Loft Conversions South Woodford

Velux Loft Conversion – also called a Rooflight conversion, it’s compatible with lofts with sufficient head height. It doesn’t undergo any structural modifications to the roof. This type of conversion relies on installing roof windows, often high-efficiency Velux windows, to bring in natural light to the loft space, as well as views and ventilation. Velux conversions are known for being relatively straightforward, quick, and less disruptive compared to other options. They offer versatility, allowing the creation of bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, studios, or playrooms within the converted space.

Dormer Loft Conversion – it involves extending the existing roof upwards to increase headroom in the loft area. This type of conversion usually entails constructing a vertical box-shaped extension that protrudes from the roof. Dormers offer a greater amount of usable space compared to roof light conversions and enable the installation of dormer windows, which bring in natural light. The rear and side dormers are the most frequently chosen type of dormer conversion.

L-shaped Loft Conversion – often incorporated into Victorian terraced or semi-detached homes, this type of loft conversion joins two dormers to form an L-shape. Typically, one dormer is positioned on the rear outrigger while the other sits on the main roof. An L-shaped conversion is ideal for creating a master bedroom with an en suite.

Hip-to-Gable Conversion – this loft conversion allows you to improve head height and floor space in hipped roof lofts. A hipped roof curbs a lot of space due to its design. By replacing the hip end of the roof with a gable wall that reaches the height of the roof ridge, the floor space below will have more headroom for functional living areas.
