Greenbank projects start from £50,000 depending on structure, staircase position and finish level. We respond within 48 hours to book a free site visit before any figure is given. Local knowledge ## Loft Conversions in Bramhall — what the housing stock demands. Bramhall sits in the SK7 postcode, and the majority of the housing we survey here was built between 1930 and 1975 — hipped roofs, purlin-and-strut structures and lofts with enough ridge height to work with. That is a genuinely good starting point: many of these roofs can take a full dormer without needing to raise the ridge, which keeps both cost and planning risk down. ### Typical Bramhall projects - 1930s hipped semis around Bramhall Lane South — hip-to-gable plus rear dormer is the usual route to a double bedroom and en-suite. - Detached post-war homes off Ack Lane — often enough footprint for two rooms and a bathroom in the roof. - Newer estate housing near Bramhall Park — shallower trussed roofs, which need a structural redesign rather than a simple conversion. - Bungalows around Kitts Moss — dormer conversions here transform the usable floor area more than any other project type. ### Planning & Building Regulations Most Bramhall rear dormer conversions fall under permitted development, subject to volume allowance and no work forward of the front roof plane. Building Regulations approval is always required. We handle the applications, structural calculations and Building Control sign-off as part of the job. Costs & timescales ## Honest guide prices for Bramhall. These are guide ranges, not quotes. Every Greenbank price follows a proper site survey — we respond within 48 hours to book yours. ### Velux / roof-light conversion from £50,000 No structural roof alteration, staircase and full fit-out included. ### Rear dormer conversion £60,000–£85,000 Typical Bramhall semi with bedroom and en-suite. ### Hip-to-gable + rear dormer £75,000–£110,000 Largest gain in usable floor area on a hipped roof. 8–12 weeks on site for a typical Bramhall dormer conversion, plus 4–8 weeks beforehand for design, structural drawings and approvals. How we build it ## The detail that decides whether it lasts. 01 ### Structure comes first, not last Bramhall roofs of this era were built for storage, not habitation. Every conversion we price includes a structural engineer's design for new floor joists spanning onto load-bearing walls, steel beams where the spans demand them, and a properly supported ridge. We would rather tell you a roof needs more steel than sell you a cheap number and find out on week three. 02 ### The staircase decides the layout On a standard Bramhall semi, the landing rarely has space for a compliant staircase without borrowing from the rear bedroom. We survey the head-height line at design stage and show you the options honestly — including where a conversion would cost you a usable bedroom below rather than gain you one above. 03 ### Insulation and overheating A south-facing Bramhall dormer with poor detailing becomes unusable in July. We build to current Building Regulations for thermal performance, but also specify ventilation, glazing position and shading properly, because a room you cannot sleep in has not added value.
