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 Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. These are the best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable price.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. Your new loft will make you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
This may sound complicated, but it is really not. A hip to gable loft conversion consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.
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.
This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.
Mansard loft conversions add the greatest value to your house because of the extent of the work involved and the added space. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest way to convert your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. Natural light will make your attic more useful as the Velux window acts like a skylight.
Which Type Of Loft Conversion Is More Suitable 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
Do new loft conversions need joists?

Is a small loft conversion worth it?
A loft conversion is often cited in surveys as the best way to add value to your home. Recent research carried out by the Nationwide Building Society has stated that a loft conversion could add up to 20% to the value of your home.
Is it cheaper to extend or convert the loft?
In general a loft conversion is much cheaper and more straightforward than building a brand new extension. But, the more sophisticated the loft design is, the higher the cost and level of disruption.
What is a basic loft conversion?
Generally, a basic loft conversion will consist of a staircase to access the Loft Conversion, and a single bedroom with 1 or perhaps 2 Velux windows, that's pretty much a basic loft conversion.
What is a non habitable loft conversion?
With a non-habitable loft conversion, the idea is to utilise as much of the loft space as possible for storage which will help to significantly reduce the amount of clutter that can build up around the home.
