What Are The Differences Between Loft Conversions?

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 are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. 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. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.

Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion

You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very simple. A hip to gable loft conversion consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.

To increase the room height, a new vertical wall can be built from an existing gable.

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 conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.

Mansard lofts can increase your home’s value due to their extensive nature and added space. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.

Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion

This is the easiest method to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. Natural light will make your attic more useful as the Velux window acts like a skylight.

Which Loft Conversion Is Best For My Home?

Not every type of loft conversion is suitable for every house. Dormer or Velux, are suitable for all kinds of property. Mansard lofts, however, are better suited for semi-detached or detached homes due to the extra construction space they require.

Similar to the above, hip-to gable loft conversions work best for semi-detached, detached or end terrace homes.

Loft Conversion Frequently Asked Questions

Is a loft conversion tax deductible?

If you were converting a new room such as an extension or loft conversion, you can also claim tax relief through capital allowances on items such as insulation, electrical wiring and plumbing.

Do you have to raise a roof for a loft conversion?

A 'stick' framed roof offers you room to expand into a conversion whereas a 'truss' framed roof usually means you need to add height before a conversion can take place. This is why many turn to a roof lift and whilst most can be raised, it's still important to note that this isn't a possibility for all.

Do I need permission to build a loft conversion?

Most loft conversions are considered permitted development, which means you won't need to get planning permission as long as the building work fits certain criteria. So, if you're looking to get a simple conversion with roof windows, you generally don't need to worry (but it's best to check).

Can a Neighbour object to a loft conversion?

Your neighbours may reject your loft conversion plans due to noise, light, or privacy concerns, which will be taken into consideration by the council. If your planning permission is rejected, you can either appeal or amend your plans, keeping in mind the reasons for rejection.

What is the simplest loft conversion?

The simplest loft conversion is to install Velux windows between the existing rafters within the sloped roof – without making any changes to your roofline. You need to have a high enough ridge line so that you have ample headroom and can make good use of the available floor space.
