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 Style Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are another popular type of loft conversion. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.
The roof’s sloped side is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’s underhead height. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
This may sound complicated, but it is really not. The hip-to-gable loft conversion is simply the lifting of one hip of the roof to create more space under the ceiling.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
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 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.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest way to convert your loft. Because there is no need to modify the roof, adding roof windows is very common. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. As a skylight, the Velux windows will let in natural light which will greatly benefit your attic.
Which Type Of Loft Conversion Is More Suitable For My Home?
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 Conversions Frequently Asked Questions
Can you put a kitchen in a loft conversion?
Kitchen Loft Conversion Designs Not only is floor space at a premium, but wall space too. In the case of a Mansard loft conversion you may be surrounded by sloping walls, but with some precision planning and intelligent design; you can create a vibrant, airy living space with plenty of storage.
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.
