Your Local Loft Conversion
Specialists in East Dulwich
Looking for loft conversion specialists in East Dulwich (SE22)? Buildaway converts
lofts across SE22 - the Victorian terraces off Lordship Lane, North Cross Road and
Barry Road, the homes around Goose Green and Dulwich Library, and the streets toward
Peckham Rye, Bellenden and East Dulwich station.
East Dulwich loft specialists know the Victorian roof profile, and Buildaway
confirms headroom, structure and stair position before design is fixed. In SE22 the
classic L-shaped rear addition offers real space, but only if the stair can land
without destroying the floor below. Buildaway's East Dulwich loft team resolves that
on paper first, then handles party-wall awards, steels, dormer, insulation, glazing
and the finished rooms.

What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from our satisfied customers.
“The quality of the work, their high standards, and their professionalism, along with effective and proactive communication made a refreshing change from the builders I have used in the past. Even when we changed our minds and ideas during the job Cormac’s patience and support emphasised that he wanted to make sure that the finished product was exactly what we wanted…”
Michael Marks
“I was recommended Buildaway by a colleague as I was impressed by the work they had done for my colleague. From the moment I contacted Cormac, I knew I was in good hands. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating right from the start. The very next day, he was at my property, taking measurements and discussing design options. What really impressed me was Cormac's honesty…”
Nana A.
“They were also very professional day to day - always tidy, and cleaned up really thoroughly when taking away all rubbish at the end. They stuck to the agreed timelines, and pricing was transparent throughout, with clear communication on any issues as they arose. Overall, I’m really pleased with the result and felt I could trust them throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them…”
Sean Kelleher
“From my first contact with Cormac, I was in good hands. His team turned my vision into reality, communicating with me every step of the way and offered helpful suggestions which turned my bathroom into an oasis. I could not be happier and would highly recommend their services. Thank you to the team of Buildaway Construction Ltd…”
Jackie Brown
“We’ve had a genuinely fantastic experience with Buildaway. Cormac was ultra responsive and excellent at communicating with us throughout our project. The quality of the work was excellent - so much so, that we extended our project by adding a range of other building renovations to our original ask, each completed with care and precision…”
Kiran Collier
“It was an absolute pleasure working with Cormac and the Buildaway team. Greg is an absolute star. Cormac’s communication and advice was excellent, and the organisation and sourcing of additional materials was brilliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about loft conversions in East Dulwich, answered.
How much does a loft conversion cost in East Dulwich?
Most East Dulwich loft conversions land between £26,000–£36,000+ and £37,000–£55,000+, with the larger mansard schemes around Lordship Lane and Goose Green reaching £51,000–£65,000++. Hidden costs catch people out - party-wall awards, structural engineering and scaffolding are real line items, not extras. Buildaway includes them in the quote rather than after it.
How long does a loft conversion take in East Dulwich?
Six to ten weeks is realistic for East Dulwich, depending on scheme. The build is predictable; the approvals are what vary. Buildaway handles party-wall, Building Control and Southwark Council consent in parallel with design so the SE22 programme holds.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in East Dulwich?
It depends on your SE22 property. Permitted development covers a good number of East Dulwich rear dormers, but conservation areas around Lordship Lane and Goose Green and listed buildings need full Southwark Council consent - and flats have no permitted development rights at all. Buildaway confirms what is achievable first, so we do not design a scheme that gets refused.
What types of loft conversion do you offer in East Dulwich?
Rooflight, dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard - Buildaway builds all four in East Dulwich. The right answer for your SE22 roof depends on ridge height, the stair, and what Southwark Council will consent. We establish that before proposing a design.
Do Buildaway handle both design and construction for East Dulwich lofts?
Both, on one contract. For East Dulwich clients Buildaway handles the drawings, the structural engineering, the consents and the build itself. That matters on SE22 lofts more than most jobs, because the design and the structure are the same conversation.
Are your loft specialists local to East Dulwich?
Yes. Buildaway works across East Dulwich and the surrounding SE22 streets regularly, so we know the roof profiles around Lordship Lane and Goose Green and what Southwark Council has accepted nearby. That precedent matters: knowing what got consented on the next street is often the difference between approval and refusal.
