Dormer Loft Conversion - All you need to know

What is a dormer loft conversion?

This is one of the most common types of loft conversion that one might notice in Richmond. It is considered ideal for homes that have a semi-detached or terraced built-up area. It can be easily spotted in a house because of the box-like protrusion that it causes from the roof of the house in which it is installed.

Because of the vertical extensions that it involves, it creates more headspace and floor space. Most of the work involved in its construction can be carried from outside the house, resulting in minimal disruption. It is also one of the cost-effective methods of loft conversion.

Types of dormer conversions

There is a range of styles that one can opt for if they choose dormer loft conversions. They are,

  • Flat roof dormer
  • Shed dormer
  • L shaped dormer
  • Dog shaped dormer or a Gable Front Dormer
  • Pitched roof dormer

Do dormer conversions require planning permissions?

In the majority of the cases, dormer conversions can be done without the requirement of planning permission. You are most likely to be within the limits of permitted developments, as dormer conversions normally require renovations to the rear or side of the property.

However, if you decide to get a dormer conversion in the front of your house, you will have to get planning permission for the same as it involves construction and blockage of the main road. The size of the dormer, the type of dormer conversion, the type of property that you live in, etc, are all deciding factors of whether you need planning permission or not.

Mansard Loft Conversion - All you need to know

A mansard loft conversion involves the construction process at the rear end of the house and requires the construction of the entire roof plane. It is one of the largest conversions and involves the removal of only one side of the pitched roof to allow the building of a vertical wall that extends to the apex of the sloped roof.

It transforms the slope of the roof to an angle of 72 degrees, and the new structure has windows known as small dormers. The new structure built is big enough to support the construction of two big rooms as well.

Mansard loft conversions are suitable for all types of properties including, detached, semi-detached, bungalows, and terraced houses.

Types of mansard loft conversions
Some of the common types are,

  • L shaped mansard conversion
  • Double mansard
  • Dormer mansard loft conversion

Are planning permissions required?
Mansard loft conversions alter the entire roof structure of the house, therefore, require planning permission before the initiation of the construction. This conversion creates maximum space in your house by creating an extra storey, and due to the consequent changes in the roof, it requires planning permission consent from the local authorities.

What is the cost of a mansard loft conversion?
The property’s size is one of the most significant factors that decide the cost of a mansard conversion. This conversion is not possible without bringing major changes to the structure of the house, and thus, this process is more expensive than most of the other options. The starting cost is around £ 40,000 and can increase based on all the designing and finishing that one gets.

Velux Loft Conversion - All you need to know

What is a Velux loft conversion?
In this type of conversion, the size and structure of the roof remain unchanged, instead, there is the addition of windows into the rafters. The size of windows can depend upon your wish and the size of the loft.

It is one of the simplest and cheapest options of loft conversion and also causes minimum disruption compared to other options. These are best suited when there is sufficient headroom space available.

Is planning permission required?
Since there is the addition of only windows in the structure of the loft, planning permissions are seldom required. However, if your property is a conservation or heritage site, planning permissions become a must.
