The Conversion Kings: Loft, Garage and Home Conversion Specialists in Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset

We’re The Conversion Kings, and we’re here to transform your unused loft, garage or living space into something beautiful and practical that adds real value to your home. Based in Poole, we cover loft conversions, garage conversions, renovations, extensions and annexes right across Dorset and into parts of Hampshire and Wiltshire.

About Us

We’re a local business established in 2019, helping residents across Dorset bring their home improvement visions to life and make the most of the space they’ve already got. Our team has worked on a huge range of projects, transforming unused lofts and garages into luxury bedrooms, productive office spaces and extra living areas, and between us we bring over 30 years of combined building experience to every job.

Led by Lory

Lory leads The Conversion Kings today, having built the business up alongside Jeff in its early years. Whether you’re speaking to Lory directly or one of our long-standing trade teams, you’re dealing with people who’ve been doing this for a long time and genuinely take pride in getting it right. We don’t use sub-contractors — only skilled employees — which means the same faces who scope out your project are the ones who see it through to completion.

Loft and Garage Conversions

A loft or garage conversion brings a lot of decisions with it, and we’re always on hand to give you the professional guidance you need, whether that’s fixtures, lighting, windows, staircase designs, plumbing requirements, or anything in between. We offer a genuine end-to-end service, starting with design, sourcing all the materials, converting your loft or garage into your dream space, and finishing everything off with interior design so no detail gets missed.

Converting a loft or garage does more than add financial value to your home — it creates a better way of living for you and your family. It’s also more cost-effective than starting a full extension project, and genuinely versatile: your unused space can become a hobby workshop, a home office, a children’s playroom, or a bedroom with en-suite, whatever suits your household best.

Extensions, Annexes and Renovations

Beyond lofts and garages, we handle full home extensions and garden annexes for families who need more space than a conversion alone can provide, and we take on complete home renovations too, including demolition, replacement floors, partitions, walls and ceilings, plastering, doors, windows, and full bathroom and kitchen refits. If you’ve been refused planning permission for an extension, it’s also worth talking to us about a garage conversion instead — we’ve helped several customers get considerably more usable space than their original extension plans would have allowed, once we worked through the alternatives with them.

Roofing, Carpentry and Finishing Trades

With more than three decades of experience maintaining properties across Bournemouth and Poole between us, we’re confident calling ourselves trusted local roofing experts, handling everything from pitched and flat roofing to commercial roofing work. We also carry out commercial carpentry, cladding and weatherboards, and doors and windows, so whatever finishing trade your project needs, we can likely take care of it as part of the same job rather than you needing to bring in someone else.

How We Work

When you start working with us, one of our consultants will visit your property to discuss every practical aspect of the project and assess the space available, giving you honest advice on what’s actually possible. From there, we’ll guide you through any planning permission or building regulations that need considering, and provide a detailed quote that breaks down every aspect of the conversion, so there are no surprise costs later on. We use the same trade teams throughout, which keeps things efficient and helps us complete your project on schedule and on budget. Communication matters most to us at the very start — before work begins, we’ll explain our whole process so you know exactly what’s happening and when. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail, as we like to say.

What Our Customers Say

We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built across Dorset. Mr and Mrs Davis in Wimborne told us we made their loft conversion simple from the start, organising planning permission and putting them in touch with an architect, structural engineer and building inspector, and thanked Jeff and Lory personally. Mr and Mrs Sampson in Bournemouth said Jeff’s knowledge of building regulations and planning permissions meant their garage conversion gave them a bigger extension than they’d originally planned, after being refused permission for a house extension. Jessica Douglas told us we converted her garage into a garden room and a separate “man cave,” calling us reliable, tidy and tolerant of her curious children throughout. Juliet Browning said the quality of a recent loft conversion was excellent and that we clearly took pride in our work, keeping the rest of her house clean and tidy the whole way through. Verity McAuley praised how quickly we completed a huge loft conversion while still delivering the bespoke features she’d asked for, and Tim Williams said he’d have no hesitation recommending Lory and the team after converting part of his garage into an office.
