Refurbishment & Loft Conversion – Camden, North London
This Camden home has undergone a full refurbishment and loft conversion, transforming it into a modern, spacious, and highly functional living space. The homeowners wanted to revitalise their property while adding valuable extra space, making use of their unused loft area to create a bright, open new living space with additional bedrooms and storage.
To ensure structural integrity, compliance with Building Regulations, and seamless integration, PorthouseDean provided expert structural calculations, supporting the loft conversion, steel beam installation, and refurbishment works. The project was successfully delivered in partnership with Detailed Planning architectural planning company.

✅ A full loft conversion – Creating an additional bedroom and en-suite
✅ Structural modifications for refurbishment – Enhancing layout and function
