Extending into the Roof Area

If you are limited to space to extend out, it may be worth considering extending up. There are many possibilites to extend your home without increasing the footprint of the house.


Creating Rooms in the Roof
An increasingly popular method of extending your home, engaging us to convert your roof space will involve your builder removing your existing roof.

We will then install a new Attic Roof. This is a very popular method of converting roofs which cannot be converted (probably lower than 2.4m). The benefits of this system include

  • your roof is restructured, adding life
  • your roof space is bought in-line with modern building regulations
  • you add another floor to your home
  • you add value to the home
  • you can create large, open spaces and have complete design flexibility (planning allowing!)


Adding a Floor
Specifically popular for bungalows, we have quickly become experts in converting existing bungalows into larger two (or even three) storey homes.

Roof Extension Conversion

The benefits of doing this include

  • fast conversion
  • modernises the structure, bringing it in-line with modern building regulations
  • add one of two extra floors to your home
  • you add significant value to the home
  • you can create large, open spaces and have design flexibility (planning allowing!)


Creating extra floors can be just as applicable to bungalows, flats or homes...however you plan to extend your building upwards, SimplySelf-Build can help.
