What Are The Different Types Of Leeds 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 are another popular type of loft conversion. 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 your life easier, especially if you are tall. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.

Hip-To-Gable Style 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 Style 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.

Because it is built into the existing house structure, this method converts your loft in a more artistic way than a dormer extension.

Mansard lofts can increase your home’s value due to their extensive nature and added space. 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 way to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. The roof framework will remain as is. All you have to do is install a skylight in the roof’s liner. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.

What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House?

Not all loft conversions will work for every home. 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 Services 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.
