Sunlight Lofts Named Best Loft Conversion Specialists 2026 by BUILD Magazine

We're delighted to share that Sunlight Lofts has been named Best Loft Conversion Specialists 2026 for North London & Hertfordshire in BUILD Magazine's Architecture Awards. It's a recognition we're genuinely proud of, not least because it reflects exactly what we set out to do every day: turn unused roof space into beautiful, practical living areas that homeowners can enjoy for years to come.

BUILD is a well-respected quarterly publication covering the construction and property industries, and its Architecture Awards celebrate the firms and individuals shaping the sector. For a business built on word of mouth and repeat referrals, having that work recognised on a national stage means a great deal.

Sunlight Lofts has been trading for 37 years, converting lofts across North London and Hertfordshire into rear dormer, L-shaped dormer, gable and eaves conversions, all backed by fixed pricing and a 10-year structural guarantee. It's a family business through and through, and founder John Stevenson had this to say about the win:

"We've been doing this for the best part of four decades, and the job hasn't really changed: turn up when you say you will, do the work properly, and treat people's homes with respect. That's it. This award isn't for anything flashy, it's for sticking to those basics longer than most, and I think that says more about our team than it does about me. I'm proud of every single one of them."

That focus on straightforward, honest communication is something we hear time and again from customers, and it's the reason the business has grown steadily since 1989 while staying a genuinely local, family-run operation. Our team carries out loft conversions across Barnet, Haringey, Enfield, Camden, Islington, Hackney and Waltham Forest, and whether it's a rear dormer in Barnet, an L-shaped conversion in Enfield, or a full loft transformation in Islington, Camden, Haringey, Hackney or Waltham Forest, the approach is the same: clear pricing, clear timelines, and a team that answers the phone.

If you're thinking about a loft conversion in North London and want to work with a team that's just picked up a national award for doing exactly that, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote and find out what your loft space could become.
