Loft Conversions in Kennington That Add Space and Value

Crest Building Services builds loft conversions for homeowners across Kennington and the wider Greater London area, with founder and bricklaying specialist Wayne overseeing the structural work from the first inspection onwards. Where a conversion needs new masonry, such as a gable wall for a hip-to-gable, that brickwork is carried out in-house rather than passed to a separate trade.

Kennington is one of the many Greater London areas we serve, together with neighbouring Ladywell and Homerton, all within comfortable reach of our Bexleyheath base.

What Loft Conversions in Kennington Involves

Where a hip-to-gable conversion calls for a new masonry gable wall, that brickwork is carried out in-house rather than subcontracted, because brick laying is Wayne's own trade specialism. Keeping the structural masonry under the same roof as the rest of the build means the quality control on the load-bearing work stays consistent from the ceiling line up.

There are three main conversion types and the right one depends on your roof. Rooflight-only conversions keep the existing roof line and often fall under permitted development. Dormer conversions add headroom and floor space by building out from the roof slope. Hip-to-gable conversions replace a sloping hip end with a vertical gable wall to gain volume, and terraced and semi-detached homes across the area often suit a rear dormer or hip-to-gable particularly well.

We would rather give you an honest view on whether your loft is suitable, the likely conversion type and the realistic cost than talk you into a build your roof cannot properly take.
