Loft Conversion Wigan

Loft Conversion

A loft conversion is the quickest way to add a proper room to your home without losing any garden. North West Home Renovations has been converting lofts across Wigan and the North West since 1995, turning unused roof space into master bedrooms, en suites, home offices and family rooms for homeowners in Wigan, Standish, Leigh, Bolton, St Helens, Chorley and the surrounding towns.

We handle the whole conversion in-house: the design, the structural calculations, planning and building regulations, the steelwork and staircase, the insulation, the plumbing and electrics, and the plastering and decorating at the end. One team from the first survey to the final handover, with a Fair Trading contract and our Peace of Mind Guarantee on every job.

What Does a Loft Conversion Cost in Wigan and the North West?

The honest answer is that it depends on the type of conversion, the condition of your roof and what you want the room to be. The figures below are a guide to typical 2026 projects we complete across Wigan and the North West, and every quote we give is itemised to your house.

Type of loft conversion Best suited to Guide price (2026)
Rooflight (Velux) conversion Lofts that already have enough head height. Windows go into the existing roof slope, so no change to the shape of the roof. £20,000 to £35,000
Dormer conversion The most common type in Wigan. A box extension on the rear roof slope adds head height and floor space, usually under permitted development. £35,000 to £55,000
Hip to gable conversion Semi-detached and detached homes with a sloping side roof. The hip is built up into a vertical gable, often combined with a rear dormer. £45,000 to £65,000
Mansard conversion Maximum space, with the roof slope rebuilt at a steep angle. Usually needs planning permission. £55,000 to £80,000+

As a rule of thumb, a dormer loft conversion with a bedroom and en suite on a typical Wigan semi usually lands between £40,000 and £50,000 all in, including the staircase, building regulations and decorating.

What changes the price

  • Adding an en suite. Plumbing, a shower, tiling and an extractor typically add £5,000 to £9,000 depending on the specification.
  • Structural work. Steel beams, strengthening the floor joists and the staircase position all affect cost. Older terraces in Wigan often need more structural work than 1960s and 1970s semis.
  • Roof condition. If the existing roof covering or timbers need replacing, that is added to the job. We check this at the survey so there are no surprises later.
  • Planning versus permitted development. Most rear dormers fall under permitted development. Front dormers, mansards and conversions on some newer estates need a planning application, which adds time and fees.
  • Finish and fittings. Built-in wardrobes, underfloor heating, bespoke joinery and higher specification bathrooms all move the figure up.

Whatever the final number, it is set out line by line in your quote with no hidden costs, and backed by a Fair Trading contract. If you would like to spread the cost, our finance options let you split the project into monthly payments. Many of our loft customers combine the conversion with other work while the team is on site, such as a new bathroom on the floor below or a house extension at the back.
