HHS Building Services carry out loft conversions across Chichester and the wider South of England, adding bedrooms and bathrooms without losing an inch of garden. Delivered to timelines and budget. 9.9/10 on Checkatrade.
A loft conversion is often the most cost-effective way to add a bedroom, bathroom or home office to a property. HHS Building Services have completed dormer and Velux conversions across Chichester, Bognor Regis, Portsmouth and the wider area.
The team handles every element of the build: structural work, joisting, insulation, roofing, Velux or dormer windows, staircase, boarding, plasterwork, electrics and final decoration. Trusted plumbers are brought in where an en-suite or bathroom is part of the conversion.
Loft conversions in most semi-detached and detached homes fall within permitted development and don't require planning permission. Charlie will advise on this during the free site visit and confirm what building regulations sign-off will be required.
The best option depends on your roof type, head height, and what you want to use the space for. Charlie will assess all of this on the free site visit.
The simplest and most affordable type. Velux windows are fitted into the existing roof slope, letting in light without altering the roofline. Works best where there is already good head height.
A flat-roofed box is added to the rear of the roof, significantly increasing both headroom and floor space. The most popular choice for adding a proper bedroom and en-suite.
The sloping hip end of a roof is replaced with a vertical gable wall, creating a much larger and squarer loft space. Often combined with a rear dormer.
The most extensive type, altering both roof slopes to near-vertical and creating maximum space. Usually requires planning permission but delivers the largest possible conversion.

Verified Checkatrade reviews from homeowners who have had loft conversions completed by HHS.
"Charlie and his small team have delivered everything we asked for with this loft conversion, to the timelines and budget stated and to a very high standard. We changed the requirements during the project to comply with building regulations, Charlie took these in his stride and delivered without fuss."
"This was a major project of a cottage in a Conservation Area. Charlie and his team had to completely change the interior including re-locating the staircase, new bathrooms and new windows. I cannot praise Charlie and his team enough. Everything was done extremely well, on time and within the price agreed."
"We had a leaking bay window roof that required leadwork flashings to be replaced, sealed and all surrounding brickwork repointed. It all now looks better than new. Hasn't leaked since. Very impressed with their work."
