Loft conversions in Epsom
We've converted lofts in Epsom since at least 2015. Here is what Epsom customers said and how planning works with Epsom & Ewell.
What Epsom customers say
3 reviews from customers in Epsom, in their own words.
“Very happy with our new loft and the professionalism of Mark and his team. All snagging issues sorted promptly also. Many thanks, we love our new loft space!”
“Each member of the Lordans team who came to our house to carry out the work, from Mark who met with us to quote for the work, through to the lads who ripped out the loft and the craftsmen who gave it a showroom finish, flew the flag for the firm by always putting the customer first and paying attention to detail, listening to what the customer wanted and giving advice based on their wealth of experience, crucial for people who are seeking to make a life-changing investment in a new living space in the loft.”
“Very impressive from start to finish. The building team were so efficient that the work was done amazingly quickly and to a very high standard. All the tradesmen used were also excellent.”
Which loft suits your house?
Rear dormer
Three-bed semis and terraces
A box built out from the back roof slope, giving full standing height and the most floor space.

Semi-detached houses with a hipped (sloping) side roof
The sloping side roof is built up into a straight gable wall, then a rear dormer goes on the back.

Victorian terraces with an L-shaped roof
A dormer that wraps the main roof and the back addition, so the new room runs in an L.

Newer houses with a trussed roof
Steel beams take the load of the criss-crossed roof trusses, so the loft opens up into a room.

Planning in Epsom
Epsom is in the area of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council. Most loft conversions don't need planning permission: they count as permitted development if they stay within the size and design rules. That changes if your house is in a conservation area, or if the council has removed permitted development rights with an Article 4 direction.
- We check your road at the free feasibility visit and tell you straight away if you need a planning application.
- Our in-house architect, Simon Burrows, draws up your loft, and Mark goes through the drawings with you, including whether permitted development applies.
- Every loft needs building regulations approval. We handle it through independent building control, start to finish.
