What Are The Differences Between Loft Conversions?

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 Style Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions are another popular type of loft conversion. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.

The roof’s sloped side is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’s underhead height. Your new loft will make your life easier, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development rights.

Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion

This may sound complicated, but it is really not. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.

It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.

Mansard Style Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.

This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.

Mansard lofts can increase your home’s value due to their extensive nature and added space. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.

Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion

This is the easiest way to convert your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. The framework is left intact. 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.

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.

For the same reasons, hip-to–gable loft conversions can be used for semi-detached detached and end-terraced homes.

Loft Conversion Services Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you put stairs for a loft conversion?

Usually, the stairs to your loft conversion are best placed over the existing staircase in terms of convenience and efficient use of space. If this is not possible, a small room or part of a large room may be sacrificed to accommodate the stairs.

What lofts Cannot be converted?

As a general rule, 2.2m from floor to ceiling at its highest point is the threshold for undertaking a loft conversion. If your loft does not meet this requirement, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to raise your pitch roof, since councils very rarely grant permission to do that.

How long does a loft conversion take?

On average, loft conversions can be done in as little as 4 weeks or may take up to 8 weeks, with certain styles less complex than others. Here are the different loft conversion types, broken down by a rough time estimation: Roof light conversions – 4 weeks on average. Dormer conversions – 5 weeks on average.

Can I stay in house during loft conversion?

If you want to stay in your home during a loft conversion, we say it's perfectly possible. You just need to be realistic about the work that will be undertaken.

Can I use my loft as a bedroom?

But when it comes to being a bedroom, a converted loft room cannot be called a bedroom merely because it offers enough space to fit a bed in, or because one has been put in there: a loft needs to be converted for the purposes of being a sleeping area, and in accordance with building regulations, in order to be called a bedroom
