What Are The Types Of Loft Conversions Available?
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 rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. They are the best way for you to expand your home at an affordable price.
The sloped roof side is modified to create vertical walls. A flat roof is added to expand the room’s floor height. Your new loft will make you feel more comfortable, especially if you are tall. Most of these loft conversions will be eligible under your permissible development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
Although this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite simple. 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 Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion is a complete replacement of one side of the roof on a property to make it more spacious. It also preserves the roof structure on the other side.
This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house structure.
Mansard loft conversions add the greatest value to your house because of the extent of the work involved and the added space. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
Velux Loft Conversion
This is the simplest method of converting your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best For My Home?
Some loft conversions are not suitable for all houses. Dormer or Velux, are suitable for all kinds of property. Mansard lofts, however, are better suited for semi-detached or detached homes due to the extra construction space they require.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.

Is it cheaper to extend or convert the loft?
In general a loft conversion is much cheaper and more straightforward than building a brand new extension. But, the more sophisticated the loft design is, the higher the cost and level of disruption.
What is a basic loft conversion?
Generally, a basic loft conversion will consist of a staircase to access the Loft Conversion, and a single bedroom with 1 or perhaps 2 Velux windows, that's pretty much a basic loft conversion.
What is a non habitable loft conversion?
With a non-habitable loft conversion, the idea is to utilise as much of the loft space as possible for storage which will help to significantly reduce the amount of clutter that can build up around the home.
