Dormer
Dormer Loft Conversions involve reshaping the roof structure with a dormer box extension to create additional space and increased head height. Typically, the dormer box protrudes from the rear roof slope of the property, providing practical and stylish extra living space.
Dormer conversions are among the most popular choices offering a great balance of cost, space, and functionality.
Mansard
Mansard Loft Conversions are commonly found in urban areas, including North and East London. They feature a flat roof with a rear wall that slopes inwards at approximately 72 degrees, creating a distinctive architectural style.
Mansard conversions involve more extensive work than Velux, Hip-to-Gable, or Dormer conversions, but they offer a substantial increase in usable space and head height, making them ideal for homeowners who want to maximise their loft’s potential.
Velux
Velux Loft Conversions require minimal alterations, making them the least disruptive and most cost-effective type of loft conversion. The only exterior changes involve installing Velux windows, which are designed to fit seamlessly in line with your existing roof.
Velux conversions are ideal for properties with a high-pitched roof and sufficient existing head height, allowing you to create a bright, airy, and functional loft space without major structural work.
Hip-to-Gable
Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversions are an ideal solution for homeowners in Harlow, Loughton, Bishop’s Stortford, and the surrounding areas who have detached or semi-detached properties. This type of conversion involves extending the hip of your existing roof into a full gable end, allowing you to maximise interior space and create a larger, more functional loft area.
Because Hip-to-Gable conversions involve substantial alterations to the exterior of your property, planning permission may sometimes be required, depending on your location and property type.
