Create A Stunning New Living Space

Do you have an unused loft that is just taking up space? If so, why not transform it into a stunning living area with a loft conversion?

Kensington is one of the most sought-after areas in London, and it’s easy to see why. It’s in the heart of the city, and residents enjoy high energy and a vibrant atmosphere. There are plenty of things to do, and the rest of the city is just a stone’s throw away if you want to venture further afield.

Victorian properties are rampant in Kensington, yet you’ll find different types of homes of all shapes and sizes – apartments, terraced homes, detached properties and more. Below, we’ll talk about the different loft conversion types to give you more of an idea of what might be right for your Kensington home.

Why should I get a loft conversion in Kensington?

Most homeowners we help in Kensington come to us for the extra space a loft conversion can add to their home. We take a once-redundant space and set about turning it into a brand new living space used for whatever the owner has in mind. A gym, an office, an extra bedroom – the choice is yours, and the world’s your oyster!

Another super important point is the increased value you’ll add to your home as well. Space is at a premium in London, and new homeowners are always on the lookout for homes with that extra bit of space – and they’re willing to pay for it too.

Types of Loft Conversions

Let’s have a look at the different types of loft conversions BNS lofts can help you with. That way, you’ll be able to get more of a feel for which type of loft is right for you. If you’re still unsure, click the button below to get in touch, and we’ll help clear things up for you.

Dormer

This involves adding a ‘box shape’ to the top of your house, like the one in the picture below. Part of your existing roof is removed, and the ‘box shape’ is then added to give you more space and headroom.

Hip to Gable

It’s where a sloping roof is remodelled into a vertical gable wall. In non-builder speak, that means we transform a sloped roof, with cramped space inside, into a more open, spacious area by extending the ridge on your roof vertically.

Hip To Gable And Rear Dormer Loft (Combined)

Hip to gable and rear dormer loft conversions are a mixture of the two: changing your sloping roof into a vertical one, as well as adding a box-like structure onto your roof to create space that wasn’t previously there for you to enjoy.

L-Shaped Dormer Loft

The name gives it away! It’s an ‘L-shape’, which is created by connecting two dormers together at right angles. The larger dormer will sit on your main roof, whilst the smaller one is built on the rear roof.

Mansard

Think of a Mansard as an extension to the entire plane of the roof on your house. You can generally find them at the rear of your property, and they work by changing the ‘slope’ on your roof into an almost vertical angle (at least 72 degrees).

Skylight / Velux

In essence, you transform loft space that you already have available, by adding in Velux windows to give the room a whole new purpose.

  Ben and Sophie have been extremely helpful and professional throughout the project and they have responded to all my queries swiftly and clearly right from the beginning. My project is mainly to convert a one-bedroom flat into a two-bedroom flat with an open kitchen and carry out renovation work within a block of flats. There were concerns about possible nuisance to my neighbours but the team had always tried their best to minimise disturbance and disruption to my neighbours as well as address their concerns as far as practicable.

The workmanship and work completed by BNS are of high quality and have in many aspects exceeded my expectations. On several occasions when there were changes to the original design, Ben and his team have patiently and effectively accommodated my requests and have been very polite and reasonable in every occasion. Furthermore, Ben had arranged the team to kindly reskim the entire property out of courtesy, which was not part of the original agreed scope of work, simply because Ben wanted me to enjoy an immaculate flat when finished! This shows that Ben will try his very best to come up with a high standard of work and ensure complete satisfaction of his customer. Though the work period was longer than originally envisaged due to unprecedented issues, the problems were resolved smoothly and quickly by the team. I was kept up to date on the work and progress all the time which I really appreciate. It has been a pleasure working with Ben, Sophie and the team, and I am both thankful and grateful for all their kind assistance, helpful advice and professionalism throughout the past few months. I have no hesitation to recommend BNS Construction Ltd to my friends and colleagues should they look for an honest, responsible, competent and quality builder.

