Loft Conversion Leeds

Built an hour up the A1 from Leeds

Your new floor is made in our own factory at Brompton on Swale, North Yorkshire, and craned on in a day. More than 25 Moduloft homes across Yorkshire have been built this way: Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, Monk Fryston, Stutton near Tadcaster, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Selby, York, Northallerton, Richmond and Thirsk among them. Every one on a fixed price agreed before we started.

Why off-site works well for Leeds homes

Leeds runs from Victorian terraces and back-to-backs in Headingley, Hyde Park and Armley, through the inter-war semis of Moortown, Roundhay and Horsforth, to the larger detached homes towards Bramhope, Wetherby and the Harrogate road. They suit our method for different reasons.

On a terrace or a semi, the value is in the disruption you avoid. A traditional conversion means scaffolding up for months on a street where the neighbours are close. Your new floor arrives finished and is watertight the same day.

On the larger detached homes and bungalows, the value is in what you get. We do not work inside the existing roof. We take it off and crane on a complete new storey with full ceiling height, so you gain proper rooms rather than a room in the roof. On a bungalow that is a whole new floor, and there is more on our bungalow page.

How it works, door to door

We visit your home to measure up and understand your brief. Your new floor is built in our factory, walls, wiring, plumbing and finishes complete, while your home stays untouched. It’s craned into place, watertight the same day, with planning and building control handled throughout.

Party walls on terraces and semis

If your home is terraced or semi-detached, raising the roof means work on or near the party wall, so the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice has to be served on your neighbour before work starts. You appoint the party wall surveyor and the award is made between you and your neighbour; we are not a party to it. We tell you at survey whether your project needs one, so you can get it moving early. It is a cost on top of the build, and the notice periods are set by the Act, so it is one of the few parts of the programme that cannot be compressed.

What a Moduloft costs in Leeds

Most Moduloft homes land between £155,000 and £265,000 including VAT. That is more than a traditional loft conversion, and it should be, because it is not the same thing. A traditional conversion works inside your existing roof. We take the roof off and give you a complete new storey with full ceiling height, then put a new roof on top.

What the fixed price includes: planning, design and drawings; the full new floor structure and a new roof; insulation, plastering to a mist coat, windows, cladding and guttering; heating and electrics; your new staircase; the crane, transport and scaffolding; building control.

What you add yourself: flooring, decoration beyond the mist coat and the bathroom fit-out, done to your taste by a local trade. If your home is terraced or semi-detached, your own party wall surveyor.

What moves the number: the size of the footprint, how many rooms and bathrooms you want, and how straightforward the crane access is.

The calculator above gives an indicative range for your home in about a minute. A site survey is £395 including VAT, and that is where the range becomes a fixed price. There is more on our loft conversion cost page.
