Hip-to-gable with rear dormer and a new clay roof
Hipped roof turned into a full gable, rear dormer, en-suite, and the whole roof re-covered in clay tiles while the scaffold was up. The roof on its own was about Β£8,000 of that.

Five questions, a realistic range in under a minute. Built from real Fox Conversions jobs across Essex, no email address needed.
Not sure? Pick the closest, I'll confirm at survey.
Stand in the middle of the loft, under the ridge. This decides whether a conversion works at all.
Look from the street. Most 1930s Essex semis are hipped, sloping on all four sides.
Plumbing and a shower room add cost, and add a lot to the room.
The workmanship is the same on every job. This is about what's in scope.
Size drives most of the cost.
Plumbing is the biggest variable in a garage conversion.
That's a range, not a quote. Your house decides where in it you land, and I'd rather see it than guess. Send me the details and I'll reply with a breakdown and a nearby job at a similar price.
Opens WhatsApp with your answers filled in. I reply myself, usually the same evening.

A straightforward dormer on a semi. A Billericay bungalow with the same spec comes in closer to Β£70,000 because the floor area is bigger and the steels are longer.