  Ben and his team did a fabulous job on a 6 x 5 meter extension with a lantern ceiling.
The boys tidied up very well every day and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

  Ben and his team are courteous, professional and very easy to talk to. It started with an extension for a granny flat and grew into half the house being renovated. There were a few mistakes on both sides as things changed but Ben was always available to talk to and nothing was ever a problem to sort out. He works to a high standard and leaves the place clean and tidy. I would be more than happy to use him again and have already recommended them to friends

  We had a very positive, overall experience with the lovely Ben and Sophie who run a tight ship at BNS Construction and happily recommend you consider meeting them before committing to your next project.

Having shopped around for a few months, from the day we first met Ben and Sophie it was clear that they are a very sincere and genuine couple who strive to provide a high value service through their personal and friendly approach towards their clients and operations.

Our ground floor, rear extension and WC conversion wasn’t a large project but still required an element of diligence and care which Ben and Sophie strived to provide, through their team, from day one. As with any similar scope of project some challenges occurred but Ben and Sophie constantly and consistently stepped up and rectified matters, where they were required.

Ben and the team were excellent at staying flexible and working around all of the (inevitable) obstacles that occur during these builds, however, none of these were too big to overcome and Ben was always on hand to listen and provide his assurances and expertise… sometimes working late into the night but always with a smile on his face.

We're delighted with how our extension / conversion has turned out!

  We used BNS to reconfigure our bathroom and remove an upstairs chimney breast. The work was completed efficiently and to a good standard! The plastering was very good indeed and the project management excellent.  Very responsive and would certainly use again and recommend to others!

  The BNS team have been brilliant! Ben and Sophie were incredibly professional, constantly checking in to make sure everything ran smoothly with the project. Whilst Miri and the guys did an incredible job of our house renovations including fitting the kitchen island, building a recessed wall, panelling and putting in bi-folding doors into our office. They always kept everything as clean as possible and everything has been done to an incredibly high standard. I cannot recommend them enough and am very pleased with how the works turned out.

  Highly recommended construction company. I asked for a full refurb and double extension and roof conversions to be carried out. I am so happy with the overall finish of the project. Ben kept me up to date at all times through our group chat and always answered my questions promptly. His team were professional and respectful at all times and I would recommend BNS construction to anyone looking for a high standard of finish and a reliable builder.

  Updated my previous review now that the project has been finished. I came across BNS Ltd from a family recommendation and used Ben & Sophie to do a 4m extension, covered patio, new rear shed and ground floor renovation including removal of chimney breast, new toilet and pantry.

Although I was worried at times, Ben always put my mind at ease with his can do attitude. There hasn't been any hidden costs, the work was done very professionally and even complicated items (such as some drainage alternations in the neighbours) was done with minimal hassle. The project finished on time even with additional items added to the scope of works (we wanted a bigger patio and some shelfing in the pantry etc)

Ben & Sophie balances a few projects at the same time but they are always available via the phone when required so you feel cared for in terms of the personal support and experience. Sophie is helpful giving us their best suppliers which get good rates and discounts and help with the timing. We lived in the property during the entirety of the works and the team ensured they always tidied up at the end of the day as well as made sure we never lost hot water in the midst of swapping kitchens and boilers. Even after the works Ben was always willing to pick up the phone or come see if we wern't sure about anything which shows a care beyond just the completion of works.

Everything went smoothly and would highly recommend Ben and Sophie and their team and we are certainly enjoying our new extension.

  BNS Construction renovated my entire property; 2 reception rooms, kitchen, dining room, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The team were absolutely fantastic from start to finish, they listened to all my ideas and gave me lots of helpful suggestions. Ben explained all the costs in his estimate and even sourced helpful cost effective alternatives to save me money. I am so pleased with the finish and workmanship. I will be recommending them to all my friends and family. I am planning to have an extension in the future and will be using BNS again, without a doubt!
