Roof Light or Velux Conversion

Converting your existing loft space without changing the existing shape of your property. Adding velux windows to create natural light and ventilation. This option is generally adequate for those contemplating the smaller loft conversion, generally for a single bedroom; study etc, where adequate height is available within the existing loft space. Rooflights can then be installed with a minimum of disruption

Dormer

An extension to your roof that gives you more headroom and greater loft space. Dormers can be placed on the rear, front or side of the property. Rear dormers are the most popular. Dormers can accommodate windows and French doors. Velux windows can be placed on the front of the roof creating natural light and ventilation to all rooms.

This option is where the existing loft space is of insufficient size for the proposed conversion, it creates additional headroom for the staircase and new room or rooms contemplated. If an additional bathroom is proposed along with the rooms the increased height created by the Dormer provides additional height above the fittings.

Mansard

This type of conversion is generally designed within the inner London Areas, where clients are following the Mansard trend of similar conversions within their locality. This type of conversion was the preferred design a number of years ago, and would most likely be the preferred option from a planning perspective in sensitive areas

Hip to Gable

Extend your existing hip ended roof into a gable ended roof gives more headroom and greater loft space.
A rear dormer can also be erected to this type of conversion.
