Q. Are A1 Lofts Limited experienced and specialists in loft conversions?
A. Yes. We have many years experience in designing
and building loft conversions and we use only skilled,
professional tradesmen.

insurance-backed guarantee can be purchased at the time
of contract for an additional small fee, for total peace of mind.
Q. Can I see a completed conversion?
A. Yes, we would be delighted to show you a recent conversion
at the home of one of our many satisfied customers.
Q. How many different types of loft conversions are there?
A. Many, converting the area already available in your loft
with a minimal amount of external building work is called a
Velux conversion. A conversion with an extension to the roof
may be called a Dormer or Mansard. In addition there are Hip
To Gable extensions, Wrap-Around Dormers and L-Shaped Dormers.
Some of the options available can be viewed under the heading

Q. How do I know which one would be most suitable?

lofts since 1989 will call to visit personally to give an initial
