Our professional team specialises in home extensions and renovations, with particular emphasis on heritage homes and architecturally unique properties. You are in luck if you want a loft conversion for a house built before 1960. It will be easier to create a clean, open space due to the house’s simpler roof structures and thicker beams, which can support loft conversions and extensions with less structural alteration.
Normally, the cost will be less than what an attic renovation will add in value, therefore allowing you to enjoy a more spacious living area while boosting your property equity.
When the roof pitch is at least 30 degrees, the easiest, fastest, and most straightforward option is Roof Light or Velux loft conversion. In this type of conversion, the existing roof gets fitted with roof windows to the front and rear slopes, allowing natural light into the space without any extensions or changes in the external roof shape.
A hip roof restricts the ceiling height, causing a few drawbacks when making a room in the loft. With Hip to Gable, we can extend the sloping hip end of the roof out so it appears as a gable roof while leaving the majority of the roof as is. With this type of loft conversion, you may even add an additional window to the back of your new room.
The most common loft conversion, by far, is the dormer conversion. Provided it can be done via a side or rear extension, it normally provides minimal change in appearance to the front of the property with a magnificent outlook to the rear.
The Mansard loft conversions are flat roof extensions where the rear slopes backward a steep 70 degrees to enable the insetting of much smaller dormer windows. This, in turn, provides less structural compromise since it can retain the quality of the space, giving you a huge area not so different from an additional storey extension.
The L-shaped loft conversion is the granddaddy of all conversions, combining different loft conversion styles into one comprehensive home extension. Don’t hesitate to consult with us to explore whether this loft conversion type or idea is suitable for your home.
