Local Challenges
Loft Conversions in Kingston upon Thames
The varied roof profiles of Kingston's housing stock, from the steep pitches of Victorian homes to the hipped roofs of 1930s properties, present unique structural puzzles. Creating a dormer or hip-to-gable conversion requires careful insertion of steel beams to support the new floor and altered roof. We specialise in designing discreet steelwork that minimises intrusion into the living space, a key consideration for maximising value.
