Box dormer with internal en-suite on our 1970s detached in Lewes. Turned dead attic into a master suite with en-suite, two Velux rooflights and built-in eaves storage. Came in ยฃ3540 under quote thanks to a simpler steel option. Two-stage party wall award all completed before any digging started.

Used BestBuilders to find a loft specialist near Lewes - highest-priced quote actually had the cheapest spec - the breakdown told the story. Re-routed the existing soil stack inside a vertical chase to keep the elevation clean. Cash-flow staged in 6 milestones rather than just two big bites. Final bill ยฃ44520. Loft access ladder removed - the new staircase is the proper finishing touch.
