Loft Conversions Wimbledon

Velux Loft Conversion – known also as roof light conversion, it only involves the addition of roof windows to the existing roof slope of the attic space. While roof light conversions generally do not require planning permission, they need a professional architect or loft conversion specialist to ensure compliance with local building regulations and to assess the feasibility of the conversion based on the specific property and its roof structure.

Dormer Loft Conversion – this box-shaped addition is one of the most common types of loft conversion for creating space on a modest budget. It is a box-shaped structure that protrudes vertically from the existing roof slope, often at the rear of the property. Dormers offer functional floor area and headroom. They also feature dormer windows to bring in natural light and enhance the aesthetics of the conversion.

Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion – ideal for the 1930s hipped roof semi-detached and terraced properties, this conversion turns the sloping side of a hipped roof into a vertical gable wall to create more headroom. It maximises the usable floor space in the loft and adequate head height for the staircase.

Mansard Loft Conversion – it extends a whole roof plane to create more headroom and floor space for multiple rooms or a large open-plan living area. Built at the rear of the property, it replaces the entire sloping face of the roof with a near-vertical wall. A double mansard can create a space that seamlessly integrates into the rest of the architecture to appear like a separate floor.

L-shaped Conversion – It is two dormers joined to form an L-shape when viewed from above. The dormers are typically constructed at the rear of the property, extending from the main roof slope. The larger dormer is usually placed perpendicular to the roofline, while the smaller dormer is built at an angle, creating the L-shape configuration.
