Type of conversion
Flat roof Dormer
Flat roof Dormer(picture attached)- This is the most common type of loft conversion, and involves building a new dormer from scratch which maximises the amount of space you can add to your new loft. Another type of dormer is the L shape dormer which is common on older properties

Pitch roof dormer
This is another type of dormer conversion, instead of a flat roof we build a pitched roof to then re use tiles to match in with the existing roof structure.Another type of dormer is the L shape dormer which is common on older properties
Hip to gable
This type of conversion is perfect for homes with a hip roof, as it involves converting the hip roof into a gable roof. Hip to gables are a brilliant way of unlocking more space in a loft by fitting more rafters and extending the roof. Another type of dormer is the L shape dormer which is common on older properties

Velux conversion
Velux conversion- A velux conversion doesn’t change the look of the exterior of your home other than the roof windows themselves. This can be a great option for anyone looking for extra living space, as it can make the new loft feel more spacious and inviting. It can also add value to your home if you ever decide to sell.
