Transform your unused loft into a beautifully designed, fully functional living space with Standley Design & Build’s end-to-end design and build service. From the very first concept through planning, engineering, and construction, our expert team manages every stage of the process — ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience and a stunning result that adds both space and value to your home.
As a dad and husband himself, our founder Jon Standley gets what family life is really like. He knows a loft conversion isn’t just about extra space — it’s about creating a home that actually works for the way you live, making everyday life easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
We plan each stage carefully to minimise disruption, so your family can carry on with daily life while we transform your home.
Take a look at some of our recent loft conversions, where we’ve transformed unused spaces into beautifully designed rooms — from cosy bedrooms and bright home offices to spacious family playrooms and stunning open-plan living areas.
Our customers are truly at the heart of everything we do, and their experiences reflect the care, dedication, and attention to detail that go into every loft conversion we deliver.
I am glad I have chosen Jon for my home renovation projects. He was fantastic listening to what we wanted for the transformation and provided a lot of examples for reference. He was very efficient laying out the plans, providing competitive quotes and mostly importantly responsive whenever I reached out.
We had an amazing experience converting our loft with Standley Design and Build, from the initial quote to completing the job. Jon was very clear about what the quote included and very well organised. Throughout the job, communication was fantastic and any small issues sorted quickly and fairly.
We had the pleasure of using Standley Design & Build to renovate and reconfigure our bedroom (which used to be a living room). The whole process was seamless, great communication throughout and we’re so so happy with the final result. Thank you so much to Jon and the team.
We understand that moving can be one of life’s most stressful experiences — from endless packing and rising costs to leaving behind a home full of memories. That’s why we believe the better choice is transforming the space you already love. A loft conversion gives you the extra room your family needs without the hassle of relocating, turning your current house into your forever home.
At Standley Design & Build, our work is shaped by a commitment to quality, honesty, and care — values that guide every decision we make and every space we create. We believe your home deserves the same attention and respect we’d give our own.

Most loft conversions take around 8 to 12 weeks, depending on size and complexity. At Standley Design & Build, we plan every stage carefully to keep things on schedule and minimise disruption to your home.
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development rights, so planning permission isn’t always needed. If your project does require it, we’ll guide you through the whole process — from preparing drawings and submitting applications to securing approvals — making everything simple and stress-free.
Yes — most families stay home while we work. Our team minimises disruption, reduces mess, and keeps your daily routine running smoothly throughout the project.
Costs vary depending on the size, design, and complexity of the project, but most loft conversions range from £45,000 to £70,000. We provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden surprises and work closely with you to maximise your budget.
