Types Of Loft Conversion

We at Concept Lofts will explain below the six different types of loft conversion that we offer in order to help you understand your options.

Full Rear Dormer

A dormer loft conversion is an extension to the existing roof that projects vertically from a sloping roof, creating additional floor space and headroom within the property. Internally, a dormer has vertical walls and a horizontal ceiling. It is the most common type of loft conversion, as the flat roof dormers often add the maximum amount of additional space.

Pitched Roof Dormer

Pitched Roof Dormer conversions lend themselves to large footprint or high pitched roofs. They are sometimes a requirement as apposed to full rear dormers if you live in a conservation area. A pitched roof dormer makes an attractive feature and depending on your property you could add various pitched roof dormers. Any dormers on the front of a property would require planning permission, but they can be added at the rear under permitted development in most cases.

Velux Conversion

Velux Loft Conversions are also known as rooflight loft conversions. Velux is the leading manufacturer of roof windows, hence the name.

With this type of project, the roof line is unaltered because the Velux windows are installed fitting flush to the existing roof line. A Velux type loft conversion works very well for lofts where there is a good amount of headroom or if there are constraints on planning.

Hip To Gable

Hip To Gable loft conversions add a considerable amount of headroom to a loft, as well as functional floor space. This type of conversion requires the roof to be stripped back to the top of the hip ends, the flank wall built into a gable, and extending the ridge to meet the gable. This type of conversion requires reconstruction of some of the front roof.

Mansard

A mansard loft conversion, named after the 17th-century French Architect Francois Mansard, is situated to the rear of the property. This type of conversion has a flat roof with the back wall sloping inwards at an angle of 72 degrees. Windows are usually housed within small dormers. Mansard loft conversions normally require planning permissions due to large changes to the roof shape and structure.

What Our Clients Say

Rachael Bamford

After obtaining a tonne of quotes, a friend recommended Jake and his team and I'm really pleased they did. Not only was his quote competitive but he did everything that he said he would do and more. All his team are clean, tidy and polite and they also go out of there way to help you with whatever they can. I had been told by other people who had loft conversions to expect something to go wrong or for it to take a lot longer to complete than expected but I am happy to say that not only was it wrapped up within the 4 weeks quoted, but the only thing to go wrong was at our end with the flooring and they even adapted to that to make sure the build stayed on track. We can not recommend them highly enough.
Simon McCullagh

We are so pleased with the results of our loft conversion. From the initial phase through to project end Jake and his friendly team were exceptional and perfectionists ensuring excellent workmanship. Jake offered very good advice regarding design and the conversion project. Nothing was too much trouble, and throughout the works the team were reliable, considerate and always tidied-up at the end of each working day. Concept Lofts were very price competitive and the project was completed within the estimated timescale. We are pleased that we chose Concept Lofts and would definitely recommend them.
Lisa Freedman

Concept lofts were brilliant and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for loft conversions. Jake has excellent attention to detail and great practical advice, his whole team were so friendly and hardworking, finishing the work on time and far quicker than anyone else was quoting to do. We are delighted with the quality of our loft conversion, and have so many compliments on it from anyone that sees it. Thanks so much Jake and all the guys.
Danielle Laws

I highly recommend Concept lofts. The Concept team were professional, hard working, clean and polite. Any queries I had were answered and dealt with swiftly. The project was delivered on time and on budget. The space that we have gained is amazing and has finished our family home off perfectly.
Lois Jackson, Waltham Abbey

Concept Lofts are a professional, reliable company. At the end of each day they ensured the house was tidy and clear of any rubbish or mess. The workmen were all friendly and very polite. The finish of the loft is great and it was great watching how fast it all went up. Top workmanship.
Jordan Bostock, Cheshunt

After obtaining half a dozen quotes and meeting with various companies we decided to go with Concept Lofts. Not only was the quote competitive, but they explained the process really clearly and came up with the most creative suggestions as to what we could do with the space and provided us with the best plans for our needs. The work started when they said it would, was carried out by who they said and they were finished sooner than when they said they would be. The staff were clean (tidying up after themselves), polite and courteous (telling us when there was going to be banging etc. As we have young children). We really couldn’t recommend them highly enough and always offer for them to show other potential customers our loft. On a separate note, we completely underestimated the extra space gained! We wish we had done it years ago!
