Types offered: - **Dormer loft conversion** — the most common type; a box-shaped extension to the rear roof slope that maximises headroom and floor space - **Mansard loft conversion** — a near-vertical rear wall that creates the maximum possible room volume; often used on terraced houses in conservation areas - **Hip-to-gable loft conversion** — converts a hipped (sloping) roof end into a vertical gable, used on semi-detached and detached homes to create a large, open loft room Typical uses: master bedroom with en-suite, home office, guest suite, children's bedroom. Typical timeline: 8–14 weeks on site. Planning: many dormer conversions fall under Permitted Development. Mansard conversions in conservation areas require full planning permission.

Types offered: - **Side return extension** — fills the unused alley alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces to create a wider kitchen-diner - **Rear extension** — extends the back of the house; single or double storey; popular for open-plan kitchen-living spaces with bifold or sliding doors to the garden - **Wraparound extension** — combines side return and rear extension for maximum ground-floor space Typical uses: open-plan kitchen-diner, family room, additional living space. Typical timeline: 10–16 weeks on site. Planning: single-storey rear extensions up to 4m (detached) or 3m (semi/terrace) often fall under Permitted Development. Larger extensions require planning permission. URL: https://distinct-spaces.co.uk/home-extensions/ ### Garden Studios Insulated, purpose-built outbuildings at the bottom of the garden. Types offered: - **Garden office** — fully insulated and wired for broadband; a dedicated workspace separate from the house - **Garden gym / wellness studio** — rubber-floored, ventilated space for fitness equipment or yoga - **Garden guest room / annexe** — habitable room with electrics, heating and sometimes plumbing for guests or family Typical uses: home office, gym, studio, art room, music room, guest accommodation.
