How much does a loft conversion cost in Brighton?

In Brighton, a loft conversion typically costs between £28,500–£69,000, depending on the project. South East costs typically run above the UK average — East Sussex labour and materials are a real factor. The biggest cost drivers are conversion type (Velux, dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard), staircase position and structural work, and adding an ensuite or extra glazing. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.

Figures are a 2025 guide only — your matched installer will give you an accurate, no-obligation quote.

How long does it take?

A loft conversion in Brighton usually takes 6–10 weeks, though planning and material lead times can affect the schedule.

  • Plan the staircase. Access takes space from the floor below — design it in early.
  • Consider building regs. Fire safety, insulation and stairs must meet regulations.
  • Think about light. Rooflights and dormers dramatically change how the room feels.
