Loft Conversion Types

If you are looking for a loft conversion in Lancashire or the North West, there are a few things to consider. First, you need to look at your options as to what sort of loft conversion you need. Therefore, we have explained the different types of loft conversions available below for you.

Dormer conversions in the North West

Dormer Loft Conversion

The dormer loft conversion is the most popular choice of loft conversion in Lancashire. This is due to the added headspace the vertical extension offers. As the extension protrudes vertically from a sloping roof creating more head and usable floor space. Furthermore, most of the work required for a dormer is completed externally with scaffolding. Therefore, offering minimal disruption in comparison to other conversions.

Velux conversions in the North West

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux loft conversions are the most cost-effective option when it comes to transforming your loft into living space. As they are the simplest loft conversion, they are often the quickest to complete. Without the addition of a dormer, all the work is completed within the pitch of your existing roof. However, as there is no extension to the building, your current loft needs to have a good head height.  

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

This is an ideal option to create more space in your home. The hip to gable loft conversion does just what the name says! It takes the sloping side of your roof known as the hip and converts this into a vertical wall also known as the gable. Thus, opening space both vertically and horizontally for your family to enjoy. In addition, if your roof slopes on both sides we can replace both hips with gable walls. Therefore, creating a whole new floor in your home.

l shaped dormer conversions

L-Shaped Loft Conversion

The L-shaped conversion is probably the best option to extend a mid-terrace property to achieve maximum space. This conversion can often provide an additional 1-2 rooms in your home. Perfect for a new master bedroom and en-suite or possibly a new office for working from home.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard Loft Conversion

The Mansard loft conversion is an aesthetically pleasing extension to any home, old or new. Maintaining a flat roof with an almost straight gradient angled at 72 degrees, it provides the perfect additional living space. The result of such conversion offers a large new open space with the benefit of natural light. The windows are built into the structure as small dormers. Therefore, providing the option of additional Juliet balconies. It is worth bearing in mind that this type of loft conversion often requires the most construction work.
