Loft Conversions Morden

Rooflight Conversions – popularly known as Velux Conversions, they turn your loft into a functional space with roof windows, flooring, insulation, a staircase, and finishes. It is the most cost-effective loft conversion method. During a roof light conversion, roof windows get strategically positioned on the roof slope to bring in natural light and ventilation to the converted space. These windows are typically installed flush with the roof surface, allowing for seamless integration with the existing roofline.

Dormer Conversions – they are extensions that project vertically from the plane of a sloping roof to increase the usable space within the loft area. Dormers have more headroom and functional floor area. They get added to the rear or the side of the property. They also use dormer windows and skylights to harness natural light and ventilation. Flat roof dormers are the most common type, while pitched and hipped roofs are also available alternatives.

L-shaped Conversions – generally used for Victorian terraced or semi-detached homes, these combine two dormers sitting at right angles to each other to add extra space. One dormer gets built onto the main roof of the property, and the other, onto the outrigger. Ensuring it blends in with the roof and the property as a whole makes it a seamless addition.

Mansard Conversions – they have a unique elegance borrowed from the French Baroque style. An entire plane of the existing roof gets modified with a 72° wall to create a nearly vertical structure with a flattish roof. The steep roof design maximises headroom and floor space. Although this loft conversion requires significant structural changes, it also creates substantial space. You can add a double mansard to create a separate floor for your home.

Hip-to-Gable Conversions – they replace the sloping side of a hipped roof with a gable wall to achieve more head height and floor space. Hipped roofs are common on semi-detached and end-of-terrace homes, especially those built in the 1930s. These roofs inhibit usable floor space as they restrict headroom. Such properties can benefit from this loft conversion type. Some detached properties also have a hipped roof on either side, which offers the possibility for a double hip to gable loft conversion.

The cost of a loft conversion depends on the type of conversion you require and its extent. Some roofs require structural changes to allow for the necessary head height, while others have the head height suitable for basic conversions like Roofliight conversion.

We are a loft conversion company specialising in Victorian and 1930s homes in London and surrounding areas. With decades of experience transforming spaces, we believe the right concept is essential to creating the right spaces. Our architects and structural engineers draw up technically-precise plans that meet your requirements. We even use 3D plans that help you experience the spaces. Our design stage is separate from the build stage, which offers you leeway to make up your mind about moving to the build stage. We do this to give you the freedom to choose and because we consider both stages equally important. Our conversions adhere to building regulations, and a project manager keeps tabs on quality control and timely completion.

Loft conversions come under permitted development rights, which means you can build without planning permission. However, there are instances when certain conversion designs can exceed the limitations set out. Living in a conservation area or a listed building can also affect your permitted development rights. Our planning specialists will guide you through the specifications and apply for permission on your behalf when your plans require features outside regulation.
