Loft Conversions in Hayes
Explore the room you want to create in your roof space, with the structure, headroom and staircase considered together. Tell Falcon what you want to change in your Hayes home.

Start with the roof and the stair
Begin a Hayes loft enquiry on the floor below the roof. Photograph the landing and note which rooms might be affected by a stair. Then describe the room you need: a bedroom, a work space or another use. Safe access to the existing loft can help establish what is there, but do not climb into an unsafe space to collect photographs. Storage space and a finished habitable room are different proposals. The design discussion needs to consider the roof, usable headroom and the route through the house before a layout is treated as workable.
Choose the scope for your Hayes home
Compare dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard and rooflight options against the actual roof, stair and room requirements. Suitability and the agreed scope depend on the property assessment.
Dormer loft conversions
Consider usable space alongside the shape of the roof
Hip-to-gable loft conversions
Assess the hipped roof and the room it could contain
Mansard loft conversions
Treat the roof alteration as a complete design decision
Rooflight loft conversions
Test the existing roof space before choosing roof windows
A property check in Hayes
Hillingdon publishes a boundary map for Hayes Village conservation area. Use the map for the property, rather than treating all of Hayes as one designation.
Include the existing roof and any proposed external changes in the design discussion. Check the property-specific position before relying on an example from the same street.

This loft bedroom is a stock illustration by Alex Tyson on Unsplash, not a Falcon project. It can help explain an idea for a room under a sloping ceiling, but it does not establish the design or feasibility of your conversion.
See the illustration and creditPrepare for the first conversation
Write down your preferred room use, possible stair position and whether a bathroom is part of the idea. If you already have plans, include the roof section as well as floor plans. Do not assume the neighbours' conversion establishes what will suit your house.
If drawings are needed, Falcon can arrange formal design and planning support through our partner and coordinate this with the build. Our practical advice on layouts and finishes is separate from that professional work. The scope and fees are agreed for your project.
Follow the project processWhat Falcon supplies and what you choose
Falcon supplies agreed first-fix materials and carries out the agreed building and fitting work. You buy the agreed second-fix items with our guidance; Falcon fits the items included in your scope.
Discuss finish choices and any bathroom fittings with the building scope. Buying an item and including its installation in the project are separate decisions.
Can a loft room be agreed from a roof photograph?
A photograph starts the conversation but cannot establish suitability. The landing, stair position, headroom and structure need to be considered with the roof.
Can you price the work from this page?
Request a Quote for your own project. The scope, existing property and chosen items need to be understood before the price and inclusions can be explained.
Can I use drawings I already have?
Tell us what drawings and decisions are available and whether the design has changed since they were prepared. Falcon can discuss the building work against them and identify where further professional input needs to be arranged.
