Dormer Loft Conversions: This popular option involves extending the existing roof structure to create additional head height and floor space. Ideal for adding a spacious and functional room, dormer loft conversions are perfect for semi-detached and detached homes. This type of conversion is particularly beneficial if you need more room and want to enhance your home’s living space.
Roof Light Loft Conversions (Velux): Utilising Velux windows, roof light loft conversions are a fantastic way to brighten your loft space with natural light while keeping the existing roof structure largely unchanged. This option is great for those who want to maintain a low profile and avoid extensive structural changes, making it an excellent choice for conservation areas and designated areas.

Benefits of a Loft Conversion

More Usable Space

Perhaps the most obvious benefit of having a loft conversion is the fact that it increases the amount of usable space you have in your home. You can use your loft conversion to create an additional room for an older child or if you need home office space. It may even be you just want to create a larger and more luxurious bathroom. Whatever extra space you need, a loft conversion can make it possible.

Save Money

Spending money on a loft conversion may not sound like it will save you money. Although it will cost you a considerable investment initially, it will save you money in the long run. Particularly, as we highlighted above, the main reason many people have loft conversions is to increase the amount of space they have in their homes. The alternative to having a loft conversion or another form of extension is, of course, moving house. With moving house there are lots of additional costs like the estate agency and solicitor fees, stamp duty and removals. When you have a loft conversion, you don’t need to worry about any of that.

Design and Create the Space of Your Dreams

As well as giving you more habitable and usable space, investing in a loft conversion also allows you the opportunity to design and create the space of your dreams. It can be used for anything you want, from home office to extra bedroom or large and spacious bathroom.

Increase the Value of Your Home

As well as saving you money in the long run, a loft conversion is likely to make you money when it comes to selling up. You need to be careful in the design and construction stages, but if the loft conversion adds to your home, it will help increase its market value.

Uses of Loft Conversions

We have already touched upon the fact that you can use a loft conversion for virtually any type of additional room. For some inspiration of the possibilities of what you can do with loft conversions check out the ideas listed below.
