Worthing— Loft Conversions, Extensions & Renovations

Worthing is where Samuels Loft Conversions started, and where we've been based for over 70 years. We know the town's housing stock inside out — from the Victorian terraces of Heene and Montague Street to the 1930s semis along Tarring Road and the post-war estates of West Durrington.

Worthing's mix of property styles means loft conversions come in many forms. Victorian and Edwardian terraces typically suit rear dormer conversions, adding a full-height bedroom and en-suite without altering the street-facing roofline. Semi-detached properties from the inter-war period often benefit from hip-to-gable conversions, squaring off the sloping roof to maximise usable floor space. Bungalows — which Worthing has plenty of — can be transformed with a mansard or dormer conversion that essentially adds an entire new floor.

Planning in Worthing is handled by Adur & Worthing Councils. Most standard loft conversions fall under permitted development rights, meaning no formal planning application is needed. However, properties in conservation areas (such as parts of the seafront and town centre) or those that have already been extended may require full planning permission. We check this at the outset and handle all applications.

As a Worthing-based business, we source materials through D.J. Redman, one of the South's leading builders' merchants — also based in Worthing. This keeps material costs competitive and deliveries efficient. Our team lives and works locally, so we treat every project as if it were in our own neighbourhood.
