A loft conversion is often the most cost-effective way to add a bedroom, home office or en-suite to a Wirral home. We design the layout, staircase and rooflines to make the most of head height and light, and prepare the planning and building-regulations drawings your project needs — ready for a builder to price and build.

Add floor area and head height with a dormer designed to suit your roof, your street and the space you need.
A simpler, often cost-effective route where your existing roof already has the height for it.
Where suitable, squaring off a hipped roof to unlock significantly more usable space.
Designed early so the finished loft is comfortable, compliant and genuinely usable rather than an afterthought.
Many loft conversions are permitted development, particularly rooflight conversions that don't alter the roof shape. Dormers and other changes have volume and position limits, and homes in conservation areas or with an Article 4 direction often lose those rights.
We advise on the likely route and, where a full householder application or Lawful Development Certificate is the sensible step, prepare the drawings to support it — subject to confirmation with your local authority.
Habitable loft conversions always need building-regulations approval. This covers structure, fire safety and means of escape (often including protected stairways and fire doors), insulation and stair design.
We prepare the building-regulations drawings, and where new beams or floor structure are involved a structural engineer provides the supporting calculations.
Wirral's terraces and semis vary in roof pitch and ridge height, which affects how much usable space a conversion really gains. We assess that early so you have a realistic picture before committing.
On streets with a consistent roofline, dormer design needs to be handled sympathetically — both for planning and so the finished home still looks right.
