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 best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable price.
The roof’s sloped side can be altered to create vertical walls and a flat roof to increase the area’s underhead height. Your new loft will make it easier to walk in, especially for tall people. These loft conversions are usually eligible under your permitted developments rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very simple. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
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 will add the most value and space to your home due to the nature of the work and the extra space. They require full planning permission applications to your Local Planning Authority, due to the extensive restructuring they entail.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest method to convert your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. The roof framework will remain as is. All you have to do is install a skylight in the roof’s liner. Your attic will benefit greatly from natural sunlight as the Velux glass acts as a rooflight.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best 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.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.

Loft Conversion FAQs
Do new loft conversions need joists?
You will most certainly need to strengthen loft conversion floor joists. Add in stronger and larger timber floor joists between the existing joists of the ceiling. Support them on the current walls if they are strong enough or add in extra timber if needed.
Is a small loft conversion worth it?
A loft conversion is often cited in surveys as the best way to add value to your home. Recent research carried out by the Nationwide Building Society has stated that a loft conversion could add up to 20% to the value of your home.
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.
