Your Local Loft Conversion
Specialists in Brentwood
Buildaway converts lofts across Brentwood and the CM13 streets, working on the substantial detached houses, Edwardian villas, and large commuter-belt properties around Shenfield on High Street and Ongar Road, and on the larger roofs toward Weald Country Park.
Scaffolding, steel lead times and building control inspections all sit inside a Brentwood loft programme and are shown separately, so the eight to twelve week figure quoted for a CM13 dormer is a real one rather than build time only. Recent loft conversions in Brentwood have taken in High Street, Shenfield Road and the streets around Brentwood Cathedral, all within the CM13 coverage area.
Homeowners across Brentwood choose Buildaway for lofts that add real, usable space. Our workmanship, clear pricing, and coordinated management mean a CM13 conversion delivered on programme and signed off to full building control standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about loft conversions in Brentwood, answered.
Can I have an ensuite in the loft?
Usually yes, provided the waste can reach the existing stack and the floor structure allows it. Buildaway checks the stack route in the Brentwood property before the layout is fixed, because it often decides where the bathroom can sit.
What insulation and regulations apply?
A habitable loft must meet current thermal, fire escape and structural standards. Buildaway handles the building control application and inspections for CM13 conversions so the finished room is signed off and saleable.
How much headroom do I need for a loft conversion?
As a working rule you want around 2.4 metres from the top of the ceiling joist to the underside of the ridge before adding a dormer. Below roughly 2.2 metres the options narrow considerably. Buildaway measures on the first visit and tells you straight away which category your Brentwood roof falls into.
Will I need planning permission in Brentwood?
Many rear dormers fall under permitted development, but properties inside Brentwood Town Centre Conservation Area and Metropolitan Green Belt boundaries are treated differently and may need a full application. Buildaway confirms the designation with Brentwood Borough Council before design work begins.
Where will the staircase go?
Usually over the existing stair to keep the landing usable, but the position depends on where headroom exists at the top. This is the constraint that most often reshapes a CM13 loft design, so Buildaway resolves the stair before drawing the room layout.
