Covering Haverfordwest

We work in Haverfordwest (SA61) and the places around it, including Pembroke Dock, Tenby and Cardigan.

Homes in Dyfed

Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.

What does a loft conversion involve?

We start with the head height. You need roughly 2.2 m or more from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge for a conversion to work without raising the roof. From there we design the staircase position, the type of conversion and the en-suite, and manage the whole build including fire safety and building control.

  • Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
  • New floor joists, steels and staircase
  • En-suite, electrics, heating and fire safety upgrades
