whether your loft is suitable to be converted in
the first place. So what do you need to consider?

• Are there important elements such as chimneys or
  lift areas that pass through your roof?
• How much room will a completed loft conversion
  offer you?

Loft Conversion Types

• Roofs come in all shapes and sizes.
• From the lofts of the traditional offer different
  options for loft conversions, providing their own
  benefits and weaknesses. 
• In most cases a dormer loft conversion is carried
  out.

  replaced, and are simply an enhancement of the
  existing structure, extending vertically from the
  roof.

Single Dormer

• With a single dormer conversion, you can create a
  little more space in the loft, but gain a great
  deal more in light.
• In conservation areas, single (or double) dormer
  conversions are most likely to gain approval as
  long as the final visual is in keeping with the
  rest of the property.

L- Shaped Dormer

• The L-shaped dormer loft conversion is only
  applicable to properties of a certain structure.
• These structures without doubt offer the maximum
  amount of space and can often be used to create
  separate rooms.

HIP to Gable

• A hip-to-gable loft conversion is created when
  you take the hips (the sloped edges of the roof)
  and convert them into a gable wall instead. These
  types of loft conversions add a considerable
  amount of headroom to a loft as well as
  functional floor space.

Mansard

• When headroom is a serious concern a mansard loft
  conversion is the go-to solution.
• This will require the removal of one side of your
  roof and incur considerable costs.
• With a mansard conversion, the roofs slope has
  to be 72 degrees or over.
