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.

Dormer Style Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions have become a very popular choice of conversions in the UK. These are the most cost-effective way to increase your home’s size.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. Your new loft will make your life easier, especially if you are tall. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental 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 consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.
It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.
Mansard Loft Conversion
A mansard loft is where one half the property’s roof is removed and replaced with a new roof. The other roof structure remains intact.
This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. Because of the extensive restructuring involved, they will require a full planning permission application from your Local Planning Authority.
Velux Loft Conversion
This is the most straightforward way to convert your loft. Because there is no need to modify the roof, adding roof windows is very common. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. The Velux window acts like a skylight, allowing natural light into your attic.
