Types of Loft Conversion

There are four main types of loft conversion that someone can do:

1. Roof Window conversion – which is putting a window in the roof and renovating the space
2. Dormer conversion – which is a window-featured extension to the loft. This is more popular because it provides more head room and when done professionally it can  improve the aesthetics.
3. Hip to gable loft conversion- when a sloped roof section is is lifted and made into a box section adding more useable space and head room
4. Mansard conversion – This can be prefered in conservation areas.
