Attic Living.
More room for living!

Move up, not out!

Outgrowing your current home? Living in each other’s pockets?
NEED to spread out? Or just want a little luxury? The space in your roof
could be your key to a bigger, happier home.

If you love where you live but your house is feeling a little small, the dark and
dusty space in your roof might just be your answer to brand new living space!
Especially if you don’t have room or the desire to extend outwards! Kick the
spiders and dust out and move in yourself with our Attic Living option.

Your roof space extends across your entire house footprint. Depending on
the height of your roof, there could be enough space to transform it into an
amazing, fully habitable and architecturally designed and engineered second
living level, not just simple storage or a deluxe, multi-purpose room.

Think parent’s retreat complete with ensuite, separate bedrooms for the
children, guest quarters, new bathroom or grand study. Create the space
you’ve dreamed about.

ONWARDS & UPWARDS

Grow space, add value, save money and keep your yard.

With land sizes decreasing, especially in premium inner city suburbs, traditional extensions are not always practical or achievable. The cost of selling and moving can also be crazy. And just think of all the time and energy that goes into finding a new place. With Roof Space Renovators, expanding your home without expanding your footprint has never been easier or more cost effective.

The average home has over 30% of its internal volume wasted in unused attic (roof) space. Our Attic Living option allows you to create a larger home by going up and converting your already available roof space into architecturally designed living areas complete with roof windows or skylights and a permanent staircase. You can substantially add value to your property and keep precious land.

If you are running out of room in your home, a deluxe attic storage room, accessed by one of our top quality attic ladders could be the answer. If you consider that up to 30% of the space in your home is in your roof space, that much needed extra room might be easier and more cost effective to obtain than you think!

Frequently Asked Questions

Some great questions we get

What’s the difference between a Deluxe Attic Room and Attic Living?

Our deluxe attic rooms, come complete with a superior finish including gyprock walls and a structural floor, allowing for heavier storage requirements and frequent foot traffic. Due to the premium design and build of this form of attic conversion in combination with the aesthetic appeal, these rooms are commonly used as a much needed additional room in the house, such as a hobby room, kids play room, or study. Attic Living involves converting the roof space into an additional living space such as, bedrooms and an extra bathroom, or lounge room.

Will I need Council Approval for my roof space renovation?

A building approval is required for our Deluxe Attic Rooms. However, you do not need to worry about this, we organise everything required.

How will I know what is realistically achievable with my roof/attic space?

Contact us! We can talk you through some important factors. We can also schedule an appointment for an inspection. Our consultant can then let you know what is or isn’t possible.

Can I live in my house while my attic is being transformed?

In most circumstances, yes! The beauty of an attic conversion, is that most of the work is conducted inside an area of the home that is not yet used. Further, as attic conversions are our specialty, our team know how to keep disruptions to a minimum.

What happens if I want to change something throughout the build?
