What's Included

Every part of the job, by one team.

Loft Conversions done end to end by BBS Wales. Eric runs the build, the same lads turn up each day, the room comes back finished, snagged and clean.

01.

Dormer Lofts

The most common Vale conversion. Flat or pitched dormer adds head height and floor area, ideal for a master bedroom plus en-suite in a 1930s semi or 1970s box.

02.

Hip-to-Gable

Side-of-house hip roof opened up to a flat gable, then dormered out the back. Massive amount of usable space gained, common round Penarth, Cardiff and Cowbridge ends of terrace.

03.

Mansard Conversions

Steeper-pitch rebuild for period properties where a dormer would not suit. More planning involved, but unlocks an entire usable floor under the existing roofline.

04.

Structural Steels

RSJs and pad-stones spec'd by a Cardiff structural engineer, fitted by us, signed off by Building Control. Floor joists doubled or replaced where needed for the new loads.

05.

Velux Conversions

For tighter budgets or where planning is restricted, a Velux conversion still gives a habitable room. Often the right answer for cottages and listed properties.

06.

Staircase, Insulation & Finishes

Building Regs-compliant staircase, fire doors, breathable insulation, plastering and decorating. Carpets and skirting through to lighting and sockets, finished by the same team.

FAQ

Common questions about loft conversions.

Straight answers Eric gives every week. If yours is not on the list, ring or message and you will get an honest reply.

Do I need planning permission for a loft in the Vale?
Most loft conversions fall under permitted development. The Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff councils both allow rear dormers up to 50 cubic metres in detached and semis. We check it street by street and tell you straight.
How long does a loft take?
A standard dormer is typically 8 to 12 weeks from first day on site to handover. Hip-to-gables and mansards are 12 to 16 weeks. Eric works to a written programme.
Can I stay living downstairs while it is being built?
Yes. Most clients live in the house through the build. The team works upstairs cleanly, dust-sheets the access, hoovers up at the end of every day. Small disruption, no need to move out.
Will it actually add value to my Barry house?
Almost always, yes. A well-built loft conversion in Barry, Penarth or Cardiff typically adds 15 to 20 percent to the property value, while a bedroom and en-suite alone adds buyer demand for family homes.
Do you handle the architect and structural engineer?
Yes. BBS Wales pulls in the same architect and engineer we have used for years, you get one point of contact, one quote, one team. No chasing trades.
