If you’re planning a loft conversion leigh on sea, Fox Conversions can help you make the most of the space you already have. Whether you need a new bedroom, home office or full en-suite master suite, our small Essex team turns unused roofs into bright, practical rooms that add real value to your property.
We’ve worked across SS9 — from seafront terraces near Leigh Broadway to 1930s semis in Chalkwell and Belfairs. Every job is managed personally by me, Chris Fox, so you deal directly with the builder running the project, not a sales rep.
As a trusted loft conversion company serving Leigh on Sea and nearby areas, we take care of everything from design and drawings to building-control approval. You’ll get honest advice on structure, insulation and finish options before we start. Our tidy, respectful approach and fixed-stage payment plan mean no big deposits and no surprises.
We’ve completed every kind of loft conversion leigh on sea homeowners look for — from compact Velux builds to full-width dormers — each designed to suit the property’s shape and character.
Adds full head height across most of the floor; ideal for a master bedroom or en-suite.
Extends a sloping roof into a vertical gable wall, common on bungalows
Velux loft conversions are a fast, cost-effective way to add natural light without changing the roof shape.

At Fox Conversions, we follow a proven step-by-step process to make your loft conversion in Leigh-on-Sea smooth and stress-free:
Most loft projects in Leigh on Sea fall under permitted development and don’t need full planning permission. We confirm this during your survey and handle any drawings or submissions if required. All builds are signed off by building control to meet today’s structural and fire-safety standards.
For insulation, we use high-performance PIR boards and acoustic layers that meet current U-values without stealing head height. The result is a warm, quiet loft space that keeps energy costs down.
Typical loft conversion costs in Leigh on Sea start from £35,000 for a Velux and £45,000–£65,000 for a dormer or hip-to-gable. Quotes are fully itemised, covering labour, materials and building-control fees so you always know where you stand.

Leigh-On-Sea Loft Conversion Case Study
Every loft conversion project we take on in Leigh on Sea is tailored to the home’s structure and the way you live. From compact Velux conversions to full-width dormers, we plan every detail — steels, stairs, insulation and finishes — to create additional living space that’s comfortable, energy efficient and built to last. Our goal is always the same: a clean, well-finished loft that feels like part of the original house.
Most projects fall under permitted development, but we’ll confirm this for you.
Velux – about 6 weeks; dormer or hip-to-gable – 8 to 10 weeks depending on weather and access.
Yes – we design and plumb full en-suites with correct ventilation and pressure testing.
We’re not general builders who turn their hand to lofts. We only do lofts, garages and extensions. That means we know the structures inside out, and you deal directly with me, not a sales rep. We run clean, respectful sites, keep you updated, and take payment in fixed stages — no big upfront deposits.
Rule of thumb: if you can reach up and touch the ridge easily, it may be too low. You generally want around 2.3–2.4m of head height at the ridge. We’ll measure it properly at survey and let you know if you’re in the clear or if a roof lift is needed.
Most of our Leigh clients add a new bedroom and en-suite, but we’ve done home offices overlooking the estuary, kids’ playrooms and even a walk-in wardrobe. It depends what your house needs most.
All conversions need building control approval. That means insulation to current U-values, fire doors and smoke alarms, proper structural steels and joists, safe stair design. We supply full drawings and arrange inspections so you’ve got the paperwork for resale.
Every property is different, but almost every attic has hidden potential. By reconfiguring the structure and layout, we turn unused loft space into practical rooms that flow naturally with the rest of your house. From stairs placement to clever storage, our designs make the most of every inch.
Your roof type is one of the biggest factors in choosing the right conversion. Terraced houses often suit rear dormers, while bungalows benefit from hip-to-gable builds. We work with high-quality roofing materials and leadwork to ensure your new loft is watertight, durable, and blends with the rest of your home.
Adding a loft conversion doesn’t just create more square metres — it changes how you live in your house. Many Leigh-on-Sea families gain a full master suite, freeing up rooms downstairs for growing children or home offices. The result is a home that works better for modern living, without the stress of moving.
Yes – we cover Southend, Billericay, Rayleigh, Brentwood and wider Essex.
