Types of Loft Conversions
There are a few different types of lofts to consider, velux, dormer and
hip to gable.
The current layout of your loft and any local planning restrictions
will play a big part in the type of loft that you can have.
When we visit your home to carry out a loft survey, we will happily give you honest, straight forward advice about the possibilities for your loft.
Velux Loft Conversion
These types of lofts are the most cost effective way of converting your loft. This type of conversion doesn't alter the structure of your roof line.
Given the fact that you are not changing the structure of the roof means generally planning permission is not required in Bristol.
Dormer loft conversion
Dormer lofts are the more popular types of loft conversion as it helps maximise the amount of head room that you loft can provide.
Typically the dormer is built out of the shape of the roof, and normally these types of lofts do not require planning permission.
Hip to gable
A hip to gable loft conversion involves converting the sloping (hipped) roof, and transforming it into a new vertical gable wall.
Typically this sort of conversion turns the sloping part of the roof into a wall which is then the same height as the top of the roof.
