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 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 is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’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
Although this might seem like a complicated name, it is actually quite simple. A hip to gable loft conversion consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
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 conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. 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 there is no need to modify the roof, adding roof windows is very common. Your roof frame will stay the same, so all you need to do is insert a skylight directly into your roof’s covering. Natural light will make your attic more useful as the Velux window acts like a skylight.
Which Loft Conversion Is Best For My Home?
All types of loft conversions may not be suitable for every home. 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 Conversions FAQs
Is a loft conversion tax deductible?
If you were converting a new room such as an extension or loft conversion, you can also claim tax relief through capital allowances on items such as insulation, electrical wiring and plumbing.
Do you have to raise a roof for a loft conversion?
A 'stick' framed roof offers you room to expand into a conversion whereas a 'truss' framed roof usually means you need to add height before a conversion can take place. This is why many turn to a roof lift and whilst most can be raised, it's still important to note that this isn't a possibility for all.
Do I need permission to build a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions are considered permitted development, which means you won't need to get planning permission as long as the building work fits certain criteria. So, if you're looking to get a simple conversion with roof windows, you generally don't need to worry (but it's best to check).
Can a Neighbour object to a loft conversion?
Your neighbours may reject your loft conversion plans due to noise, light, or privacy concerns, which will be taken into consideration by the council. If your planning permission is rejected, you can either appeal or amend your plans, keeping in mind the reasons for rejection.
What is the simplest loft conversion?
The simplest loft conversion is to install Velux windows between the existing rafters within the sloped roof – without making any changes to your roofline. You need to have a high enough ridge line so that you have ample headroom and can make good use of the available floor space.
