A dormer loft conversion is the smartest way to add a whole new room to your Nottingham home. It gives you a beautiful, light-filled space and can seriously increase your property’s value. We build stunning dormer lofts that feel like they were always meant to be there.
OUR SERVICES
Dormers aren’t one-size-fits-all. We can design the perfect style to match your home and give you the space you need.
This is the most popular choice. It’s a simple, clean design that gives you the biggest possible room inside. It’s cost-effective and practical, making it a brilliant option for almost any home.
Sometimes called a ‘dog-house’ dormer, this style has a pretty, pitched roof that matches your main roof. It adds a lot of character and looks wonderful from the street.
This is another attractive option, with a roof that slopes on three sides. It has a slightly softer look than a flat roof dormer and works very well on homes that already have hipped roofs.
If you live in a classic Nottingham Victorian or Edwardian terraced house, this is a fantastic choice. The 'L' shape wraps around the back of your home, creating a huge amount of space. People often use this design to create a large master bedroom and a separate en-suite bathroom.
Every project is different, so the final price depends on your specific home and dreams. The size of the dormer, the type of windows you choose, and whether you want a bathroom all affect the cost.
To give you an idea, a typical dormer loft conversion in Nottingham usually starts from around £35,000.
The best way to know for sure is to get a precise quote. We provide a fully detailed breakdown so you can see exactly where your money is going. There are no salespeople and no pressure, just honest advice.
Think of it like adding a box that sticks out from your existing sloped roof. This simple change creates a room with straight walls and a normal, flat ceiling. It’s a bit of building magic.
Suddenly, a dark, dusty attic becomes a proper room. This smart design gives you:
No more ducking under beams. You can walk around freely.
The box shape lets you use every square inch of the room.
Dormers are perfect for adding large windows that flood your new space with daylight
It’s the most popular type of loft conversion for a reason. You get the most usable space for your money. You can find out more about all the types of loft conversions we offer.
A dormer loft isn’t just a great idea; it’s a perfect fit for Nottingham’s unique homes and neighbourhoods.
Many of us live in beautiful older houses that we love, but they weren’t built for modern family life. Whether you have a classic Victorian terrace in The Meadows, a semi-detached home in Wollaton, or a growing family in West Bridgford, space is often tight. A dormer gives you that much-needed extra bedroom or home office without eating into your garden.
It’s also a wise financial move. In the active Nottingham property market, adding a bedroom and bathroom can increase your home’s value by up to 20%. It’s an investment that pays you back, both in living space and on paper.
Plus, think about the views! A new dormer window could give you a whole new perspective of your neighbourhood, looking out over the trees and rooftops. It turns a forgotten attic into one of the best rooms in the house.
“Will I need planning permission?” It’s one of the first questions everyone asks.
The good news is that most dormer loft conversions in Nottingham do not need full planning permission. They usually fall under something called ‘Permitted Development Rights’. This means you can build without a full application, as long as you follow a few rules:
For terraced houses, the dormer can’t add more than 40 cubic metres of space.
For detached and semi-detached houses, the limit is 50 cubic metres.
The materials used must look similar to your existing house.
You can’t add a balcony or a veranda.
Some areas in Nottingham, known as Conservation Areas, have stricter rules. But don’t let that worry you. We have years of experience working with the Nottingham City Council. We know their guidelines inside out and will manage the entire process for you, making sure everything is approved correctly.

We work hard to keep disruption low. For the first few weeks, most of the work happens from scaffolding on the outside. We only break through into the house to install the staircase near the end of the project.
You need about 2.2 metres of clear head height at the highest point of your attic. We can check this for you for free during our initial home visit.
