Loft conversions in Shefford, Bedford & across Bedfordshire

A loft conversion is one of the most effective ways to add an extra room to a property without changing its footprint. Here at R&J Building Services we have been carrying out loft conversions in Shefford, Bedford and throughout Bedfordshire for over 40 years, helping homeowners turn unused roof space into bedrooms, offices and additional living areas.

Loft conversions involve:

  • Structural work
  • Insulation
  • Staircases
  • Electrics
  • Finishing

Which our team handles directly rather than bringing in subcontractors for each stage. Led by Jon Fish, our tradespeople cover:

  • Carpentry
  • Plumbing
  • Electrics
  • Plastering

All as part of the same team, meaning the whole conversion is managed and carried out consistently from start to finish. Roof space brings its own challenges, such as head height, access and how a new staircase will fit into the existing layout of the house, these all need to be thought through properly before work begins rather than adjusted as the job goes along. We can also organise the planning side of things on your behalf, including any building control requirements specific to converting a loft, so you're not left trying to work out what applies to your property on your own.
