Bungalow Loft Conversions

We offer a range of Loft Conversion types in Bungalow, which include, dormer, mansard, hip to gable, L-shaped and velux loft conversions. Each of this loft type differs in complexity and structural changes to the roof. A Velux is one of the simplest and cost-effective, adding windows to the existing roof. A dormer gives a box-like extension to the roof. A hip-to-gable converts a sloping “hipped” side of a roof into a vertical “gable” end. Mansard loft conversion changes the structure of the roof entirely to create a more usable vertical space. An L-shaped conversion is a combination of two dormers, mostly at the rear of the property. Our team of builders will transform your house, giving you more living space and thereby increasing the value of your property.

Loft Conversion Company For Bungalows

Loft Conversion Company For Bungalows

Bungalows in and around London have become more sought after because of their raw potential, coupled with their relevant rarity. You can make significant changes to your bungalows by having an extension, transforming the loft space, or even constructing a whole new second storey. In general, bungalows built before 1960 have the most extended lofts and also possess load-bearing walls that can sustain the new loft rooms. These conventionally designed bungalows were open, large, and deep-set, which makes it easy to accommodate a loft extension. Their roofs offer a steep pitch, which makes it unlikely to require a dormer window either. As with traditional houses, the minimum obligation to convert a loft into a comfortable space is to have a head height of at least 2.3m at its highest point.
Bungalows Loft Conversions give a higher return on investment as the proportion for floor space gain tends to be much higher. The value added to a bungalow turns out to be more than double the cost of building it.

Is Planning Permission Needed?
If you are wondering about planning permissions, it is easy to deal with as most bungalow loft conversions are under permitted development. However, depending on the magnitude of the project and other factors like its effects on the neighbours, and if your home is in a conservation area or not, planning permission may be needed.

To decide what kind of loft conversion will suit you best, you must look at the shape of your existing roof, your budget constraints, and the permitted development rights. Working with Loft Conversion London’s skilled architect, you will be guided at every step of the way to draw the best plans for your loft.

A simple flat roof dormer - This box-shaped design allows conventional windows to be installed with no dramatic changes required. With proportional light and ventilation, this design gives transcendent internal space and is most suitable for UK houses.

A mansard loft conversion -It is constructed by increasing the party wall which you share with your neighbours. It offers more headroom as compared to other conversions and blends well in traditional bungalows. For more understanding, you can visit our website.
