What Are The Different Types Of Loft Conversions?
The type of loft conversion that you can create depends on the type of house that you live in. The area you live in will also determine what sort of planning permission is required. You can include, bathrooms, wet rooms or stunning natural light designs and much more.
There are 4 main types of loft conversions that can be done: Dormer Loft Conversion, Hip to Gable Loft Conversion, Mansard Loft Conversion and Velux Loft Conversion. Each has advantages and disadvantages depending on which type will work best with your existing house structure.
Dormer Loft Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are another popular type of loft conversion. They are a great way to expand your house at a low cost.
The roof’s sloped side is altered to make vertical walls, and a flat roof to increase the room’s underhead height. If you are tall, you will feel more at home in your loft. This type of Loft conversion is generally eligible under your permitted developmental rights.
Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion
You might be apprehensive about this type of conversion, but it’s actually very simple. A hip to gable loft conversion consists of raising one portion of the roof’s hip so that the room has more space underneath.
It is possible to create a new vertical walls from the existing gables, giving rise to significant height gains.
Mansard Style Loft Conversion
The mansard loft conversion completely replaces one half of a property’s roof, to give it an additional floor. However, the roof structure on the opposite side is preserved.
This method of converting your loft is more aesthetic than a traditional dormer extension, as it blends into the existing structure.
Because of their extensive nature and real added space, Mansard loft conversions are a great way to increase the value of your home. Because of the extensive restructuring involved, they will require a full planning permission application from your Local Planning Authority.
Velux Loft Conversion
This is the most straightforward way to convert your loft. Because they do not require any roofing changes, roof windows are extremely popular. You can leave your roof structure as is and simply fit a skylight into the roof’s lining. Natural light will make your attic more useful as the Velux window acts like a skylight.
What Type Of Loft Conversion Would Be Best Suited For My Calverley Home?
Not all loft conversions will work for every home. Mansard lofts can be used for detached and semi-detached homes. Velux lofts and dormer conversions work for all types of properties.
Also, hip to-gable loft conversions suit semi-detached, detached, or end-terraced properties for the same reasons.

Loft Conversion Services Frequently Asked Questions
Is a loft conversion tax deductible?
If you were converting a new room such as an extension or loft conversion, you can also claim tax relief through capital allowances on items such as insulation, electrical wiring and plumbing.
Do you have to raise a roof for a loft conversion?
A 'stick' framed roof offers you room to expand into a conversion whereas a 'truss' framed roof usually means you need to add height before a conversion can take place. This is why many turn to a roof lift and whilst most can be raised, it's still important to note that this isn't a possibility for all.
Do I need permission to build a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions are considered permitted development, which means you won't need to get planning permission as long as the building work fits certain criteria. So, if you're looking to get a simple conversion with roof windows, you generally don't need to worry (but it's best to check).
Can a Neighbour object to a loft conversion?
Your neighbours may reject your loft conversion plans due to noise, light, or privacy concerns, which will be taken into consideration by the council. If your planning permission is rejected, you can either appeal or amend your plans, keeping in mind the reasons for rejection.
What is the simplest loft conversion?
The simplest loft conversion is to install Velux windows between the existing rafters within the sloped roof – without making any changes to your roofline. You need to have a high enough ridge line so that you have ample headroom and can make good use of the available floor space.
