What Are The 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 Style 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.

The sloped roof side is modified to create vertical walls. A flat roof is added to expand the room’s floor height. Your new loft will make it easier to walk in, especially for tall people. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.

Hip-To-Gable 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.

It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.

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.

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

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 Or Roof Window Loft Conversion

This is the simplest method of converting 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. 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 convert semi-detached to detached homes better, whereas dormer and velux 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 Services Frequently Asked Questions

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
