Sompting— Loft Conversions, Extensions & Renovations

Sompting lies just to the east of Worthing, a village that has grown into a substantial residential area while retaining its own identity. The housing is mainly post-war, with a good proportion of semi-detached houses and bungalows — both well suited to loft conversions.

The typical Sompting semi has a conventional pitched roof with reasonable head height, making it a straightforward candidate for a dormer or hip-to-gable conversion. Bungalows in the area can often accommodate a full dormer conversion, effectively adding an entire upper floor with bedrooms, a bathroom, and landing.

Sompting is within the Adur & Worthing Councils planning area. Standard loft conversions usually fall under permitted development, but we always check the specifics — some properties may have had previous extensions that affect their permitted development allowance.

Sompting is just minutes from our base in Worthing, which means we can be on site quickly and keep travel costs to a minimum. We've worked in Sompting regularly over the years and know the housing stock, local building control requirements, and what works well for the area's property types.
