For attics lacking head height, a flat roof dormer can create more space by raising part of the roof. Though dormers require more refurbishment than Velux conversions, they offer more headspace and design flexibility. Most rear dormers don’t need planning permission, but front dormers and mansard extensions will need local authority approval.
TYPES OF LOFT CONVERSION
Dormer Loft Conversion
A great way to increase the floorspace of your house and by creating a box-shaped structure to your pitched roof, you don’t have to worry about your headspace.
Hip to Gable Loft Conversion
Great way to expand your floorspace and headspace is by adding a hip to gable loft conversion. This involves converting the sloping side of the roof to a vertical gable wall.
Mansard Loft Conversion
This type of loft conversion can give your home a completely different look with a horizontal roof and 70-degree back wall, whilst also ensuring that you are left with a desirable space.
Roof Light or Velux Loft Conversion
A Velux loft conversion involves building into the existing roof line and installing Velux roof windows or rooflights into the ceiling. This type of loft conversion won’t extend your current space, but it will turn your roof into a liveable space with natural lighting provided by roof windows.
