A dormer is a popular option for increasing usable space. It adds a box-shaped structure to your roof, giving more height, light, and room for features like a bathroom or double bedroom.

Ideal for modest homes or conservation areas, this option gives added space without altering your roofline too much. It’s perfect for smaller attic layouts needing a smart upgrade.

This style stretches across the whole rear roof, providing a wide, open plan feel. It’s great for creating a master suite, home office, or large living space.

Combining two dormers, this design creates more floor space and flexibility. It suits 1930s homes with rear additions and allows for bold options.

A rear dormer extends the slope of the roof backwards, giving you room for new functions like a guest bedroom or kids’ playroom.

A pitched dormer (gabled dormer) has its little sloping roof. This traditional style looks like a miniature house poking out of your roof. Pitched dormers can be at the rear or sides.

A hip-to-gable conversion takes the sloping “hip” end of your roof and extends it out to a full-height wall, converting it into a “gable.” This literally straightens a slanted end. The result is extra width and height in the loft, increasing floor space and headroom.

A mansard involves rebuilding one side of your roof at a steeper angle. It offers the most interior space and a bold look that can greatly enhance your property value.

The simplest and most cost-effective option. It uses velux windows to bring in natural light without changing the roof structure. Ideal when full structural alterations aren’t required.
