Dormer Loft Conversions
A box shaped structure is added onto a pitched roof
an extension to the existing roof that projects vertically from a sloping roof, creating additional floor space and headroom within the property. Dormer loft conversions are one of the most popular types of loft conversion and are suitable for most types of houses. They can have different roof styles, such as flat, pitched or gabled
Lots of useable internal space
Cost-effective
Can accommodate windows or French doors
Hip To Gable Conversion
Changing the sloping side of the roof (the hip) into a flat gable end, extending the ridge to meet the new gable
Hip to gable conversions are ideal for semi-detached or detached houses with a hipped roof. They can also be combined with a rear dormer to create an L-shaped loft conversion
Considerable headroom and floor space
Enhanced appearance and value of the property
Can be done under permitted development in most cases
Mansard Loft Conversion
Replacing the entire roof with a new structure that has a flat roof and a back wall sloping inwards
Mansard loft conversions are suitable for terraced or semi-detached houses, especially those with a period style. They are often considered the best way to extend upwards in style and create a whole additional floor

Allows for more design flexibility and natural light
Roofline Loft Conversion
Installing roof windows fitting flush to the existing roof line, without altering the shape or structure of the roof
Roofline loft conversions are the simplest and cheapest type of loft conversion. They are perfect for lofts where there is already a good amount of headroom or where there are planning constraints.

Minimises disruption and construction time
Natural ventilation and daylight through the roof windows
L Section Conversion
Creating an L-shaped dormer at the rear of the property, extending over both the main roof and the rear outrigger
L section conversions are ideal for mid-terrace period properties with a lack of loft space. They can usually comfortably add two bedrooms and a bathroom or en-suite.

More design options and layout possibilities
Can be done without planning permission in some cases
