Dormer
​
A dormer loft conversion involves the construction of a vertical wall from the bottom of the sloped roof, with a flat roof to meet the vertical wall. This type of conversion is one of the most common, as it allows for maximum headroom, and is suitable for most properties.
​
Hip to gable
​
A hip to gable loft conversion involves the sloping or 'hipped' side of the roof being reconstructed to a flat gable end. This type of conversion is suitable for detached and semi-detached properties, as well as chalets and bungalows. 
​
​
 
Mansard
​
A mansard loft conversion involves a significant reconstruction of a roof. Usually at the rear end of a property, a mansard conversion has a flat roof and a back wall that slopes at a 72 degree angle. 
​

Planning permission is required when making changes to your home, depending on what type of loft you are seeking.

 

Dormer loft conversions usually rod not require planning permissions, whereas hip to gable and mansard loft types may need them.
