A loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to add space and value to your Kent home. But how much should you expect to pay?
Velux or rooflight conversions are the most affordable option, typically costing between £20,000 and £35,000. These work well when the existing roof height and pitch allow for usable headroom without structural changes.
Dormer loft conversions are the most popular choice across Kent. By extending outward from the roof slope, they create significantly more usable floor space. Expect to pay between £35,000 and £55,000 depending on size and specification.
Hip-to-gable conversions, common on semi-detached and detached homes, involve reshaping the roof to create a vertical wall. These typically cost between £40,000 and £65,000.
Mansard conversions are the most extensive option, effectively creating a new storey. Costs range from £50,000 to £80,000+ but they offer the maximum space gain.
Factors that influence cost include your location within Kent, the condition of the existing roof structure, whether planning permission is required, the level of finish you want, and access considerations.
