A large L-shaped dormer loft conversion paired with a top-to-bottom refurbishment and rear extension, including planning permission to build over the annex for an extra music room.

The brief

The owners wanted to get everything out of their Bedminster home (BS3) in one go: a large loft conversion for extra bedroom space, a dedicated room for music, and a full refurbishment of the house below, with more usable room on the ground floor too.

The challenge

This was much more than a loft. To create the music room, we needed planning permission to build over the rear annex, the lower back part of the house, rather than working only within the existing roof. On top of that the whole house was being refurbished and extended at the same time, so every trade had to be sequenced to come together as one finished home.

What we did

We built a large L-shaped dormer across the main roof to create a bright master bedroom under twin rooflights, with a tiled shower room and a landing lit by a big rooflight over the new stairs. With planning permission secured, we extended over the rear annex to add the extra music room. Downstairs we refurbished the whole house top to bottom and added a rear extension, opening up an open-plan kitchen and living space with bi-fold doors onto the garden.

The outcome

A whole-house transformation from a single project, a large loft with a master bedroom and shower room, a dedicated music room over the annex, and a refurbished, extended ground floor built for open-plan family living.

  • We used J Vincent Lofts for a kitchen diner extension on our house in Bedminster and couldn’t be happier with the result. Joe was incredibly helpful right from the start and always quick to reply whenever we messaged him with a question or new requirement. We had Ben on-site every day and he was absolutely fantastic; thorough and a pleasure to have around.Being an old-ish 1930s house we uncovered plenty of surprises along the way, and the team took every one of them in their stride. Notably, Joe researched the groundwork that was needed for our specific area and arranged all of that. When any requirements needed changing on the fly they were always accommodating, and importantly they kept us in the loop about any impact on the budget that had been set out at the start. No task was too big, and every trade they brought in was just as thorough and personable.A genuinely great experience from start to finish, super chuffed with the work they did and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable builders in Bristol.

  • We're very pleased with our kitchen extension that Joe and his team completed in May this year.From the start Joe was accomodating with our plans, working around our schedule and needs which included living at the property durring the works. The design included some custom solutions that the team executed brilliantly and to a high standard.We were recommended Joe by a friend and I will continue to recommend as their work ethic, attention to detail and consideration were exactly what we were hoping for!

  • We couldn’t be happier that we chose Joe and his team to complete the work on our house. We had a double loft extension which involved reconfiguring the first floor. Joe had a solution for everything to make it all possible. His communication was excellent and his team were friendly, considerate and did an exceptional job. The work has been done to such a high standard and we’re so pleased with the result. If you’re thinking about getting work done on your house, Joe is your man!

  • Joe and his team did a great job on our loft conversion and 1st floor renovations. Our conversion came with the added complexity of lowering the first-floor ceilings to create enough space for the loft, but Joe took it all in his stride.Throughout the build, Joe was incredibly accommodating when we asked to include additional work, seemingly unfazed by any request and capable of making it a reality. His budgeting and organisation were excellent from start to finish, which no doubt helped us avoid any issues in what was quite an extensive project!It was a pleasure having Joe and his team in our home, they were respectful, hardworking, and clearly took pride in their work. We love the final result; the space has completely transformed our home.We’re planning to renovate our ground floor in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Joe again. Highly recommended.

  • Great team, high quality build and friendly. Considering the length of the job we were apprehensive to have builders in the house whilst heavily pregnant but the team were friendly and respectful. Very happy with the end result!
