Are you frustrated by a lack of living space, and not enough storage space?

Have you got an attic that isn’t being used in your Ardsley house?

Are you looking for additional storage or living space within your home that doesn’t require you to move or expand outwards?

It would be amazing to see your property increase in value by 25%.

A loft conversion may be the best solution for you. Loft conversions are becoming a very popular option for adding space to your home without increasing its overall footprint, especially for a growing family who cannot afford to move to a bigger house. It’s cheaper than moving house and can increase your home’s value significantly. A Loft Conversion can add up to 25% to your property’s overall value, so you are likely to make money with your loft conversion over time.

There are many ways that a loft conversion can help you add more space to your home, such as a master bedroom or guest room, a home gym, a teenage den, a home office or just to make your home more functional.

What Is A Loft Conversion?

Loft conversions and roof extensions in Ardsley are a cost effective way to increase the space in your home. You already have the space in your home, and it is waiting to be used. Your loft can be transformed into a useful space that you use every day. It can be converted into a master room with an ensuite, a guest room, an office, a kids’ bedroom or playroom, hobby room, a gym, or even a home theater!

Why Should I Convert My Attic Into An Additional Room?

Loft conversions can be a great addition to your home. The most important benefit is the extra living space that it provides. If your family is growing then a new room might be what you need. Maybe you just want to make your family feel welcome on weekends and holidays. You can also make this space a great place for your children to play or create your own private gym. Converting your attic will both increase its value on the market when you come to sell it as well as giving you more living space. A loft conversion has other benefits, including:

  • Loft conversions can increase your property’s value by as much as 25%. This makes them a great investment for the future.
  • Your loft conversion may be customised to meet your particular needs and requirements. You can create the space that best suits your lifestyle.

What Are The Types Of Loft Conversions Available?

The type of loft conversion that you can create depends on the type of house that you live in. The area you live in will also determine what sort of planning permission is required. You can include, bathrooms, wet rooms or stunning natural light designs and much more.

There are 4 main types of loft conversions that can be done: Dormer Loft Conversion, Hip to Gable Loft Conversion, Mansard Loft Conversion and Velux Loft Conversion. Each has advantages and disadvantages depending on which type will work best with your existing house structure.

Dormer Style Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.

To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. Your new loft will make you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.

Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion

This may sound complicated, but it is really not. The hip-to-gable loft conversion is simply the lifting of one hip of the roof to create more space under the ceiling.

From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.

Mansard Loft Conversion

The mansard loft conversion completely replaces one half of a property’s roof, to give it an additional floor. However, the roof structure on the opposite side is preserved.

This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.

Mansard loft conversions add the greatest value to your house because of the extent of the work involved and the added space. You will need to submit a full application for planning permission to your Local Planning Authority due the significant restructuring they entail.

Velux Loft Conversion

This is the most straightforward way to convert your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. The roof framework will remain as is. All you have to do is install a skylight in the roof’s liner. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.

Which Type Of Loft Conversion Is More Suitable For My Home?

All types of loft conversions may not be suitable for every home. Mansard Loft conversions are more suitable for semi-detached and detached homes, whereas velux and dormer lofts work for all types of properties.

Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.

Loft Conversion Services FAQs

Where do you put stairs for a loft conversion?

Usually, the stairs to your loft conversion are best placed over the existing staircase in terms of convenience and efficient use of space. If this is not possible, a small room or part of a large room may be sacrificed to accommodate the stairs.

What lofts Cannot be converted?

As a general rule, 2.2m from floor to ceiling at its highest point is the threshold for undertaking a loft conversion. If your loft does not meet this requirement, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to raise your pitch roof, since councils very rarely grant permission to do that.

How long does a loft conversion take?

On average, loft conversions can be done in as little as 4 weeks or may take up to 8 weeks, with certain styles less complex than others. Here are the different loft conversion types, broken down by a rough time estimation: Roof light conversions – 4 weeks on average. Dormer conversions – 5 weeks on average.

Can I stay in house during loft conversion?

If you want to stay in your home during a loft conversion, we say it's perfectly possible. You just need to be realistic about the work that will be undertaken.

Can I use my loft as a bedroom?

But when it comes to being a bedroom, a converted loft room cannot be called a bedroom merely because it offers enough space to fit a bed in, or because one has been put in there: a loft needs to be converted for the purposes of being a sleeping area, and in accordance with building regulations, in order to be called a bedroom
