Completed 2019 · 96 sqm of new space · three rooms and two bathrooms · an inset side balcony with glass balustrade

Loft Conversion in Sale, Greater Manchester

Sale, Greater Manchester (M33)

The brief

This loft conversion in Sale gave a family a large, characterful top floor to their detached home – three rooms, two bathrooms and a standout outdoor space they could actually step out onto and enjoy the view.

What we did

We took the existing roof off and replaced it with a substantial new floor, built to full specification in our North Yorkshire factory and craned into position in a day. The headline feature is an inset side balcony – a GRP non-slip deck with a frameless glass balustrade and aluminium doors – set neatly into the massing so it feels designed-in, not tacked on. The new storey’s gable ends were finished in horizontal timber cladding for a warm, natural look, with VELUX rooflights bringing plenty of daylight through the whole floor. Three rooms and two bathrooms were laid out and first-fixed ready for finishing. A balcony like this is exactly the kind of thing a new-floor build lets you do properly, and it’s part of the honest picture on why a Moduloft costs more than a traditional conversion: more floor, more head height, more genuinely usable home. The construction itself is entirely conventional, just assembled indoors.

The result

The family gained a generous new floor with full ceiling heights, three rooms, two bathrooms and a proper side balcony to step out onto – space and outlook a converted attic could never give. Built off-site while the household lived normally, the on-site phase was weeks, not months of disruption. It’s fully mortgageable and signed off by Building Control, inspected during the factory build, and it sits among 355+ Moduloft conversions completed since 2016 – every one finished.

“They were really great to work with from design through to completion.”
We had an excellent experience with Moduloft. They were really great to work with from design through to completion. There are many advantages using their services. First and foremost is the speed. Without dependency on the weather means there are few interruptions to your build, which in Scotland is a massive bonus. Second is the ability to stay at your house for the duration of the build meaning you save on rental costs, and you don’t have to move out and back in, which could otherwise be a painful experience with children in tow. Another major benefit of that you are largely working with one single contractor with Moduloft. They provide all the services under one roof, and so can schedule all of the activities to occur in quick succession. All in all I can’t recommend the company enough. We are delighted with the quality of the worksmanship and our building inspector even remarked on the speed and quality.

“Loft conversion completed with only 2-3 weeks of disruption – ModuLoft make miracles happen.”
ModuLoft provided a smooth and professional service from start to finish. Andrew’s design met the brief and the installation team were efficient, effective and on schedule. Tim the MD was communicative throughout and any small issues were dealt with a no-quibble attitude. I cannot recommend this company enough.

“Hard to tell from the ground floor that work was being carried out upstairs.”
ModuLoft have done an amazing job with our loft conversion. We now have a master bedroom and en-suite with a balcony view from a Velux MK19. Jim & Charlie were superb – we can’t praise them enough for all their hard work. They even hoovered up at the end of each day.

“Expectations were smashed – install teams have to be seen to be believed.”
Team would be on site at 8AM Monday morning, having driven 5 hours from North Yorkshire to us, and worked through to 8-9 at night. Professional and flexible throughout – last minute changes accommodated. After-sales and snagging support was exemplary. Great to see a British company really excelling at what they do.
