Professional Loft Conversions for Martock Properties

A loft conversion is one of the highest-return home improvements available, typically adding significantly more value than it costs to build. Brick Builds has completed loft conversions across Somerset for 17 years, delivering everything from simple Velux conversions to full dormer and hip-to-gable projects that transform unused roof space in Martock into a genuine extra bedroom, bathroom or home office.

We manage the entire loft conversion process in Martock — structural engineer calculations for the new floor and steelwork, Building Control applications and Permitted Development or planning assessment, insulation and airtightness, staircase design, and a full internal fit-out. Our clients across Somerset value that we handle every trade under one contract, with a fixed price agreed before work starts.

Loft conversions in Somerset need to work with the existing roof structure, party wall considerations and local planning policy — particularly in conservation areas. Our experience across Martock and the wider region means we know which conversion type suits your roof pitch and property type, whether that is a rear dormer, an L-shaped dual dormer, a hip-to-gable extension, or a full mansard conversion on a period property.

Frequently Asked Questions �� Loft Conversions in Martock

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Martock?
Most loft conversions in Martock fall within Permitted Development and do not require full planning permission, provided they meet certain size and design criteria — typically an additional roof space volume of up to 40m³ for terraced houses or 50m³ for detached and semi-detached properties. Conservation areas and listed buildings in Somerset are subject to stricter rules. We advise on this for free during our initial visit.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Martock?
A loft conversion in Martock typically costs between £25,000 and £65,000 depending on whether you need a basic Velux conversion or a more substantial dormer, hip-to-gable or mansard conversion. We provide fixed-price quotes following a free site visit — call 01460 353121 to arrange an assessment.
How long does a loft conversion take?
A Velux loft conversion in Martock typically takes 4–6 weeks. A dormer conversion takes 6–10 weeks, and a hip-to-gable or mansard conversion can take 10–14 weeks. We provide a detailed programme of works before starting so you know exactly what to expect.
Will my loft conversion need a party wall agreement?
If your Martock property is terraced or semi-detached and the conversion involves work on or near a shared wall, a party wall agreement is usually required. We coordinate this process on your behalf, including liaising with neighbouring owners and party wall surveyors where needed.
What type of loft conversion is right for my Somerset property?
This depends on your existing roof pitch, height and property type. A simple Velux conversion suits lofts with sufficient existing headroom, while a dormer, hip-to-gable or mansard conversion creates additional headroom and floor space where the existing roof does not allow it. We assess this during a free site visit and recommend the most cost-effective option for your Martock property.
