What Are The Main 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 Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.
The roof’s sloped side can be altered to create vertical walls and a flat roof to increase the area’s underhead height. Your new loft will make you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
Although this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite simple. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
Mansard Loft Conversion
Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.
This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house structure.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. Because of the extensive restructuring involved, they will require a full planning permission application from your Local Planning Authority.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest method to convert your loft. Roof windows are very popular as they don’t require any roof restructuring. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Would Be Best Suited For My Home?
Not every type of loft conversion is suitable for every house. Mansard lofts convert semi-detached to detached homes better, whereas dormer and velux lofts work for all types of properties.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.

What is a basic loft conversion?

What is a non habitable loft conversion?
