Loft Conversions & Dormers in Headingley by BMK Joinery & Building

Headingley is an inner-north-west Leeds suburb, close to the city centre and easy for us to reach. We provide loft conversions & dormers for homeowners in Headingley (LS6) and nearby Adel, Pudsey and Horsforth.

In Headingley, Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis often have roof pitches that suit a dormer or hip to gable conversion. We deal with structure, insulation, stairs and fire safety as one package so the new room feels like part of the house.

A dormer or loft conversion adds real floor area and headroom without using any of your garden. We build timber-framed dormers, form the structural openings, fit insulation, roof windows and cladding, and leave the space ready for plastering and decoration.

  • Flat-roof and gable dormers
  • Timber frame, insulation and weatherproofing
  • Slate-effect, tile and zinc cladding
  • Roof windows and window installation
  • Structural steelwork and floor strengthening
  • Staircases and access to the new room
Local knowledge

Building and joinery in Headingley

You will see Victorian terraces, back-to-backs, large red-brick and stone villas, and a mix of family homes, rented houses and student lets. Typical work includes loft conversions, rear extensions, kitchens, windows, doors, roofs and fitted joinery.

On terraces, roof volume allowances can be used up quickly and front dormers are rarely permitted development, so a planning application to Leeds City Council may be needed. Building Regulations approval is always required for structure, stairs and fire escape.

Headingley is covered by Leeds City Council. Parts of the area are conservation area, and there are local controls around houses in multiple occupation, so it is worth checking whether anything applies to your street before applying for changes.
