We’re not a nationwide chain or a big faceless firm. Fox Conversions is a small, family-run company based in Essex. Every project is personally overseen by Chris and his experienced team, so you’ll always know who’s working in your home.
For many Rayleigh homeowners, moving house is expensive and disruptive. A loft extension offers a smarter alternative, creating additional living space without sacrificing your garden or leaving the town you love.
Here are some of the biggest benefits:
Extra space tailored to you – whether it’s a new master suite, a guest room, or a quiet study.
Boosted property value – estate agents in Rayleigh know well-designed lofts can increase house prices by up to 20%.
Preserve your garden – unlike ground-floor extensions, you keep your outdoor space intact.
Designed for Rayleigh property styles – from 1930s semis to bungalows, we design conversions that work with the existing roof structure and style of your home.
Cost-effective – a loft conversion often works out cheaper than moving, with the added bonus of staying in the area.
Choosing Fox Conversions means your entire construction process is handled by one team from start to finish.
Free Survey & Design Consultation
We visit your home, listen to your ideas, and provide professional advice. We’ll show you different loft conversion ideas and guide you on what’s achievable with your property.
Architectural Design & Planning
We prepare detailed drawings, structural calculations, and building regulation submissions. Most loft conversions in Rayleigh fall under permitted development, but if planning permission is needed, we’ll handle it.
Construction & Build
Our skilled builders and master tradesmen manage the full build: steelwork, insulation, stairs, electrics, plumbing, plastering, and finishing touches. We keep disruption to a minimum and keep you updated throughout.
Finishing Touches & Handover
Once complete, your new loft is ready to move straight in. From doors to lighting, we ensure every detail is finished to the highest standard.
Not every attic is the same, and neither is every conversion. We offer a wide range of loft conversion ideas, including:
Dormer Loft Conversions: Adds a box-shaped extension to your roof, creating full-height walls and much more usable floor space. Popular with families needing an extra bedroom with en-suite.
Hip to Gable Loft Conversions:Extends the sloping side of your roof into a vertical wall. Ideal for semi-detached or detached houses in Rayleigh, creating a more spacious layout upstairs.
Mansard Loft Conversions: The most dramatic change, altering your roof shape to maximise internal space. Mansard conversions are common in towns with character homes, offering a striking finish.
Velux (Rooflight) Conversions: Uses Velux roof windows within your existing roof slope. The most cost-effective option, perfect if you have enough head height and just want to bring light into your attic.
Not sure what’s possible? We’ll provide honest advice after a quick look at your home.

Every project is unique, but here are a few things to think about:
The aspect of your loft staircase – how it fits with your existing floorplan.
Head height and roof pitch – do you have enough space for the type of conversion you want?
Heating, insulation, and lighting – we’ll make sure your new loft is as comfortable as the rest of your home.
Budget and timeline – we’ll give you clear stage costs and realistic timings upfront.
While Rayleigh is a key area for us, we also provide loft conversions, garage conversions, and home refurbishments across Essex. We regularly work in Brentwood, Billericay, Southend, Leigh-on-Sea, and surrounding towns.
Our reputation has also brought enquiries from outside Essex, with clients in Kent & London.
We’ve transformed many homes in nearby towns such as Leigh-on-Sea, Billericay, and Southend. These properties share the same styles found throughout Rayleigh — from 1930s semis to modern bungalows — so our experience transfers directly to local homes.
Every project we take on is different, but the approach is always the same: a bespoke design, careful planning, and a high-quality finish that adds both space and value. Our clients often say one of their favourite parts of the journey is watching the progress unfold — from the first steels being installed through to plastering, decorating, and finally stepping into a brand-new loft room ready to use.
If you’re based in Rayleigh and considering a loft conversion, we’d love to bring that same expertise and personal service to your home.
Prices vary depending on the type of conversion and your home’s structure. A simple Velux loft conversion can start from around £25,000, while larger dormer loft conversions or mansard loft conversions can range from £40,000–£55,000+. We’ll give you a detailed, fixed quote after your free survey.
Most loft conversions fall under permitted development, but if you live in a conservation area or plan major changes to your roof shape, permission may be required. We’ll advise you during the build and handle applications if needed.
On average, a loft conversion in Rayleigh takes 6–8 weeks, depending on complexity. A simple Velux may be faster, while a larger mansard loft conversion can take longer.
Not every attic is suitable, but most are. Factors include head height, roof pitch, and existing roof structure. During your free survey, we’ll confirm what’s possible.
Most Rayleigh homeowners create an extra bedroom, a home office, or a playroom. Beyond space, you’ll also gain peace of mind knowing your property value and lifestyle are both improved.
