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.

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.
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.

EXCELLENT Based on 42 reviews Sumon Miah2025-06-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant work, would definitely use again and be recommending too Beth Jones2025-05-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Joe and the team to completely change 2 rooms in our home. Joe came round to look, and instantly gave us lots of ideas for the rooms, and when we got closer to the work commencing sat down with us to pick all the final designs and fittings. We had the bathroom changed into a utility, and a spare bedroom changed into the bathroom, so a pretty big job which involved ripping out all the old to create a blank canvas for the new. Whilst they were doing the work, we also had them take out the boiler and install a new one in a new place in the house, as well as plaster some walls in rooms we were decorating and install spotlights in the hallway. No work was too much for the team, and Joe was only a message away. He answered any questions I had, regardless of the time of day or weekend. Honestly can’t thank them enough, they did such a great job on the rooms! I’ve attached before and after pictures to show the final results!

NW Reno recently completed a substantial domestic renovation for me, involving back-to-brick re-plastering, re-wiring and re-plumbing of kitchen, living room, and hallways, plus some damp remediation, and installation of new internal & external doors, windows sills, loft hatch, and underfloor heating. The job took longer than expected due to some unforeseen circumstances but Joe was readily contactable throughout and the works were completed to a good standard. Overall we are very happy with the service provided by NW Reno and would recommend them to others. Harvey Ball2025-05-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
