Loft Conversion – Mumbles, Swansea
This dormer loft conversion in Mumbles, Swansea has transformed an underutilised attic space into a bright, functional, and spacious living area. The homeowners wanted to maximise their loft’s potential, adding a new bedroom and en-suite while maintaining the character of the property.
To ensure the conversion was structurally sound, compliant with Building Regulations, and seamlessly integrated into the existing home, PorthouseDean provided expert structural calculations to support the dormer extension, new floor reinforcements, and RSJ beam installations.

✅ A dormer extension – Creating additional headroom and usable floor space
✅ Reinforced loft flooring – Supporting the weight of the new living area
