Dormer loft conversions are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.
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. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion

The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.

Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.
This conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.

You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.
