Services
Dormer Loft Conversion
Dormer conversions extend beyond the existing roof line to create additional headroom and floor space. Flat roof dormers maximise internal volume, while hip or gable-fronted options balance aesthetics and functionality. Ideal for properties requiring significant space expansion.
Hip to Gable Conversion
This conversion replaces a hip-ended roof with a gable end to increase internal volume. Perfect for homes with limited existing space, it involves extending the ridge and constructing a vertical gable wall for improved usability.
Mansard Loft Conversion
Mansard conversions feature a steep 72-degree pitch on one side, often combined with a flat or shallow roof. They require planning permission but offer versatile design options with dormer or Velux windows for natural light.
Velux Loft Conversion
Velux conversions utilise existing roof space without altering the roofline. Natural light is introduced through roof windows, making them typically exempt from planning permission but requiring compliance with building regulations via structural drawings.
