LOFT CONVERSION Walton-on-Thames

Hip to Gable Rear Dormer Conversions – Perfect for semi-detached properties with an existing hipped roof. This type of conversion extends the hip up to the ridgeline to create a gable, with a rear dormer added. This maximizes floor space and head height.

Side Dormer Conversions – Much like the Rear Dormer, but placed at the side of the property. For detached houses, there might be an option for two side dormers. The roof of these dormers is usually flat but could be pitched or crowned depending on local planning rules.

Rear Dormer Conversions – An extension of the current roof that provides extra floor space and headroom. These conversions usually have square, vertical sides and a flat roof but can be customized to match the size and style of your property, as well as any planning constraints.

Piggyback Conversions – By raising the existing peripheral walls and adding a new roof, this conversion dramatically boosts head height and living space. It’s the perfect option if you’re looking to add multiple rooms like two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Mansard Conversions – Externally similar to the Rear Dormer, Mansards have a face sloping at 70 degrees. While this type might have slightly less head height and floor space inside, Mansards offer an aesthetically pleasing exterior. This conversion is common in terraced properties in Central London.

L-Shape Dormer Conversions – Much like a Rear Dormer but with an added outrigger at the back of the property. This conversion extends over an existing first-floor bathroom or bedroom. While not possible for all properties, it’s typically found in those from the Victorian and Edwardian era. It provides a large amount of living space with the same or slightly reduced head height due to local planning policies.

Velux Conversions – Built within the current roof slope with only Velux roof lights added externally, this conversion is ideal for detached properties with a large existing head height, such as bungalows.

Pitched Dormer Conversions – Ideal for properties with a large existing roof space, these aesthetically pleasing conversions provide additional headroom that could accommodate features such as new loft stairs.
