What to check before you hire a attic conversion company
- Ask whether the conversion will meet Building Regulations for a habitable room, or be classed as storage
- Ask who handles planning permission if a dormer is involved
- Check that an engineer designs any structural changes
- Ask for a certificate of compliance with the Building Regulations at the end
- Get a fixed price that clearly states what is included (stairs, electrics, plumbing, finishes)
What affects the price
- Habitable room versus storage standard
- Dormers and structural steel
- Stairs and fire safety upgrades
- Ensuite plumbing
- Planning, engineer and certification fees
Call-out fees usually cover travel and the first period of labour. Ask whether yours does, and what the hourly rate is after that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do attic conversion quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ in what they include: preparation, parts, making good, certification and guarantees. Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare like for like.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes, the guide ranges include VAT. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
Is it cheaper to book outside peak season?
Often, for planned work. Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs cost more at any time of year.
Do I need planning permission for an attic conversion?
A conversion with rear rooflights is often exempt, but dormers generally need planning permission. Check with your council, especially in conservation areas.
Can my attic be used as a bedroom?
Only if it meets the Building Regulations for habitable rooms, including fire safety, stairs, headroom and ventilation. Otherwise it is classed as storage.
How long does an attic conversion take?
Typically four to eight weeks, depending on size and whether dormers are involved.
