A dormer loft conversion is the most common loft type built across London. It extends the existing roof slope vertically and outward, creating a flat-roofed box that gives full standing headroom inside. For a typical Victorian or Edwardian terrace, a rear dormer is the fastest, most cost-effective way to add a bedroom, ensuite and study without losing garden space, moving services, or applying for full planning permission. Our directly-employed team designs, drafts, builds and finishes dormers across all 33 London boroughs from start to handover.
Every Haringey project includes a free desk-based planning assessment before we quote. We know the local planning officers, party wall surveyors and approved inspectors by name.
