Massively recommend!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke, Dan and the team have recently created a beautiful pergola in my garden as well as installing some lovely, modern fencing. The workmanship is fantastic, they were professional, tidy, on time and really cared about the feature they were creating for me. They helped with the design, suggesting ideas and I felt happy with the work from start to finish. Great quality work done by a very skilled , pleasant and professional team. Great job.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. New internal doors, New Fascias, gutters and PVC panelling installed to replace tiles by Apex. Really happy with the end result. Would recommend thank youPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke and the boys re-felted our roof for us, and we enjoyed having them on site! They did a great job for an excellent price, and were always reachable for updates on how the work was going, as well as being polite, friendly and respectful always. Really recommended!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke and his team have played a big role in our house transformation. We purchased a 50 year old house due to family expansion but the layout and style didn’t work for our requirements (flexible working from home/office, small kids, regular family and friends gatherings, fixation on minimalism and very functional use of space). Luke hasn’t been just a good carpenter, he pretty much project managed our three month affair with the house from helping us to remove a structural wall and order the steel per engineer’s drawings, replacing and fitting all the doors and skirting boards, revamping built in storage spaces and even helping to order a waste skip. Luke is extremely well connected in building area, he brought in great guys/professionals in finishing various jobs around our house and was instrumental to completing the project. I am also thankful to Luke for returning back so many times and allowing us do other work around the house in a structured logical phase. Thank you and I hope you continue to help other people like ourselves in making their living space look great!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant service - completed some bespoke fitted wardrobes, bathroom cupboards and pull out understairs cupboards. All work completed very efficiently and professionally, offering great suggestions based on our needs. Highly recommend and will be using them again for sure.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top class. Luke and the team were fantastic converting our loft space into a large 3 bedroom +walk-in wardrobe space. Throughout the team made clear options available to us, the pro’s and cons and kept us up to speed on progress and managing any issues (eg. The weather!). They worked diligently putting in extra effort at times to hit key milestones because they took such pride in their work, and it shows. As it took shape we made decisions to make some changes and they were very accommodating to ensure what we received was what we hoped and of absolute quality. Luke has since been back (1yr on) to help touch up standard aesthetics where the loft has settled (again something the team made us well aware would happen from early on). Work again was clean, quality and clearly priced. In summary, great communication, reliable pricing, very high quality. Delighted.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10 beautiful oak doors fitted. Efficiently and cleanly. Lovely work.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke is a very skilled carpenter he was polite. On time and efficient. I had my gas meters boxed in and they look great already discussed the next projects for my house Highly recommend
Basingstoke Loft Conversion Types
Not all Basingstoke properties are the same. Optimising your home's living space means choosing the right type of loft conversion.
At Apex Lofts and Carpentry, we work with you to create a bespoke loft conversion that seamlessly blends with your existing Basingstoke location and matches your plans.
Popular options include:
Velux Window Conversion
Adding Velux (or similar roof windows) is a perfect way of adding natural light and extra space without altering the footprint of your home.
a Velux conversion creates an airy, bright living area, whilst maintaining privacy.
Side Dormer Conversion
A side dormer extends the head space along one side of a pitched roof, maximising space and adding value.
These are a common type of loft conversion, being straightforward and cost-effective.
Mansard Conversion
Similar to a dormer, but the whole roof slope is replaced with a nearly vertical (72º) wall.
Dormer windows are then added to finish the look. These can cost more than a dormer conversion, due to the structural changes.
Hip-to-Gable Conversion
Often used for end-of-terrace properties, this involves extending the slanted end of a hipped roof with a new vertical wall (gable).
This increases loft space without affecting the total footprint. Perfect for maximising your home's usable living space.
Piggyback Conversion
When you have a loft that needs more height to work as a usable living space, a piggyback conversion is a great option.
This involves raising a portion of the roof by a maximum of 1.3m, whilst retaining the current character of your home.
Pitched Dormer Conversion
This conversion type adds individual dormers to the existing pitched roof, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
By incorporating the current pitched roof, we ensure that the new space blends harmoniously with your roof structure and property style.

Loft Conversion FAQ
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about loft extensions by customers in Basingstoke:
You do not generally need planning permission if your loft alterations only include remodelling of the interior space. However new dormer windows or amendments to the external shape of the roof, are likely to require planning permission.
For an accurate answer, speak to your Hampshire local authority planning department.
Detached properties generally don’t need any direct permission from a neighbour. However, semi-detached or terraced properties often need a ‘party wall agreement’ if changes will impact the joining wall.
If your loft amendments require planning permission, neighbours can have a chance to comment on the plans. If enough neighbours see issues where the loft conversion might interfere with their own property, then you may need to take extra steps to placate their requirements.
Not all loft extensions require input from an architect, however to ensure you don’t violate any building regulations it is recommended your plans are checked.
Our extensive experience converting lofts means we can highlight any building regulations that may require extra investigation.
