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 are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.

The roof’s sloped side is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’s underhead height. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development rights.

Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion

You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very simple. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.

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

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.

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

Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. 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 easiest method 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 lofts can be used for detached and semi-detached homes. Velux lofts and dormer conversions 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.

Loft Conversion 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
