"Attico recently completed a kitchen extension for us, and I am absolutely delighted with the transformation. The new space is bright, modern, and seamlessly connects our kitchen to the outdoors, creating a stunning open-plan living area that has become the heart of our home.
This feature not only enhances the beauty of the space but also makes it ideal for entertaining, as we can open up the entire area to the outdoors.
The built-in shelving adds a practical yet stylish touch, allowing us to display books and decor while maintaining a clean, uncluttered look. Small details like the pop of color from the radiator and the elegant lighting fixtures really tie the design together. The overall flow and functionality of the space have been greatly improved, making daily life so much more enjoyable."

I was really nervous about getting my loft converted after some bad experiences with building work in the past, so I spent a lot of time looking for the right company.
I wanted someone I could trust to do a great job without any hidden costs or delays. Attico didn’t let me down at all they were amazing from start to finish!
The whole process was really smooth, and everything was done on time, just like they promised. There were a couple of small issues along the way, but nothing major, and they sorted everything out really quickly. The quality of the work is very very good. it’s completely changed my home, and I couldn’t be happier. Im glad I went with Attico Construction for this

How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Start by imagining what you’d like to do with the space—whether it’s a cozy home office, a gym, or an extra bedroom. Then take a good look around and check a few key things. First, think about the size—does it feel big enough for your plans? You’ll need enough space to make it functional and comfortable.
Next, check the condition. Look at the walls, floor, and roof—are there cracks, damp spots, or signs of wear? A solid, dry structure is essential for a successful conversion. Also, pay attention to light—does the garage have windows, or would you need to add some? Natural light can completely transform the feel of the space.
Ceiling height is another important factor. If it feels too low, it might need adjusting to make the space comfortable. Don’t forget how the garage connects to your home. Is it easily accessible, or will you need to make changes to create a natural flow? And think about the garage door—would you replace it with a wall, windows, or something else?
It’s also worth considering some practical details. Does the garage have electricity, water, or heating? If not, you’ll need to factor in the cost of installing those utilities. Most garages aren’t built with insulation in mind either, so adding proper insulation is crucial to make the space usable year-round. Additionally, garage floors are often lower than the rest of the house, so you might need to level it for a smooth transition.
Lastly, check if you’ll need planning permission. This depends on your location and the type of conversion, especially if your garage is attached to the property or in a conservation area.
If all these factors seem manageable and you can picture the space working for your needs, it’s likely a great candidate for a conversion.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
The garage conversion process can be broken down into a few clear stages, and knowing what’s involved can help you feel confident about taking it on. Here’s how it usually works:
Initial Assessment and Planning
Start by assessing your garage to see if it’s suitable for conversion. Look at the size, structure, and condition, and think about what you want to create—whether it’s an extra bedroom, office, or something else. At this stage, you’ll also need to check if planning permission is required or if there are any building regulations to follow.
Design and Layout
Once you know the basics, work on designing the space. This includes deciding the layout, where utilities like electrical outlets or plumbing will go, and how to incorporate features like windows or doors. A good design will maximize the space and make it functional and comfortable.
Preparation and Approvals
Before construction starts, you’ll need to handle any required approvals, like planning permission or building regulation compliance. This is also when you’ll finalize details with your builder or designer and get a clear timeline and budget.
Structural Work
The actual conversion begins with structural changes. This might include reinforcing the walls, insulating the space, leveling the floor, and replacing or modifying the garage door. If necessary, windows or skylights are added to bring in natural light.
Utilities Installation
Next, utilities like electricity, heating, and plumbing are installed. This step ensures that the space is functional and comfortable for its intended purpose.
Interior Work
With the structure and utilities in place, it’s time to finish the interiors. This includes plastering, painting, installing flooring, and fitting any necessary fixtures or furniture. Every detail is completed to make the space feel like a natural part of your home.
Final Inspection and Sign-Off
Once the work is done, a final inspection ensures that everything meets building regulations and safety standards. After this, the space is ready for use.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
Start by taking a good look at your loft and asking yourself a few key questions. First, check the head height. Stand in the middle of your loft and measure from the floor to the highest point of the roof—ideally, you need at least 2.2 meters. If it’s lower than that, it might still be possible, but it could require raising the roof or other adjustments.
Next, think about the roof structure. Is it a traditional frame with lots of open space, or does it have modern trusses that crisscross the area? Traditional frames are usually easier to convert, while trussed roofs may need extra work to make the space usable.
Also, consider the floor. Loft floors aren’t typically designed to carry the weight of furniture and people, so you’ll likely need to strengthen it during the conversion process.
Then, look at access. Do you already have space for a staircase, or will you need to create room for one? A well-designed staircase is crucial for making the loft a functional and legal part of your home.
Don’t forget to check for things like water tanks or chimney stacks that could take up valuable space. These can often be relocated, but it’s something to factor into your plans.
Finally, look at the practicalities. How’s the insulation up there? Is there natural light, or will you need to add windows like skylights or dormers? And of course, think about planning permissions—some loft conversions don’t require them, but it’s always good to check.
If your loft ticks most of these boxes or you’re willing to make a few adjustments, it’s probably a great candidate for conversion. And if you’re unsure about anything, a professional assessment can help you figure out what’s possible and what it might involve.
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
Here’s how it usually works:
Initial Assessment and Feasibility
The first step is to figure out if your loft is suitable for conversion. This includes checking the head height, roof structure, and access options. A professional might come in at this stage to provide advice and ensure the conversion complies with building regulations.
Planning and Design
Once you know your loft is suitable, it’s time to decide what you want to create—a bedroom, office, or maybe a bathroom. At this stage, you’ll work on the design and layout, including where the staircase will go, how to maximize space, and what type of windows or dormers to add for light and ventilation.
Permissions and Approvals
Depending on the type of loft conversion, you may need planning permission or a party wall agreement if the work affects shared walls. Building regulations approval is also required to ensure the conversion is safe and up to code. This step involves submitting detailed plans and getting the necessary sign-offs.
Structural Preparation
The construction process starts with preparing the loft. This often involves reinforcing the floor to handle the new weight and making structural adjustments, such as installing dormers or Velux windows. Any existing water tanks or obstructions, like chimney stacks, may need to be relocated or removed.
Insulation and Utilities
Next, the space is insulated to keep it warm and energy-efficient. Electrical wiring, plumbing (if needed), and heating systems are installed to make the loft functional and comfortable.
Internal Construction
With the basics in place, the internal work begins. This includes partitioning walls, plastering, and adding any necessary fixtures like built-in storage or bathroom fittings. At this stage, the staircase is installed to connect the loft to the rest of your home.
Finishing Touches
The final step is all about making the space your own. Flooring is laid, walls are painted, and any final details like lighting, doors, or custom features are added. The goal here is to create a space that blends seamlessly with the rest of your home.
Inspection and Sign-Off
Once the work is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure everything meets building regulations. After that, the loft is officially ready for use!
