Loft Conversions in Lingfield, Crawley & All Other Surrey / West Sussex Locations | Apex Design and Build
Not many of us get up into our attics very often. And there’s no wonder why this is the case, with so many lofts being employed as overflow storage for rarely accessed items, with Christmas lights and decorations stashed away in a cobweb filled corner being a prime offender. But with space demanding such a premium in this day and age, especially in the competitive property markets of places like East Grinstead, Lingfield, Crawley and Forest Row, it feels like a huge waste of potential to let something that’s already just sitting there, be so underutilised. Luckily, there’s an answer - loft conversions staged by your trusted local and family-run builder, Apex.
Similar to garage conversions, our loft conversions alter and enhance existing space to make it perfectly suited to your intended end use. A client in East Grinstead may be looking to set up a warm and comfortable home office, while one in Lingfield may be looking for their dream entertainment room, a place to spend quality time with family and friends alike. Someone in Crawley may task us with building a new master bathroom, while a beautiful new bedroom with or without an en suite may be on the wish list of a Forest Row client…
Whatever it is you’re searching for, we’ll ensure that you receive your dream addition without compromise.

Types of Loft Conversions
Firstly, the most common type of loft conversion is the Velux or roof light conversion. This involves adding windows into the existing roof slope, allowing natural light to flood the space. Velux conversions are a cost-effective option, suitable for East Grinstead, Lingfield, Crawley and Forest Row properties with sufficient headroom, which require minimal structural alteration.
Dormer loft conversions, on the other hand, involve extending the roof upward to create lots of extra headroom and floor space. A dormer can offer versatility by providing more usable space and the option to add various window styles, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
For properties where space might be a constraint, hip-to-gable loft conversions might prove an ideal solution. These involve extending the hip roof to form a gable end, maximising space within the loft. This type of conversion is ideal for detached or semi-detached homes around East Grinstead, Lingfield, Crawley or Forest Row with hipped roofs, providing an efficient way to add substantial square footage.
Mansard loft conversions are often chosen for their dramatic transformation of the roof shape, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and spacious living area. These are most appropriate for properties where planning restrictions may allow for full alteration of the roofline.
