Maximizing Space and Value with Richmond Loft Conversions: A Comprehensive Guide
As a leading loft conversion specialist in South London, we understand Richmond presents unique opportunities for adding extra living space. With property prices averaging £700,000-£900,000, a conversion Richmond project makes more financial sense than moving or building a traditional home extension.
Conservation areas cover substantial portions of Richmond. If your home sits within these zones, you’ll face stricter requirements for dormer loft conversions and other structural changes.

Our Loft Conversion Plans
Type of loft conversion services
MOST POPULAR CHOICE
Dormer Loft Conversion
A dormer loft conversion extends your rear roof slope to create substantial extra living space with full-height headroom. This is the most popular type among loft conversion companies in Richmond for terraced properties. The dormer loft design maximises usable space while typically staying within permitted development rules. Our loft conversion builders specialise in rear dormer designs that balance space, cost, and regulatory compliance.
Best for: Most Richmond terraces where rear elevations face gardens
Typical cost: £35,000–£50,000 (including en-suite bathroom)
PREMIUM SPACE SOLUTION
Mansard Loft Conversion
Named after 17th-century French architect François Mansart, a mansard loft conversion creates a near-vertical rear wall. This type adds maximum living space but always requires full planning permission. The mansard loft provides the most dramatic transformation and highest return on investment. Bespoke conversions add 15–25% to Richmond property values—potentially £105,000–£225,000 from a £50,000+ investment. If you need substantial additional space and your property allows it, this is the premium solution.
Best for: Larger properties where you need significant extra space
Typical cost: £50,000–£80,000+
SEMI-DETACHED SPECIALIST
Hip to Gable Loft Conversion
We build out the side slope to create a vertical gable end, maximising floor area with structural alterations to your existing roof. Hip to gable conversions transform sloping roof sections into vertical walls, significantly increasing usable floor area. This structural approach is particularly effective for semi-detached properties. We provide complete structural calculations, planning drawings, and building regulation details end-to-end.
Best for: Semi-detached properties in North Sheen, Kew, and East Sheen
Typical cost: £40,000–£60,000
MAXIMUM FLOOR AREA
L-Shaped Loft Conversion
L-shaped loft conversions combine dormer and hip-to-gable elements, wrapping around your roof for maximum floor area. This design suits properties with more complex roof layouts and is popular for corner properties or semi-detached homes. Our London architects develop innovative designs that turn your ideas into practical, beautiful spaces—complete with compliant technical drawings and coordination with structural engineering where required.
Best for: Corner properties and semi-detached homes requiring maximum space
Typical cost: £45,000–£65,000
BUDGET-FRIENDLY OPTION
Velux Loft Conversion
We add rooflights to your existing roof slope without changing its external shape. This cost-effective approach works brilliantly for properties with adequate existing headroom. Installation usually doesn't require planning permission under permitted development rights, avoiding delays. Perfect for home offices, guest bedrooms, or hobby rooms where you want natural light without major structural work. We prepare comprehensive building regulation drawings showing all technical requirements Building Control needs.
Best for: Victorian terraces with adequate head height along Richmond's residential streets
Typical cost: £20,000–£35,000

Most lofts suit conversion if they meet basic criteria. Our attic conversion service begins with a free consultation where our expert architects measure your space and advise on converting your loft space feasibility.
