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 rank alongside Velux loft conversions as one of the most sought-after types of conversions in Britain. These are the best method to increase the size of your home for a reasonable 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 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. The hip-to-gable loft conversion is simply the lifting of one hip of the roof to create more space under the ceiling.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
Mansard Style Loft Conversion
Mansard loft conversions completely replace one half of a property’s roof, while keeping the other half’s roof structure.
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. You will need to submit a full application for planning permission to your Local Planning Authority due the significant restructuring they entail.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the most straightforward way to convert your loft. Roof windows are very popular as they don’t require any roof restructuring. 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.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Is Best Suited To My House?
Not every type of loft conversion is suitable for every house. Dormer or Velux, are suitable for all kinds of property. Mansard lofts, however, are better suited for semi-detached or detached homes due to the extra construction space they require.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.

Loft Conversion Services 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.
