Room upstairs, shaped for everyday life.
A quiet place to work, a welcoming bedroom, or room to unwind above the bustle below.
Sweet Homes organises the agreed building work and coordinates the trades, so you don’t have to. We supply and fit the quoted materials and finishes, with you involved in the choices.
We check the stair position and usable headroom to see what’s practical, then build your loft or attic conversion to your architect’s design and engineer’s details.

Illustration of a finished loft conversion, not one of our projects. The project photographs further down show our work in progress. Tell us your general area and how you want to use the loft and anything you know about access or headroom. Plans, measurements and a settled budget can follow. Send your enquiry by form or email. We will reply and arrange a follow-up call to talk through the project. Send your enquiry by form or email. We will reply and arrange a follow-up call to talk through the project. We use your details to reply and handle the service you request. Privacy policy. The stair position can limit what you do with the loft. Structure and roof shape also limit the usable space, so we check both first. An attic conversion is the same job. Project photo: loft room during construction. The available loft photographs show work in progress. Feasibility and the approved design determine the scope. The visible floor area alone does not establish how much usable room can be built. These ranges are planning context. A written quotation follows assessment of the agreed scope. Feasibility and the approved design determine the scope. The visible floor area alone does not establish how much usable room can be built. Headroom in the middle of the roof can make a loft look generous. The stair arrives at an edge, passes through the floor below and needs a workable landing. Structure, escape, insulation and services reduce the area that can be used. We use the initial conversation to establish the intended room, the property type and what professional information already exists. Your architect owns the design. Your structural engineer supplies the structural information. You appoint the building-warrant route and any planning or listed-building advice needed for the proposed roof changes. Sweet Homes remains the construction contractor. Our written scope may include structural floor and roof work, openings and weathering, insulation, stairs, internal services, plastering, joinery and finishes. Electrical and gas work is carried out and certified through the competent trades we appoint. An untested stair position or unfinished structural brief leaves design questions open. The quotation lists the missing information and identifies what still needs to be decided. Sweet Homes builds loft conversions in Edinburgh as contractor from the design, structural information and approvals supplied through the professionals you appoint. Checked first. Built with care. We talk through what you want the room for and how you would reach it. The stair, the headroom and the structure decide what is possible before anything is drawn. Tell us what the loft is for and who will use it. Photographs and rough measurements of the landing and roof space help us judge the stair early. After a phone call to work through your brief, we look at where a stair could land, the usable headroom and the roof structure, with a site visit where useful. Your architect’s design and your engineer’s details set the plan. A building warrant must be granted before work starts. Your written quote sets out the building work and materials included. Before agreeing the timing of the work, we discuss the rooms affected by the stair opening, any rewiring or heating changes, and whether staying in the house is practical. We carry out the structural work, insulation, rooflights or dormer, stair, services, boarding and finishes set out in your written quote. We complete the checks and handover records set out in the project contract. Any certificates for the work come from the subcontractors who carry it out. If the roof will not give the headroom or the stair will not land, we say so early. The same floor area is sometimes easier to find in an extension or a garage conversion. The household may be able to stay while much of the roof work remains separated. The opening for the stair and any rewiring, extensive plumbing or heating changes can alter that quickly. We discuss the affected rooms and essential services before site work. Sweet Homes may recommend a holiday over the disruptive stretch. Temporary arrangements and any daily service promise belong in the particular contract. If the roof will not give the headroom or the stair will not land, the same floor area is sometimes cheaper to find elsewhere. Home extensions build outward from the existing structure, garage conversions reuse a structure that already has walls and a roof, and structural alterations rework the space inside the walls you have. Those are different projects with different approvals, not cheaper versions of this one. Read the budget alongside the structural work, stair, insulation, services and finishes it covers. A well-described quote makes those choices clear, so you can compare what each price includes. Indicative budget. £30,000–£108,000+ including VAT for loft conversion work in Edinburgh. This is a broad guide, not a quotation or a price promise for a particular conversion type or feature. Feasibility and the approved design determine the scope. The visible floor area alone does not establish how much usable room can be built. A written quotation follows assessment of the property, approved design and agreed scope. Indicative budgets are £30,000–£108,000+ including VAT. This is a broad guide, not a quotation or a price promise for any particular feature or design. The final price depends on the measured property, existing conditions, agreed scope and selected specification. A written quotation follows assessment of those details. Stage, timing and budget are optional for your first enquiry. A feasible stair and a defined design come before a reliable construction price. These general guides explain approvals and the wider scope behind a quotation. We supply and fit every job. We do not offer labour-only work and we do not offer fit-only work, because one firm owning both the materials and the workmanship gives you one clear line of responsibility. The whole sequence, from first call to handover, is set out on how we work. How much does a loft conversion cost in Edinburgh? Indicative budgets are £30,000–£108,000+ including VAT. The range is a broad guide, not a quotation for a particular conversion type or feature. Feasibility, approved design and the agreed scope determine the written quotation. Is my loft tall enough to convert? Headroom in the middle of the roof can make a loft look more generous than it is. Structure, escape, insulation and services all reduce the area you can actually use, so the usable room is smaller than the floor you can see. That is measured against the property rather than estimated from a photograph. Where does the staircase go? That question comes before pricing the room, not after it. The stair arrives at an edge of the loft, passes through the floor below and needs a workable landing. An untested stair position leaves the design open, and the quotation lists what still needs to be decided. Does a loft conversion need a building warrant? A loft conversion normally needs a building warrant, and roof changes may raise planning or listed-building questions as well. You appoint the building-warrant route and any planning or listed-building advice the proposed roof changes need. Your architect owns the design and your structural engineer supplies the structural information; Sweet Homes builds from what they produce. How soon can the work start? For major projects, allow at least four weeks from your first enquiry. Tell us what you need and when. That period covers the call, the survey, the written quotation, your decision and the ordering that has to happen before trades arrive. If something needs attention sooner than that, say so on the call and we will point you to the right emergency trade for the immediate problem while the planned work is scheduled properly. What happens after we enquire? Send your enquiry by form or email. We will reply and arrange a follow-up call to talk through the project. Any site visit is arranged afterwards, where useful. Why do you not offer labour-only work, or fit materials we buy ourselves? No. We supply and fit every job, whatever its size. We do not offer labour-only work and we do not offer fit-only work. When one firm buys the materials and carries out the work, you have one clear line of responsibility if something goes wrong, rather than an argument between the product and the fitting. If you have already chosen products, send the product codes and we will buy those exact items and include them in the quotation. Project responsibility Brunon oversees project programmes across Edinburgh and is typically available by phone or email. The staff assigned to your job handle the day-to-day site work independently within the agreed scope, with the responsible contact confirmed before work starts.Tell us about your loft
