Types Of Loft Conversion

A loft conversion is an economical way of adding a significant amount of space to your property. There are several methods for converting an attic space, some of which will require planning permission.

Any dormer style conversion will create projection from the existing roofline with the inclusion of a dormer window. Rear dormers are excellent for generating large amounts of headroom and open space. They also have the advantage of not always requiring planning permission.

Velux conversions are widespread and the most simple to construct. The existing loft space is converted, but the roofline remains intact. A pitched roof window is installed to bring light and vibrancy to an unused space.

A hip to gable loft conversion will add the most space, but it is also one of the most costly and will need planning permission.
