Cheadle Cheadle · Stockport & Cheshire # Loft Conversions in Cheadle Our office is on Altrincham Road in Gatley, so Cheadle is genuinely our doorstep. We know the roof structures, the Stockport Building Control process and the streets where a dormer will and will not get through planning. [Book a Free Site Visit](/contact) [07360 269988](tel:+447360269988) In short Cheadle loft conversions are typically rear dormer conversions on 1930s semis and hip-to-gable conversions on detached homes, taking 8–12 weeks on site. Greenbank projects start from £50,000. Because we are based in Gatley, site visits in Cheadle are usually available same week. Local knowledge ## Loft Conversions in Cheadle — what the housing stock demands. Cheadle, Gatley and Cheadle Hulme sit across SK8, and the housing is dominated by inter-war semis and post-war detached homes with generous, conventional cut roofs. These are among the most straightforward properties in Greater Manchester to convert — which also means there is a lot of poor work in the area from firms that treated it as a quick job. ### Typical Cheadle projects - 1930s semis around Cheadle village and Gatley — rear dormer with bedroom and en-suite is the standard project. - Larger detached homes in Cheadle Hulme — hip-to-gable conversions delivering two rooms plus bathroom. - Post-war terraces near Cheadle Heath — narrower plans where staircase position dictates whether the conversion works at all. - 1970s and 1980s estate housing — trussed roofs needing full structural redesign. ### Planning & Building Regulations Cheadle falls under Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council. Most rear dormers here are permitted development within the volume allowance, and Building Regulations approval is always required. We deal with Stockport Building Control regularly and manage the whole submission. Costs & timescales ## Honest guide prices for Cheadle. 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 Suitable where existing head height is already sufficient. ### Rear dormer conversion £58,000–£80,000 Standard Cheadle semi, bedroom plus en-suite. ### Hip-to-gable + dormer £72,000–£105,000 Detached and end-of-terrace properties. 8–12 weeks on site, with 4–8 weeks beforehand for drawings, structural calculations and approvals. How we build it ## The detail that decides whether it lasts. 01 ### Being five minutes away changes the job Our base is in Gatley. On Cheadle projects that means Lewis can be on site the same morning if something needs a decision, deliveries are easier to control, and the team is not losing an hour each end of the day in traffic. It is a practical advantage rather than a marketing line. 02 ### Head height is the first thing we measure A Cheadle semi needs roughly 2.4 metres from the existing ceiling joist to the ridge for a conversion to work without altering the roof structure. We measure that at the first visit and tell you straight away if the honest answer is a dormer, a full roof alteration, or that a rear extension would give you better space for the money. 03 ### Fire safety and escape routes Converting a loft creates a three-storey house under Building Regulations, which triggers requirements for a protected stairwell, fire doors and mains-linked alarms. These are costed in from the start on every Greenbank quote — they are not an extra that appears once Building Control visits. FAQ ## Loft Conversions in Cheadle — your questions.
