Loft conversions all above your head?

London loft conversion can seem daunting, but stay with us for the basics and find out the range of options available to you. A few thousand pounds could cover the cost of fitting a simple roof light and an electricity supply which could transform an existing space into a small study, guest room or bathroom. Here are the main types.

Dormer - rear or side

Not usually needing planning permission and usually the best option with terraced houses, we adapt an existing pitched roof for maximum extra space so you get vertical windows and plenty of extra space plus the extra storage space you get when all the nooks and crannies are made into shelves and cupboards.

Mansard

Instead of a conventional sloping roof we construct one whose angle changes from nearly flat to 70 degrees. This produces one of the closest approaches to a rectangular room, perhaps with a balcony. In the minority of cases where planning permission is required - as in a conservation area - the mansard is often the best option.

Eaves conversion - simple loft conversion windows

An eaves conversion is built within your existing roof space, usually with Velux skylights as loft windows. It is the simplest and cheapest form of loft conversion, though they can create a surprising amount of extra space.

Hip to gable

For semi-detached homes. The sloped roof at the side of the house is extended to the edge where a gable is built. This often provides the opportunity to install rear dormer windows

Shell Conversion

If you like to do things yourself but draw the line at major works such as this, we are happy to help you save money with a shell conversion that allows you to make your own arrangements to finish the job. We are happy to so as much or as little as you like.
