How to plan a loft conversion
Part What kind of conversion do you want ? Three
An L-shaped dormer conversion
This type of conversion is built by connecting two dormers together: one on the main roof, the other on the rear roof. The result is a much larger space, which can be used for either two bedrooms and a bathroom or one large bedroom and bathroom, or a host of other combinations. This type of conversion is particularly popular on period properties.
Hip-to-gable and rear dormer conversion
As the title suggests, this is a combination of the two different types of conversions, resulting in a large and airy space. Planning permission may be required - a big factor to take into consideration for your home improvements.

Skylight conversion
A skylight or VELUX window conversion is one of the simplest and most cost-effective loft conversions to build, because the roof of the property is not altered in any way and only windows are added. This generally means that planning permission is not required. Space however is more restrictive than other types of conversions.
Dormer conversion
This is one of the most popular types of loft conversion as it provides a good amount of head height. It has the ability to add up to 50 cubic metres of extra space to your property. The dormer is usually built out of the slope of the roof and generally does not require planning permission.
