Loft Conversions

Glossary of Terms for Loft Conversions

Rear Dormer

A Rear Dormer is the most common type of loft conversion and will create maximum floor space and height. Bespoke Lofts Ltd will tailor the design to suit your particular needs and wishes. It is often possible to construct a rear dormer without need for planning permission.

Hip-to-Gable

A Hip-to-Gable conversion will involve changing the sloping side of your property. This may often be a better alternative to a side dormer and in many cases will create more space.

Side Dormer

Semi-detached houses with hip to gable sloping side roofs may need a Side Dormer. This is usually an option when planning permission is required.

Mansard Roofs

With a Mansard Roof the roof angle will be changed to 70 degrees to create the maximum possible space. The exterior finish is matched to the existing roof. This type of conversion is usually constructed where planning permission is required or your property falls within a conservation area.

Velux Conversions
