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 have become a very popular choice of conversions in the UK. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.
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 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
You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very simple. 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.
From the existing gable, a vertical wall is constructed. This allows for substantial room height improvements.
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.
Mansard loft conversions will add the most value and space to your home due to the nature of the work and the extra space. Because of the extensive restructuring involved, they will require a full planning permission application from your Local Planning Authority.
Roof Window Or Velux Loft Conversion
This is the easiest way to convert your loft. Roof windows are very popular as they don’t require any roof restructuring. The framework is left intact. You simply need to fit a skylight inside the roof’s membrane. 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?
Not all loft conversions will work for every home. 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 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.
