Loft Conversions Specialists

There’s no doubt that a loft conversion offers a great way to add value to your home but to ensure you get the most from your investment, it’s important to choose the best type of conversion for your home. There are four main types of loft conversion: roof light, dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard. The best type for your home will depend on the shape and height of your roof, whether your home is detached, semi-detached or terraced, your budget, and any local planning restrictions or requirements.

Types of Loft Conversion

Conversion Options

Roof light conversions in Stroud

Pros:

  • Planning permission isn’t required in most cases
  • Roof light loft conversions are the cheapest option
  • Minimal disruption/construction work required
  • Get the extra space you need at a fraction of the cost of moving house

Cons:

  • The finished space might be less versatile compared to a full conversion, depending on the height of your roof
  • This type of conversion might not allow for value-boosting ‘extras’ such as an en-suite bathroom

Roof light conversions otherwise known as velux loft conversions are by far the cheapest and least disruptive option, as you won’t have to make any changes to the shape or pitch of the roof. Instead, it’s simply a case of adding in skylight windows, laying down a proper floor and adding a staircase to make the room habitable. However, you’ll need to have enough roof space already without having an extension for this type of conversion.

Dormer Loft Conversions Stroud

Pros:

  • Planning permission isn’t required in most cases
  • A dormer provides maximum headroom, helping to create a versatile space with lots of room
  • Dormer windows or French doors coupled with a glass balcony allow natural light to flood the space
  • A great investment which will add value to your home whilst enhancing your lifestyle
  • There’s a dormer out there to suit all types of home: from Georgian and Victorian, through to pre-war and contemporary

Cons:

  • Flat roof dormers are perfect for providing lots of extra space, however they sometimes don’t have the same aesthetic appeal of other types of loft conversions

Dormer loft conversions are an extension that protrudes from the slope of the roof. Dormers, in particular flat-roof dormers, are the most popular type of conversion. They’re suitable for pretty much any home with a sloping roof. Dormer conversions are less expensive than mansard or hip-to-gable conversions, but will still add a good deal of extra headroom and floor space.

Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversions Stroud

Pros:

  • A fantastic way to create lots of space which is ideal for anything from an extra bedroom and bathroom, through to a home office or even a gym!
  • Ideal for detached, semi-detached homes or bungalows
  • Better value than an external extension and cheaper than moving house
  • Add value to your home

Cons:

  • If you’ve already added other permitted development extensions to your home (e.g. a conservatory or rear extension), we might need to assist you with planning permission
  • If roof space is limited, it might be necessary to consider other options

Hip to Gable loft conversions will only work on detached or semi-detached houses, as it requires a free sloping side roof. If you have a detached house with sloping roofs on either side, you can build on both of these to create an even more spacious double hip-to-gable extension.

Mansard Loft Conversions Stroud

Pros:

  • Create a huge, versatile space, flooded with natural light
  • Add value to your home
  • Get the space you need without having to move house
  • Suitable for the majority of homes

Cons:

  • Planning permission is often required for this type of loft conversion
  • The services of a structural engineer may be required to check that the existing structure can cope with the extra strain – we can arrange this for you

Mansard loft conversions run along the whole length of your roof and will alter the angle of the roof slope, making it almost vertical. These tend to be the most expensive type of conversion, but will result in a significant amount of extra space. Mansard conversions are suitable for most property types, including terraced, semi-detached and detached houses.
