Loft Conversion and Property Extension in Worthing | Ways to Use Your New Habitable Space
If you have design ideas for having a loft conversion, a garage conversion or a property extension built, and if you already know what you plan to do with your new living space, you’ll need a creative building and roofing company to bring your vision to life. SD Building & Roofing, located in Worthing, uses this page to explain how other customers have used conversions and extensions in the past. We can offer you the complete design-and-build package.
This means you only ever need one team of contractors for everything, from the design and construction work to new roof installations on pitched and flat roofing structures. With loft conversions, we can also undertake roof repairs and chimney repairs to “make good” any remedial damage caused.
Adding a loft conversion, a garage conversion or a property extension to a Worthing home will give you extra habitable space. Our building and roofing company always thinks it is a good idea to go into a project knowing exactly what you are going to be doing with your converted or extended space.
Bedrooms
Usually, a loft conversion or a property extension makes the best choice for a new bedroom. If you extend over two storeys instead of one, you can gain added space downstairs as well as upstairs (maybe to use as an extended kitchen). Because the new roof installation on either of these builds will most likely be a flat roofing structure, you can benefit further from modern EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass materials which have extraordinarily long lifespans.
EPDM and GRP also reduce your annual roof maintenance costs.
Home Offices
With more people than ever working from home in a post-pandemic society, an office can be a great addition. While a loft conversion will provide your Worthing home with a quiet space away from the hustle and bustle of family life, a garage conversion eliminates the constant need to move between floors to grab a coffee, make a lunchtime sandwich or use the toilet. Having a property extension built as a home office is a good alternative choice.
If you do decide to make your loft an office, we can undertake roof repairs and chimney repairs on any damage caused during modification.

Home Gyms
Our building and roofing company has seen a significant rise in the number of homes across Worthing which have home gymnasiums. Working out is one of the most important parts of the day for some people, but the rising cost of gym memberships and the difficulty getting onto equipment because other members are using it understandably causes frustration. We think a purpose-built garage conversion is arguably the best choice for a home gymnasium.
While it is unlikely a garage will need a new roof installation, it might need to be resurfaced. SD Building & Roofing is a regional flat roofing specialist.
Home Entertainment
Imagine a personal cinema in your Worthing home with surround sound, the latest big-screen TV and storage for your DVD collection. Unless a garage is properly insulated and then damp proofed, it might not be the best place to keep expensive electrical equipment. A loft conversion might be a better option for watching the latest movies, but a ground-floor property extension could increase your lounge space to leave room for a projector and screen.
You can discuss your home entertainment ideas with our building and roofing company when we come out to survey your home and consult with you.
Mancave
Loft conversions and garage conversions are both perfect choices if a home needs a mancave. We can combine the services of a building company and a roofing company to create a functional space with plenty of room for your vinyl collection, a music system, a pool table, a home bar and a big-screen TV for watching sports events. If the job requires a new roof installation or the modification of pitched or flat roofing, we factor this into our quotation.
A property extension might not be the best option for a mancave because it will still be linked to other rooms your family uses in your Worthing home.
Bespoke Storage
If you currently use a loft or a garage for storage and wish to continue doing so, we can make your storage space more functional with a conversion. SD Building & Roofing can fit conversions with integrated storage facilities where everything can be easily organised and accessed. In fact, we often find that with well-designed storage, there is often space left in a loft conversion or a garage conversion for you to use for pursuing your hobbies or relaxing in.
On lofts, as already specified, we include roof repairs and chimney repairs in the job specification should our tradespeople cause any remedial damage.
