2. 2. About Us & Our Philosophy Build Abode was founded with one simple goal: to make building projects in London less stressful and more rewarding for homeowners. Having worked in the construction and architectural design industry for many years, our team saw how often clients were left juggling architects, planners, and builders – each with their own timelines and priorities. We wanted to change that. By bringing every service under one roof, Build Abode ensures clients have a single point of contact throughout their project. This approach saves time, reduces costs, and creates better results. Our philosophy is simple: design with purpose, build with care. Every home is different, so we tailor each project to suit your lifestyle, your budget, and your aspirations.

We are proud to be fully insured with £10 million Employers’ Liability and £5 million Public Liability cover, giving our clients complete peace of mind. Over the years, we’ve been recognised with industry awards and five-star client reviews across platforms such as Houzz and Google. Most importantly, we never forget that we are building more than just properties – we are helping to create homes where families grow, memories are made, and futures are built. 3.

Here’s how it works with Build Abode: 1.Consultation & Concept – We start by listening.

We pride ourselves on clean, safe, and efficient work – always respecting that we are working in your home.

3. 5.Finishing Touches – Flooring, lighting, bespoke carpentry, high-end finishes – we deliver the details that make your project truly complete. 6.Handover & Aftercare – We don’t just walk away at completion.

Loft Conversions in London In a city where every square foot matters, a loft conversion is one of the smartest investments you can make. Build Abode has delivered countless loft projects across London, turning unused attic spaces into bright, practical rooms. We offer all major types of loft conversions: • Dormer Conversions – Adding space with a roof extension that creates full-height walls and plenty of natural light. • Velux/Rooflight Conversions – Cost-effective solutions where skylights are added without major roof alterations. • Hip-to-Gable Conversions – Extending semi-detached or end-of-terrace homes by straightening sloping roofs. • Mansard Conversions – Popular in period properties, especially in central London, maximising headroom with an elegant roof redesign. A loft conversion can become a new bedroom, home office, playroom, or even a luxurious master suite.

Project Spotlights & Case Studies Loft Conversion in West London A family in Hammersmith approached us wanting extra space for their growing teenagers. We designed a spacious dormer loft conversion, complete with two bedrooms and a shared bathroom. By maximising natural light and using bespoke storage solutions, we created a stylish yet practical extension that added significant value to their home.

The cost varies depending on the type of conversion and your property, but most loft projects in London range between £40,000 and £70,000. We provide detailed quotes after your initial consultation. Q2: Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion or extension? Not always. Many loft conversions and single-storey extensions fall under Permitted Development. However, if your property is in a conservation area or you want a larger design, planning permission may be required. Our team will guide you through the process.

We provide a clear project timeline before we start, so you know what to expect. Q4: Can I live in my home during the works? In many cases, yes. For projects like loft conversions or smaller refurbishments, families often remain at home. For larger refurbishments or new builds, we may recommend temporary accommodation. Q5: Do you provide architectural drawings and planning applications? Yes – our in-house team manages all design and planning work, so you don’t need to hire a separate architect.
