If you're a homeowner in London, Surrey, or Hampshire looking to expand your living space without the upheaval of moving house, a loft conversion or home extension is one of the smartest and most cost-effective investments you can make. With house prices continuing to rise and the cost of upsizing becoming increasingly prohibitive, more families and property owners are choosing to improve rather than move.

At Vector Living, we specialise in delivering high-quality, stress-free loft conversions and house extensions across the South East. Whether you're considering a dormer loft in Wimbledon or a single-storey extension in Richmond, our comprehensive design and build services offer both practicality and value.

Why Loft Conversions and Extensions Are More Popular Than Ever

Expanding your home not only gives you more usable space, but it also significantly increases your property’s market value. A well-executed loft conversion in London can add up to 20% to a property’s value, while a high-quality house extension provides versatile space for growing families, home offices, or luxurious kitchens.

What's more, these improvements are far more affordable than buying a larger home, particularly when you work with an experienced contractor who knows how to deliver value without compromise. That’s where Vector Living excels.

The Vector Living Difference

Established in 2014, Vector Living has grown into a leading residential construction and project management company, with a reputation for delivering elegant and efficient living spaces. We bring decades of combined experience in property development, sales, lettings, and refurbishment to every project, ensuring our clients benefit from well-informed, carefully considered decisions at every stage.

Our core offering is simple but powerful: complete project management, led by a dedicated site manager who oversees everything from the initial designs through to final certification. This means you’ll never have to chase contractors or worry about technical compliance—we handle it all.

You can see the calibre of our work in our Project Spotlight Page.

Our Seamless Process: From Design to Delivery

Design

We either collaborate with your existing architect or introduce you to one of our trusted, accredited professionals. Together, we optimise the layout to maximise natural light, improve flow, and enhance functionality.

Planning

Navigating planning permissions can be a complex process, especially in conservation areas or when dealing with local authority requirements. Vector Living's team has extensive experience working with councils in London, Surrey, and Hampshire, ensuring timely submissions and approvals.

Contractor Selection

We work with a handpicked network of qualified and certified contractors—professionals we trust to maintain the highest standards. Our tendering process ensures that you receive not only fair pricing but the right skills for your specific project.

Implementation

Every build is unique, and flexibility is key. Whether it's repositioning a window or upgrading a material, our project managers are on-site and responsive, ensuring smooth communication and agile problem-solving.

Delivery

Our promise is simple: on time, on budget, and to the highest standards. We manage all final inspections and certifications, giving you peace of mind and a space you can enjoy from day one.

What Makes Vector Living Stand Out?

While many companies offer loft and extension services, Vector Living distinguishes itself with the following:

Value Engineering Expertise: Our team is skilled in identifying alternative materials, layouts, and construction techniques that save you money without sacrificing quality.
Support for Overseas Clients: Many of our clients live abroad and trust us to manage their UK properties. We offer remote progress updates, transparent documentation, and full accountability.

Tailored for Busy Professionals: If you lead a hectic lifestyle or travel frequently, our project management model means you don’t have to juggle multiple trades or deal with logistical details. We do it all for you.
