— About This Service
Velux Loft Conversions
A Velux loft conversion keeps the existing roof profile and uses rooflights to bring daylight and ventilation into your new room. As a family-run, design-led builder with over 20 years’ experience, AWC Loft Conversions handles surveys, structural work, electrics and finishing for a tidy, compliant job. We work with Gas Safe and NICEIC-registered trades and offer a full design-to-completion service plus a 10-year guarantee for peace of mind.
— Our Process
How It Works
Free site survey & advice
Ady or a senior carpenter visits to assess head height, roof construction, access and best rooflight positions, plus party wall or planning risks and a clear recommendation.
Design, approvals & structural checks
We produce drawings, coordinate structural engineer input and submit building regulations (and planning, if required), keeping you informed and signing off layouts before work starts.
Build, finish & handover
Local, Gas Safe/NICEIC trades install rooflights, insulation, wiring, plumbing, staircase and joinery. Final inspections, completion paperwork and our 10-year guarantee complete the job.

— FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most pitched-roof homes with adequate head height and a reasonable roof pitch are suitable. We'll check timber joist condition, roof construction and access during the free survey and confirm whether a rooflight conversion will achieve usable floor area or if structural work is needed.
