What Are The Main Types Of Loft Conversions Available?
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 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. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. These loft conversions are usually eligible under your permitted developments rights.
Hip-To-Gable Style Loft Conversion
This may sound complicated, but it is really not. A hip-to gable loft conversion is simply an elevation of one side of the roof’s hip in order to increase the underhead space.
To increase the room height, a new vertical wall can be built from an existing gable.
Mansard Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion is a complete replacement of one side of the roof on a property to make it more spacious. It also preserves the roof structure on the other side.
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. Due to the substantial restructuring they involve, you will need to apply for full planning permission from your local Planning Authority.
Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest method 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.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Would Be Best Suited 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.
The same applies to hip-to-gable lofts. They are best suited for detached, semi-detached and end-terraced houses.

Loft Conversion FAQs
Can you put a kitchen in a loft conversion?

Can a loft be considered a bedroom?

Does an attic conversion affect house insurance?
The increased rebuild value might make your building insurance premiums rise. And if you've had to buy new furniture, fittings and electrical items for your loft conversion, you might also need to increase your contents insurance to make sure these are covered.
Do loft conversions need roof vents?
Ventilation is important because you are changing the loft from a cold roof to a warm roof. What this means is that the loft was once used to expel any damp, however, once you change it, it then becomes a completely different environment. Therefore, a ventilation path is required to encourage the movement of air.
Does a loft conversion need permanent stairs?
Building regulations stipulate that if the loft is to be turned into a bedroom, bathroom, study or playroom, it must have a permanent staircase. Thankfully there are plenty of staircase options available to fit whatever space you have, that look great and won't blow your budget.
