Loft Conversion Builders in Cambridge

Service Overview

Every roof is different. The right design needs to account for headroom, the existing structure, safe access, insulation, fire safety and the rooms below.

Prestige builds to the approved architectural and engineering design, coordinating the agreed structure, roof alterations, stairs, building services and internal work so each part comes together in the right order.

Tell us how you would like to use the space and share any drawings, measurements or roof photographs you already have.
A loft conversion often runs alongside other work. Where new space is also being added at ground level, see our extensions page; where a gable or chimney needs new masonry, our brickwork page. We convert lofts across Cambridgeshire, including Great Shelford, Histon, Trumpington and Milton. Our full range of work is listed on the services page.

Which type of loft conversion?

There are three common answers and the roof usually decides which one applies. A rooflight conversion is the cheapest and least disruptive, but it adds no volume, so it only works where the head height is already there. A dormer conversion builds out from the rear slope and creates head height where there was none, which is why it is the most common. A hip-to-gable conversion applies only to houses with a hipped roof and gives the most room of the three, usually paired with a dormer. Each page sets out what is actually involved and what tends to go wrong.
