Loft Conversions

A loft conversion is one of the most cost-effective ways to add genuine living space to your home without losing any garden. You get an extra bedroom, a home office, a bathroom — or all three — without moving house. In Worthing and across West Sussex, where property prices mean moving up is expensive, making the most of what you already have just makes sense. We handle four main types of loft conversion. A dormer conversion adds a box-shaped extension to the roof slope, giving you full-height headroom and plenty of floor space — it's by far the most popular choice. A hip-to-gable conversion extends the sloping hip end of the roof out to a vertical gable, ideal for semi-detached and detached properties in areas like Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley and Broadwater. A mansard conversion creates a near-vertical rear roof with a flat top, maximising every square metre. And a Velux (rooflight) conversion is the most straightforward option when headroom is already adequate — roof windows are fitted without altering the roof line, often without planning permission. Our process starts with a site visit. We measure up, assess the structure, and walk you through what's possible for your specific property. We then handle architectural drawings, planning applications and building regulations submissions — there's no need to appoint a separate architect or agent. Once approved, our own team carries out the structural steelwork, carpentry, insulation, plumbing and NICEIC-certified electrics. We source materials through D.J. Redman, one of the South's leading builders' merchants based right here in Worthing, which keeps material costs competitive. Samuels has been doing this in Worthing and the surrounding areas of West Sussex for over 70 years. That means we know local planning officers, we understand the building stock, and we've earned a reputation that is built on word of mouth. Most of our work comes from recommendations — and that's the way we like it.
