Loft & Garage Conversions with Extensions in London
Home » House Extensions London »
At Bigness Group, we specialise in loft and garage conversions combined with home extensions — a powerful way to maximise space, comfort, and property value without moving.
By integrating vertical and horizontal expansion, we create cohesive, functional homes that blend new floors, rooms, and layouts seamlessly with your existing structure.
From design and planning to full construction and finishing, our team delivers turn-key transformation — tailored to London’s diverse architecture and regulations.
Design and Build
Our design-and-build service ensures your conversion and extension flow together perfectly.
-
Architectural design and space planning for multi-level conversions

Full construction management and transparent reporting
We take a holistic approach — treating your home as one interconnected structure, not two separate projects.
Types of Loft & Garage Conversions with Extensions
We combine different configurations depending on your space and goals:
-
Rear extension + loft dormer – expand the kitchen/dining area and add a master suite above.
-
Wrap-around extension + loft conversion – open-plan living downstairs, office or bedroom upstairs.
-
Garage conversion + side-return – create utility rooms, gyms, or studies connected to the new extension.
-
Double-storey extension + loft conversion – full property transformation adding multiple new rooms.
-
Integrated conversions – link all floors with new staircases and smart layouts for natural flow.
Every project is uniquely engineered to deliver balance, light, and function.

-
Survey & Design – Measure, model, and design every floor connection point.

FAQ
Do I need planning permission for a loft or garage conversion with an extension?
Often, permitted development applies, but combining works usually requires planning. We handle all submissions.
Can you convert the loft and extend the house at the same time?
Yes — combining the two saves time and cost, as foundations and structure can be coordinated.
How long does it take?
Most combined projects take 16–24 weeks, depending on size and design complexity.
Will the new loft be warm and soundproof?
Yes — we install premium insulation, acoustic barriers, and modern heating systems.
Can you match materials to my existing property?
Absolutely — we source matching brick, slate, and finishes for a seamless look.
