What Are The Different Types Of 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 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 best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable price.
The roof’s sloped side can be altered to create vertical walls and a flat roof to increase the area’s underhead height. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental 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 is simply an elevation of one side of the roof’s hip in order to increase the underhead space.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
Mansard Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion is a complete replacement of one side of the roof on a property to make it more spacious. It also preserves the roof structure on the other side.
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. You will need to submit a full application for planning permission to your Local Planning Authority due the significant restructuring they entail.
Velux Or Roof Window 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.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Would Be Best Suited For My Home?
Not every type of loft conversion is suitable for every house. 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 FAQs
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.
