Get Started

Types of Lofts

Here are the various types of loft conversions

01.

Dormer Loft Conversions

A Dormer loft conversion is when a box-like structure is added onto the property's pitched roof creating walls that site at a 90 degree angle to the floor. Dormer conversions are ideal for almost all types of properties, including terraced, semi-detached and detached.

02.

Hip to gable Loft Conversions

The Hip to Gable loft conversion is most common for semi-detached or detached properties that have a hipped roof. The hip is extended up vertically from the ridgeline to create the gable wall and a Rear dormer is installed to the rear of the property.

03.

Rooflight or Velux Loft Conversions

A Velux loft conversion is one of the easiest and cheapest loft conversions. No dormer is added to the roof as the construction takes place within the pitch of the existing roof. This only works if you have ample headroom within your existing loft.

04.

L Shaped Dormer Loft Conversions

An L-shaped Dormer Conversion is where two dormers are connected at right angles to each other. One dormer is built on the rear outrigger roof and the other one on the main house roof, thereby giving what we instantly recognise as the L-shaped Loft.

05.

Mansard Dormer Loft Conversions

A Mansard loft conversion is mostly built to the rear of your property and has a horizontal roof with a vertical back wall of 72 degrees. This sort of Loft conversion creates the maximum amount of space to add several rooms and bathrooms.

06.

Bungalow Loft Conversions

A Bungalow loft conversion offers fantastic conversion and extension potential. Bungalows usually have large floor plans and endless possibilities, we can usually build two or three bedrooms and a bathroom in the untapped space above your bungalow.

07.

Flats/Apartments Loft Conversions

A loft conversion in a Flat is the best and only way to gain that extra living space. We highly advise to check with your leaseholder, freeholder or management company and local planning authority before you venture into converting your loft.

08.

Small-window Dormer

A small-window Dormer conversion is usually found in properties within the conservation area. This conversion offers a decent amount of additional headroom and can be a great way to add extra living space within the loft

Design to Build Loft Conversions

Building Regulations and Planning

Before starting your loft conversion, you must know the building regulations to which your loft conversion must adhere. The building regulations cover safety, strength of the loft floor, head space available, any fire escapes, energy efficiency, plumbing, window glazing and electrics. The building regulations can be completed by the architect you hire or by us, who can assist you in design and build. Most loft conversions are classed as permitted development, meaning no planning permission is needed.

The Loft Criteria

If your property is terraced, you can add a maximum of 40 cubic metres of additional roof space; however, this is 50 cubic metres for semi-detached and detached properties. No extension is to be added beyond the plane of the existing roof slope to the front of the property, and no extension is to be higher than the existing roof's highest part. All the side-facing windows are obscured and open 1.7m above the loft floor. The Roof extensions must be at least 20cm from the original eaves. Hip to gable conversion is an exception. Loft conversions are not permitted within the conservation areas.

Perfect Design for your Loft

Before starting the Loft conversion work, you need to consider the layout you need. In other words, where the bathroom will be, storage places, where to place the bed, etc, if you're planning an ensuite, you must consider the height and the internal spaces so that you can perfectly place the shower and handbasin, which cannot compromise on headspace. Another factor to consider during the early stages is the location of the stairs. Go through all the possibilities to get the maximum space for your loft conversion.

Why Convert your Loft in Barnet?

Here are some reasons why you need to convert your Loft in London:

No Planning Permission - Most Loft Conversions do not require Planning Permission unless you are completely altering the structure of the roof or live in a conservation/heritage area. A loft conversion is the fastest and stress-free way of adding extra living space to your property.

Increased Property Value - One of the biggest reasons to convert your Loft is the amount of value it adds to your existing home. A recent study by Nationwide showed on average a Loft conversion can add up to 25% to your property value. Since a loft conversion is far cheaper than an extension, the increased value will outweigh the initial costs so all in all converting your loft is a great return on investment.

More Space - A loft conversion guarantees you and your family will have lots of living space. You can use the loft as a bedroom, office, gym, study, or hobby room. Whatever you choose, we know your home will feel much bigger when you use the additional space in your loft.

Save your outdoors—A Loft Conversion is built upwards rather than outwards, which means you can add extra living space to your property, thereby saving your garden. If you have a big garden, then there is no problem, but if you have a small garden, we strongly suggest building upwards to add the much-needed extra space.

Growing Family—Whether you have kids or are planning to have them, you will need an extra room. Most families tend to look to relocate for more living space, which can cause a lot of stress and disruption to family life. An ideal solution is to convert your loft into an extra room. This will allow you to extend your home without the stress and stay in the home that you have become attached to.

Insulation - As you must know, heat rises and is lost in many properties through the roof. A loft conversion can fix this,as the attic walls will be reinforced and the floor and ceiling will become insulated. A loft conversion will help lower your energy bills for the rest of your home.

Quick—Compared to an extension, a loft conversion can be completed in as little as four weeks. It is a less disruptive way to add extra living space and has the least interference in your day-to-day life. Most of the work takes place in the attic, so you won't have to deal with any dust or materials going through your house.

Natural Light - As the loft conversion will be the highest room on your property, it can help in bringing much more sunlight into your home. Installing your new windows in the right places allows you to fill this room with natural light and enjoy the sun.

What type of Loft Conversion is right for your Barnet home?

Choosing the correct loft conversion for your Barnet home depends on a few key things — the age of the property, the shape and size of your roof, and what you’d like to use the space for. That’s where our experience comes in.

At Loft Conversion Barnet, we’ve worked on a wide range of homes across the area — from Victorian terraces near High Barnet to 1930s semis in East Barnet and everything in between. Our team knows what works where, and we’re here to guide you through the options with clarity and simplicity, eliminating guesswork and jargon.

We start by visiting your home for a complete survey, where we take the time to understand your property’s structure and your personal goals. From there, we’ll walk you through the best loft conversion types for your space, whether that’s a rear dormer to add a large double bedroom and bathroom, or a hip-to-gable conversion that gives you full headroom and floor space in homes with sloping sides.

We don’t just build to a formula; your conversion will be carefully designed around your needs. During the design phase, we’ll help you shape the layout, select materials, and plan the space's flow so it suits your lifestyle perfectly.

Whether you’re planning a family bedroom, a peaceful study, or a future-proof guest suite, we’re here to help you make the right decision for your home and build it to the highest standard, from start to finish.
