What is a bungalow loft conversion?
A bungalow loft conversion uses the large roof space of a bungalow to add bedrooms and a bathroom, turning it into a chalet bungalow. Dormers at the front, rear or both create headroom; some projects raise the roof entirely.
How much does a bungalow loft conversion cost in Milford Haven?
In Milford Haven, a bungalow loft conversion typically costs £41,500–£73,500 for a typical bungalow conversion with dormers, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). That range is adjusted for Wales, where domestic building work typically costs around 8% below the national average. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.

Your quote will depend mainly on:
- Bathrooms
- Staircase position within the bungalow
- Whether the roof is raised
- Fire escape design
A guide range is only a starting point: the guide price tool gives an instant figure for your size, and a free survey turns it into a fixed quote.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow loft conversion in Milford Haven?
Whether you need planning permission depends on your house and its location in Wales. In Wales rear dormers may be permitted development within volume limits; front dormers and roof raises need planning permission.
Building regulations in Wales are set by the Welsh Government. Approval comes from the council’s building control service or a registered building control approver, with inspections during the work and a completion certificate at the end.
At the survey we check your house’s planning history and any restrictions, and tell you which route applies.
