Loft Conversion Specialists in Suffolk

A well-designed loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to add space and value to your home. In Suffolk, where demand for four-bedroom family homes is consistently strong, a loft conversion that adds a usable bedroom and bathroom can add 15–20% to your property's value.

Construction Made Clear Ltd has been carrying out loft conversions across Bury St Edmunds and Suffolk for over 35 years. We manage the entire process — from initial design and structural engineering through to building regulations sign-off and final fit-out.

We're accredited by the Federation of Master Builders and the Chartered Institute of Building. Every conversion is fully project managed, with daily progress updates through your dedicated client portal.

Types of Loft Conversion We Build

Velux (Roof Light) Conversion

The most straightforward and cost-effective option. Velux windows are installed into the existing roof slope — no structural changes to the roofline. Ideal where there is sufficient existing head height. Typically from £30,000.

Best for: properties with good existing head height and a simple roof structure.

Dormer Conversion

A box-shaped extension to the existing roof that creates a vertical wall and flat or pitched roof. Significantly increases usable floor area and head height. The most popular conversion type in Suffolk. Typically from £45,000.

Best for: most standard semi-detached and detached houses.

Hip-to-Gable Conversion

Converts a hipped (sloping) roof end into a vertical gable wall, creating a much larger loft space. Often combined with a rear dormer for maximum space. Typically from £50,000.

Best for: detached and semi-detached houses with hipped roofs.

Mansard Conversion

The most extensive conversion type — the entire roof structure is rebuilt with near-vertical rear walls and a flat roof. Creates the maximum possible floor area. Typically from £60,000.

Best for: terraced houses and properties where maximum space is the priority.
