The Cost of a Dormer Loft Conversion

You have an ‘average width’ 4.8m (16 feet) London Victorian terrace house for example – a loft conversion here to include a full width rear dormer is likely to be in the region of 35k + VAT – to include:

  • ‘Drawings’… measured survey, architect consultation and detailed construction drawings
  • Building Regulations
  • Scaffolding – with appropriate temporary weathering as required
  • ‘Building works’…
  • 1st fix work – roof works to include; rear dormer, steel work, new floor, walls, velux window(s), casement windows in dormer, stairs etc.
  • 2nd fix work – insulation, plasterboard, skim coat finish, fire doors, skirting, electrics, radiator(s) etc.
  • ‘Bathroom’… services, drainage, plumb in client supplied bathroom suite and tiling

Fixtures, Fittings, Furnishings & Finishings

When it comes to the actual finishing of your project, the sky’s the limit – or at least as far as your budget will stretch. However, the following are the general loft conversion costs involved with completing your project if you’re planning on overseeing all the work yourself. Of course, when working with a loft conversion company these costs will be outlined in the extended quotation.

  • Windows & Doors (these costs will vary depending upon how many you require as well as the quality and function you desire). – £800 – £2,500+
  • Electrical wiring, fixtures and lighting. Though the price can rocket depending upon the type of lighting you want to use. – £1,500 – £3,000
  • New bathroom (including bath or shower unit, toilet and sinks as well as additional storage space and furnishings). – £3,000 – £6,000+

  • Flooring materials: £25+ per square metre

Additional Loft Conversion Costs

Though this list could practically go on forever, there are some additional loft conversion costs to consider as well.

  • You may want to rent the loft out as a separate domicile, which will mean hiring a wireman to hook up the electricity to an external source: £1,000 – £1,800
  • External metal stairwell: £3,000 – £4,500+
