Unlock more space in your home - the practical way

Practical Spaces offers fixed-fee design and approval packages that help homeowners across the East Midlands extend, convert and transform their homes with confidence.

  • Loft conversions

    Unlock the potential of your loft space. Add a bedroom, office or bathroom - all within permitted development and without the planning delays
