Different Types of Loft Conversions
Every home is unique, and so is every loft conversion. We offer a variety of solutions to suit your home’s layout and your personal needs.
Dormer Loft Conversions
A popular choice for adding headroom and natural light, dormer lofts extend vertically from the roof, creating extra floor space.
Velux (Rooflight) Conversions
Ideal for homes with sufficient head height, Velux conversions involve installing skylights to transform an attic into a bright, airy space.
Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversions
Perfect for semi-detached or detached homes, this conversion extends the sloped roof, increasing internal space dramatically.
Loft Conversions with Roof Trusses
For maximum space and headroom, a mansard conversion alters the roof structure, creating a full additional storey with large windows.
FAQs About Loft Conversions
Q. Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
For most homeowners, planning permission is not required as loft conversions typically fall under permitted development rights. This means you can convert your loft without applying for planning permission, as long as:
- The extension does not exceed 40 cubic metres for terraced houses or 50 cubic metres for detached and semi-detached homes.
- The conversion does not extend beyond the existing roof slope on the front of the house.
- The height of the new roof does not exceed the existing roof height.
- Side-facing windows are obscured glass and non-opening (unless positioned above 1.7m).
- The materials used are similar in appearance to the existing property.
However, planning permission is required if:
Your home is in a conservation area or a listed building. The conversion exceeds the volume limits mentioned above. You’re making significant structural changes that alter the roofline beyond permitted development.
Q. Do loft conversions add value to your home?
Absolutely. According to Checkatrade, a well-executed loft conversion can increase property value by up to 20%. It is a fantastic investment that not only provides extra space but also enhances your home’s resale potential.
Q. Can I live in my home during the loft conversion?
Yes, in most cases, you can stay in your home while the work is carried out. We take care to minimise disruption and work efficiently to keep your home as comfortable as possible.
