About this service

What we cover.

Lofts, garages and outbuildings turned into proper liveable rooms — structure, insulation, electrics, plastering and finishing all in-house.

Converting a loft, garage or outbuilding is the cheapest way to add proper square footage to a Somerset home. We handle the lot in-house — structural work, insulation, fire-rated boards, electrics, plumbing, plastering, flooring and finishing. One team, one project manager, one quote.

Free quotes, fair prices, and we leave it tidier than we found it. Most of our work is from word of mouth — handy when you're picking a tradesman to let inside your home.

For the depth on what each part of the work involves, see our specialisations breakdown below.

In-Depth

Room Conversions, in specifics.

The breakdown of what room conversions actually means — pick a specialisation for the depth.

Specialisation · 01

Loft Conversion

Velux, dormer, hip-to-gable

Loft conversions are the most common conversion job we do. Type depends on your house — Velux conversions (just rooflights, no structural changes outside) suit some houses, dormer conversions (adding a box-shaped extension to the roof) give more usable floor space, and hip-to-gable conversions on semi-detached houses can almost double the loft. We coordinate the structural calculations, Building Regs and conservation issues where needed.

  • Velux/rooflight conversions
  • Dormer extensions for added floor area
  • Hip-to-gable conversions on semis
  • Steel beam installation and structural work
  • Building Regs compliance and signoff

Garage Conversion

Bedroom, office, annexe or playroom

Garages convert into liveable rooms cheaper than almost any other extension — the walls and roof are usually already there. We replace the up-and-over door with a brick wall and window, insulate the floor (which is the part garage conversions usually get wrong), upgrade insulation in the walls and roof, and fit out as a habitable room. Garage conversions don't usually need full planning permission but always need Building Regs.

  • Garage door replacement with wall and window
  • Floor insulation and damp-proofing (critical step)
  • Wall and ceiling insulation upgrade
  • First-fix electrics and heating
  • Full fit-out — plastering, flooring, decoration

Outbuilding & Annexe Conversion

Stables, barns, workshops turned into liveable space

Mendip and Somerset have a lot of old farm outbuildings — stables, byres, workshops, store rooms — that with the right work make excellent annexes, garden rooms or holiday lets. The work is more involved than a standard conversion (often there's no existing insulation, no foundations to current spec, no services run to the building) but the end result is space you couldn't get any other way. Planning rules vary so we coordinate with your local council early.

  • Stone barn and outbuilding conversions
  • Detached annexes and garden rooms
  • Holiday let conversions
  • Foundation reinforcement where needed
  • Council planning and Building Regs coordination

Structural Work & Steels

Beams, load-bearing walls, knock-throughs

Removing a load-bearing wall to open up a kitchen-diner, fitting a steel beam over a new opening, supporting an upper floor during a conversion. Structural work needs a structural engineer's calcs first, then careful execution — temporary props, controlled demolition, the steel installed and packed correctly, then the surround re-built and plastered. Building Control inspect at key stages.

  • Load-bearing wall removal
  • Steel beam (RSJ) installation
  • Knock-throughs between rooms
  • Engineer's calculations coordinated
  • Building Control inspection at key stages

Cellar & Basement Conversion

Period property cellars turned into proper rooms

Plenty of older properties around Bath, Frome and Wells have cellars or partial basements that nobody uses for anything but a tumble dryer and old paint tins. With proper waterproofing — usually a cavity drainage membrane system rather than tanking, since tanking on an old stone wall is asking for trouble — that space converts into one of the most useful rooms in the house. Home offices, music rooms, gyms, utility rooms. Headroom is the main constraint, so we measure carefully before quoting.

  • Cavity drainage membrane (CDM) waterproofing systems
  • Floor lowering where headroom is tight (with structural advice)
  • Damp-proofing and ventilation
  • Insulation, plasterboard and full fit-out
  • Sump pump and water management installation
