What Are The Main 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 Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. They are the best way for you to expand your home at an affordable price.
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. These loft conversions are usually eligible under your permitted developments rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
Although it might sound strange, this type of conversion is actually much simpler than you may think. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.
Mansard Loft Conversion
A mansard loft is where one half the property’s roof is removed and replaced with a new roof. The other roof structure remains intact.
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. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the easiest method to convert your loft. Because there is no need to modify the roof, adding roof windows is very common. 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?
All types of loft conversions may not be suitable for every home. Mansard lofts can be used for detached and semi-detached homes. Velux lofts and dormer conversions work for all types of properties.
For the same reasons, hip-to–gable loft conversions can be used for semi-detached detached and end-terraced homes.

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
