How much does a loft conversion cost in Cardiff?

Homeowners in Cardiff usually spend in the region of £22,500–£53,500 on a loft conversion. Welsh building costs are usually below the UK average — South Glamorgan labour and materials are a real factor. Price comes down to conversion type (Velux, dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard), staircase position and structural work and adding an ensuite or extra glazing more than anything else. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.

How long does it take?

Typical Cardiff loft conversions timescales run to about 6–10 weeks on site.

  • Check your head height. You generally need 2.2m at the highest point for a usable conversion.
  • Consider building regs. Fire safety, insulation and stairs must meet regulations.
  • Think about light. Rooflights and dormers dramatically change how the room feels.
