Loft Conversions Extensions Renovations New builds
Your unused attic space is a hidden gem waiting to be transformed. A loft conversion is one of the most effective and rewarding home improvements you can undertake.
Top Benefits of Choosing a Loft Conversion
1. Maximise Your Living Space
The most immediate and appealing benefit is the vast amount of extra room a loft conversion provides, all without sacrificing valuable outdoor space.
Create a spacious new master bedroom with an en-suite, a quiet and productive home office, a bright children's playroom, or a dedicated studio.
Gain the space you need without the hassle, high costs, and upheaval of relocating.
Unlike ground-floor extensions, a loft conversion builds up, preserving your cherished garden or patio space.
2. Boost Your Property Value
A well-designed and high-quality loft conversion is a sound financial investment.
A good loft conversion can increase your property's value by as much as 10% to 20%
Homes with extra bedrooms, especially a master suite or dedicated workspace, are highly desirable and stand out in the property market.
3. Enjoy Natural Light and Stunning Views
Loft conversions are uniquely positioned to take advantage of natural light and elevated views.
Strategic window placement floods your new space with sunlight, creating an uplifting and inviting atmosphere.
Being higher up offers a unique vantage point of your local area, making your new room a true retreat with a view.
4. Improve Energy Efficiency
During the conversion process, your roof will be upgraded with modern, high-quality insulation, resulting in a warmer, more efficient home.
Lower Bills
Upgrading insulation drastically reduces heat loss through the roof, keeping your new room – and the rest of your home – comfortable all year round.
Choosing Your Loft Conversion Type
The best conversion for you depends on your existing roof structure, the space you need, and your budget. Here are the most common types in the UK:
1. Rooflight (or Velux) Conversion
The simplest and most cost-effective option, installing windows into the existing roofline without changing its shape. Best for lofts with sufficient existing headroom.
2. Dormer Conversion
A vertical extension of the existing roof, projecting outwards. This box shape significantly increases the floor space and headroom, making it ideal for a full bedroom and en-suite.
3.
Hip-to-Gable Conversion
Transforms a sloping 'hipped' roof end (common on detached or semi-detached properties) into a vertical 'gable' wall, significantly extending the usable area.
4.
Mansard Conversion
The most complex but space-maximising option, altering the entire roof structure to create an almost vertical back wall and flat roof. This can essentially add an entire new storey.
