What Are The Different Types Of 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. 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. These loft conversions can usually be made under your permitted development rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
Although it might sound strange, this type of conversion is actually much simpler than you may think. A hip-to–gable loft conversion simply involves the raising of one roof hip to provide more space below the floor.
To increase the room height, a new vertical wall can be built from an existing gable.
Mansard Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion completely replaces one half of a property’s roof, to give it an additional floor. However, the roof structure on the opposite side is preserved.
This method is more pleasing to the eye than a dormer addition because it fits in the existing house structure.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. You will need to submit a full application for planning permission to your Local Planning Authority due the significant restructuring they entail.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the simplest method of converting your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. Your roof frame will stay the same, so all you need to do is insert a skylight directly into your roof’s covering. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.
Which Type Of Loft Conversion Is More Suitable For My Home?
Not all loft conversions will work for every home. Mansard lofts convert semi-detached to detached homes better, whereas dormer and velux lofts work for all types of properties.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.

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.
