Dormer Loft Conversions
A dormer is a popular choice for adding space and height. It involves extending a section of the roof to create a flat-roofed structure that projects vertically. Dormers provide extra headroom and usable floor space, making them ideal for adding bedrooms or bathrooms.
Best For:
Most property types, including terraced, semi-detached, and detached houses.
Pros:
- Cost Effective
- Maximizes available head height
- Creates additional floor space
- Suitable for most property types
- Suitable for planning permissions in most cases
Rooflight Loft Conversion
A Rooflight loft conversion retains the existing roof structure and adds roof windows to bring in natural light. These are the least disruptive and most budget-friendly conversions.
Best For:
Homes with adequate headroom and a structurally sound roof.
Pros:
- No major structural changes
- minimal planning permissions needed
- cost-efficient
Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion
This conversion extends the sloped (hipped) part of a roof, transforming it into a vertical (gable) wall. This adds space to the loft and opens up possibilities for additional rooms.
Best For:
Semi-detached and detached houses with hipped roofs.
Pros:
- Increases usable floor space
- Perfect for hipped roof properties
- integrates seamlessly with the home’s exterior
- Can be combined with dormer conversions
