Websites for loft conversion companies
Websites for loft conversion firms: answer the head-height question before they ring
A homeowner thinking about a loft has measured the ridge with a tape and searched “loft conversion” with the town on the end. They want to know whether it will work, what type, whether it needs planning, where the stairs go, and what it costs. The loft firm whose site answers those, with photos of a dormer on a house like theirs, gets the survey. We build that site.
The pages
A page per type of loft, because homeowners search by type
Rooflight, dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard. Each has its own search, its own price band and its own worries, and each deserves its own photos.
- Rooflight (Velux) conversions
- The simplest and cheapest, and the one most homeowners search first. A page that says when it is enough and when it is not.
- Dormer conversions
- Rear dormers are the volume job. Flat-roof and gable-fronted, the extra head height, the bathroom that fits. The page with the most photos.
- Hip-to-gable
- Semis and end terraces. Often paired with a rear dormer. A page that explains the roof change and shows a finished one from the street.
- Mansard and L-shaped
- Bigger, more planning, terraces in cities. The page that proves you have done the complicated ones.
The questions
Five worries the site settles before the survey visit
A loft conversion is a technical purchase. The firm that explains the technical parts plainly on its own site is the firm that seems to know what it is doing, because it does.
- Head height
- The 2.2 metre question every homeowner asks after measuring with a tape. Answered on the page, with what happens when it is 2.1.
- Planning or permitted development
- Volume limits, what a dormer can and cannot do under permitted development, conservation areas, and when a full application is needed.
- Building Regulations
- Fire doors, escape windows, the staircase, insulation, structural calculations. The page that lists them calmly is the one that gets trusted.
- The staircase
- Where it lands, what room it takes, the alternatives. The detail that decides whether a loft works at all, and almost no firm's site mentions it.
- How long and how messy
- Weeks, scaffolding, the roof open, the family still living underneath. Honest pages win here.
Projects
The photo from the street, and the one from the top of the new stairs
Loft projects photograph well and almost nobody bothers. The dormer from the garden before and after; the room from the stair head with the light coming in; the bathroom that fits under the slope. Six photos and three paragraphs per project, captioned with the town, the type and the month. It is the page homeowners send each other.
How we build the pagesWhat sits on every loft page
- The type, what it suits, what it does not
- Planning or permitted development, in one paragraph
- The regs: fire, escape, stairs, insulation, structure
- What moves the price and a from-figure if you use one
- Two projects of that type, photographed properly
- The quote form and a number that answers from a roof
Questions builders ask us
Do loft firms need their own kind of website?
The structure is the builder site; the content is not. A loft firm's homeowner has a short list of technical worries, head height, stairs, planning, regs, and the site that answers them in order wins the survey visit. That is different from a general builder's site.
We cover a big area. How do we show that without twenty town pages?
An areas page written the way you know the area, projects captioned with their towns, and a service area on the Google profile. Twenty templated town pages get a site filtered; five real projects in five real towns get it ranked.
Should the site show a price?
A from-figure per type, with what moves it, filters the price-checkers and keeps the serious ones. If you prefer not to, the page explains what decides the price, which does most of the same work.
What about 3D visuals and drawings?
If you produce them, they belong on the project pages next to the finished photos. Homeowners understand a before, a drawing and an after in one row better than any paragraph.
