Why Choose Us?
How Our Professional Loft Conversion Process Works
Our process begins with an initial site survey to assess the structural feasibility of your roof space. We evaluate vital factors like headroom clearance, floor joist requirements, and the best placement for your new staircase to ensure a natural flow within the existing property layout. Once the design is finalised, our experienced team manages every aspect of the project, from the initial structural alterations and RSJ installation to thermal insulation and interior finishing.
We specialise in a range of loft styles to suit your specific property type, including Velux conversions, rear dormers, and complex hip-to-gable or mansard builds. Throughout the construction phase, we maintain a clean and respectful work environment, keeping you informed at every stage. Our goal is to make your renovation as smooth and unobtrusive as possible while maintaining the highest industry standards.

Who We Are
The Benefits of Choosing Aline Construction
Choosing a local specialist means you benefit from our intimate knowledge of the housing stock in Totton and the surrounding Hampshire villages. From the classic 1950s semi-detached homes in Testwood to the more modern properties in Hounsdown, we have the technical expertise to handle any architectural challenge. We hold NVQ Level 2 qualifications in bricklaying and possess Blue Skilled Worker CSCS cards, ensuring that your structural build is in the safest possible hands.
Furthermore, we provide full public liability insurance to give you complete peace of mind. We take pride in our 'clean site' policy and our commitment to using high-quality materials that ensure your new loft is energy-efficient, well-ventilated, and built to stand the test of time.
A loft conversion is a significant structural project that must adhere strictly to current UK Building Regulations, covering fire safety, thermal efficiency, and structural stability. We take the stress out of the red tape by managing the interaction with building control on your behalf. Whether your property falls under the jurisdiction of New Forest District Council or requires consultation regarding Party Wall Agreements with your neighbours, our team acts as your expert guide throughout the process.
We ensure all structural work, including the installation of load-bearing steel beams (RSJs), is fully compliant with the latest safety standards. By handling the planning permission advice and regulatory compliance from the outset, we ensure your conversion is not only beautiful but also safe, legal, and ready for you to enjoy as soon as the project is complete.

Do I need planning permission? Many loft conversions fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning you may not need full planning permission. However, this depends on your property type and conservation area status, which we will confirm during our initial consultation. How much does a conversion cost? Prices typically range from £25,000 to £60,000+ depending on the complexity of the design, structural requirements, and interior fit-out specifications. How long does the build take? A standard conversion usually takes between 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the scale of the structural work required. Is my home suitable? Most 1950s and modern semi-detached properties in Totton are excellent candidates for a conversion, provided there is enough internal roof height to create a habitable living space.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Loft Conversions in Totton Questions
Answers to common questions about our Loft Conversions in Totton
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Totton?
In many cases, no. Most houses in Totton have Permitted Development rights that allow for loft conversions without a full planning application. However, there are limits on the volume of space you can add (usually 40 to 50 cubic metres). If your house is in a conservation area or you want to go beyond these limits, we can help you navigate the application process with the local council.
How long does the building work take?
A typical conversion takes between 6 and 10 weeks depending on the complexity. A simple Velux conversion is usually faster, while a full Hip-to-Gable or wrap-around conversion takes a bit longer. We provide a clear schedule before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
Will a loft conversion work in my house?
The main thing we look for is the "head height." You generally need at least 2.2 metres from the top of the existing ceiling joists to the bottom of the ridge timber. If your roof is lower than this, we can sometimes still make it work by thinning the floor or, in more extreme cases, lowering the ceilings of the rooms below.
Is it very messy to have this work done?
We try to do as much work as possible from the outside. For the first few weeks, our team will usually access the loft via scaffolding, meaning we aren't walking through your house with materials. It is only when we install the new staircase that we need to open up the house, and we make sure to use dust sheets and clean up daily.
