Project Overview
Bigness Group was commissioned to design and build a loft conversion for a detached property in Barnet, transforming unused roof space into a bright, elegant master suite with a private bathroom and integrated storage.
The client’s goal was to add living space and value without compromising the property’s character.
Our team handled every stage — from structural reinforcement and insulation to interior finishing and bespoke carpentry.
Project Objectives
- Create a spacious master bedroom with natural light and open layout.
- Add an en-suite bathroom with modern fittings.
- Improve thermal performance and sound insulation.
- Deliver a premium finish aligned with the property’s design.
Scope of Works
- Full structural conversion of the existing loft space.
- Installation of new floor joists, steel beams, and roof insulation.
- Internal wall framing, plasterboarding, and soundproofing.
- Electrical rewiring and recessed lighting installation.
- Flooring installation – engineered oak boards.
- Custom joinery: built-in wardrobes and desk area.
- Painting, finishing, and final quality inspection.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge 1 – Roof Weather Protection
The conversion took place during a rainy period, requiring temporary tarpaulin coverage.
✅ Solution: Full scaffolding with waterproof sheeting ensured continuous work and protection from the elements.
Challenge 2 – Structural Integration
Existing roof beams were undersized for the planned layout.
✅ Solution: Installed steel RSJs and new joists to meet building regulations and enhance stability.
Challenge 3 – Space Optimization
Angled ceilings limited storage space.
✅ Solution: Custom-built wardrobes fitted seamlessly into the eaves, maximizing functionality.
Results
✅ Elegant new master suite with ensuite bathroom.
✅ Increased property value and usable living area.
✅ Energy-efficient and sound-insulated design.
✅ Contemporary interior with warm tones and minimalist aesthetic.
