Loft conversions Surbiton

Roof Light (Velux) Loft Conversion – A cost-effective and uncomplicated design that doesn’t alter the roof structure. Instead, they incorporate roof windows, typically Velux windows, into the existing roof slope to introduce natural light and ventilation. These conversions are particularly suitable for lofts that already have sufficient head height.

Dormer Loft Conversion – Extending vertically from the existing roof slope, they provide additional floor space and headroom. Typically featuring flat roofs and dormer windows, they notably take the shape of a box but can also have pitched and hipped roofs for design variation. 

Mansard Loft Conversion – Carrying significant modifications to the roof structure, they create substantial living areas. Borrowing from the French Baroque style, they feature a central flat roof with an almost vertical wall that slopes at 72 degrees. 

L-shaped Loft Conversion – integrate two dormers positioned at right angles. The dormers constructed on the main and rear roofs appear like an L. These optimise space in Victorian properties with rear outriggers and can create two rooms, ideal for an en suite. A half-rear dormer offers the potential for balcony space.

Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion – Well-suited for properties with hipped roofs, this method involves replacing the sloping ends (hips) with vertical walls (gables) to increase the head height. This approach generates more usable space within the loft, hindered by the hip ends of the roof.

Loft conversions in Surbiton offer a convenient solution for upsizing your home for your growing family and needs. They also improve your home’s energy efficiency with a well-insulated loft. Sometimes, an additional bedroom or bathroom can make a world of difference, from enhancing the comfort of your home life to improving the property value. 

However, it all depends on the quality of the addition. Your loft conversion must comply with current building regulations and planning permission. Failing to do so will cause numerous problems, from demolitions to prosecutions. Getting the help of a reliable and reputable loft conversion company is essential to your project’s success.

Factors that restrict PD rights include your property’s location, grade, and the scale and characteristics of the proposed conversion. We can assist you with planning permission when required.
