Victorian & Edwardian Homes

London is well-known for its character Victorian and Edwardian properties. And at Central Lofts we have a soft spot for creating extra living space in these homes across London and the M25.

A perfect choice for conversions, these properties often have high ceilings and large rooms; frequently being transformed into small flats. We have a variety of different options to choose from, so it’s important to find the right solution that meets your needs. We recognise that you’ll want to retain the natural character of your property, which also will be a requirement of your local council too.

Standard Dormer

Our top choice of loft conversion that creates real value for money and a return on your investment. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a large bedroom and a bathroom or even two small bedrooms. If your neighbour is also looking to extend their property too, why not discuss having a joint loft extension? Benefit from quicker completion as there’ll only be one set of works.

Are you looking for a decent-sized new bedroom and a shower room to add to your property? A standard dormer is perfect for a Victorian home. The new Velux windows at the front look great, and the dormer at the back create all of the additional space that you’ll need to create a bedroom or office – depending on your needs. The roof slope makes a perfect space for a new shower room too.
