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 Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are a popular type of conversion in the UK, along with Velux loft conversions. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.
To increase the loft’s height, the roof slope is modified to create vertical walls and a flat roof. Your new loft will make it easier to walk in, especially for tall people. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental 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.
The existing gable is used to build a new vertical wall, which allows for significant room height increases.
Mansard Style 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 conversion is much more beautiful than a dormer extensions because it seamlessly fits into the existing structure of your house.
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.
Velux Or Roof Window Loft Conversion
This is the simplest method of converting your loft. Because roof windows don’t require roof reconstruction, they are very popular. 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 Loft Conversion Is Best For My Home?
All types of loft conversions may not be suitable for every home. Mansard Loft conversions are more suitable for semi-detached and detached homes, whereas velux and dormer lofts work for all types of properties.
For the same reasons, hip-to–gable loft conversions can be used for semi-detached detached and end-terraced homes.

Loft Conversion Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you put stairs for a loft conversion?
Usually, the stairs to your loft conversion are best placed over the existing staircase in terms of convenience and efficient use of space. If this is not possible, a small room or part of a large room may be sacrificed to accommodate the stairs.
What lofts Cannot be converted?
As a general rule, 2.2m from floor to ceiling at its highest point is the threshold for undertaking a loft conversion. If your loft does not meet this requirement, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to raise your pitch roof, since councils very rarely grant permission to do that.
How long does a loft conversion take?
On average, loft conversions can be done in as little as 4 weeks or may take up to 8 weeks, with certain styles less complex than others. Here are the different loft conversion types, broken down by a rough time estimation: Roof light conversions – 4 weeks on average. Dormer conversions – 5 weeks on average.
Can I stay in house during loft conversion?
If you want to stay in your home during a loft conversion, we say it's perfectly possible. You just need to be realistic about the work that will be undertaken.
Can I use my loft as a bedroom?
But when it comes to being a bedroom, a converted loft room cannot be called a bedroom merely because it offers enough space to fit a bed in, or because one has been put in there: a loft needs to be converted for the purposes of being a sleeping area, and in accordance with building regulations, in order to be called a bedroom
