Loft Conversions Dulwich

Rooflight Conversion – also known as a Velux conversion is a type of loft conversion where roof windows or skylights get installed into the existing roof slope of a property’s loft space. These windows introduce natural light into the loft. It is particularly suitable for lofts that already have sufficient head height and don’t require major alterations to the roof structure.

Dormer Conversion – it extends the existing roof vertically, creating additional floor space and headroom within the loft. Dormers usually have a flat or pitched roof and can feature windows, providing more usable space than a roof light conversion. They are a common sight in residential areas in London.

Mansard Conversion – a mansard conversion involves changing an entire roof plane to create a generous space. It features a nearly flat roof with the back wall sloping inwards at an angle of 72 degrees. Mansard conversions often require planning permission due to the significant alterations made to the roof structure. They are suitable for most property types including terraced, semi-detached, and detached homes. 

Hip-to-Gable Conversion – suitable for properties with hipped roofs, it involves replacing the hip of the roof with a gable (a vertical wall). Hipped roofs can inhibit the usable floor area of a home, and this conversion type frees up more habitable space. Extension of the roofline creates additional interior space for a functional living area. 

L-shaped Conversion – two dormers get joined to double up space. One dormer, usually the bigger one, is positioned on the main roof, and the other, often a smaller one, sits on the rear outrigger. The outrigger is a significant feature in a Victorian or Edwardian home. This type of loft conversion maximises space, particularly for a mid-terrace property.

Loft conversions aren’t just space-generating home improvements but also significant additions that increase property value. Elegant designs, space maximisation, and superior construction can give you a high ROI.

They are proficient in local building and planning regulations, so there’s no chance of later lawsuits that can undo hard work.
