Loft Conversions

Unlock the full potential of your home with a professionally designed loft conversion. At Big Discount Plans, we specialise in producing loft conversion drawings, planning permission applications, and building regulation plans for homeowners, landlords, and developers across Greater London.

Whether you’re planning a dormer loft conversion, hip-to-gable loft, mansard conversion or a Velux/rooflight loft conversion, our experienced designers deliver accurate plans that get approved quickly — helping you add space, value and comfort to your home.

A well-designed loft conversion is one of the best ways to increase living space, property value, and rental income in London.

Why Choose a Loft Conversion?

A loft conversion is often the most effective way to maximise unused attic space without extending your footprint.

  • Extra space for a bedroom, ensuite, office, studio or playroom

  • Significant increase in property value

  • Cost-effective compared to house extensions

Benefits include:

  • Ideal for HMOs, rental properties and family homes

  • Many loft types fall under Permitted Development

  • Minimal disruption when designed correctly

We create loft plans for terraced, semi-detached, detached, and bungalow properties, ensuring full compliance with planning and building regulations.

Optimised for Your Home

Every loft is different, and the success of the conversion depends on how well the design works with the existing roof shape, staircase position and head height. We check these details early so the layout feels natural, the stairs fit comfortably, and the space complies with all building regulations. The result is a conversion that looks right, feels right and can be built smoothly without unnecessary complications.
