Loft Conversions
Mansard
A mansard loft conversion, named after the 17th-century French architect Francois Mansard, is situated to the rear of the property. The nature of the mansard conversion means that, unlike hip-to-gable extensions, they are suitable for terraced housing as well as detached and semi-detached properties.
Full Dormer
Perhaps the most common type of full dormer are the ones extending nearly the full width of the house. In the front or back, this type of full dormer extends interior space without adding to the footprint of the building. It has been very popular since the 1960s to the present.
Hip to Gable
A hip-to-gable loft conversion involves developing the sloping (hipped) roof of a property into a new vertical gable wall. This type of loft conversion turns the sloping part of the roof into a vertical wall making it the same height as the rest of the roof.
L Shaped Dormer
Perfect for victorian-styled houses, L-shaped loft dormer conversions create the maximum amount of space which allows owners to add a separate and fully-featured space to to their home.
Single Dormer
A single dormer loft conversion is built out of the existing slope of the roof; it is an extension of the existing roof that allows extra additional floor and headroom in lofts having limited space. It is an addition, to the existing roof, it’s like a box-shaped structure added onto a pitched roof, creating the walls that are vertical to the slope and 90 degrees to the floor.
