Loft conversions are efficient ways to make the most of the space that you have in your home. At the same time, this conversion should not be too disruptive while it is being constructed. The three main types are dormer, mansard, and hip to gable loft conversions.

Loft conversion

This is the most common type of loft conversion and can also be hipped roofed or gable fronted. In this conversion, a vertical wall is built from the bottom end of the roof slope, and the area created can then be covered with a flat roof, that allows you to get the maximum headroom. In many cases, this sort of conversion permissions may not be needed, but never undertake any loft conversion unless you clarify this from the local authorities or architects who are experienced in carrying out such conversions. The wall can be provided with windows to suit the elevation and provide the required light and ventilation.

These types of loft conversions are normally constructed at the rear of properties that do not face the road. It will have a flat roof and back walls that slope inwards by about 72 degrees. This conversion involves changes to the structure. They will require planning permission and can be expensive because of an increase in construction works. It is common in terraced housing in urban areas and will have windows that are housed in dormers. We recently completed a Loft conversion in twickenham like this for Ian.

In this type of loft conversion, the hipped roof is changed to form a gabled end that is flat. This is more suitable for bungalows, or detached and semi-detached homes. You can also combine this type of conversion with the dormer or mansard conversion and can create an additional floor for your home.

Many agencies which undertake loft conversions can provide you with modular lofts that will have a steel frame. You will need to match the outer walls that are visible in these conversions so that they match the styles that you have existing.
