The types of Loft Conversions that we work in -
Dormer loft conversions are a popular choice in Edgware. Extending from the rear roof slope, a dormer increases head height and usable floor space, transforming a restrictive loft into a comfortable, functional room. This conversion is especially effective for Edgware’s 1930s semi-detached homes, where limited loft height and generous roof width allow for a well-proportioned extension. Best for: 1930s semi-detached houses, family homes requiring an extra bedroom or home office, and properties with limited head height.
Many Edgware homes feature hipped roofs, where the side slopes inward. A hip to gable conversion replaces this with a vertical gable wall, significantly increasing the loft’s usable width. Combined with a rear dormer, this approach can transform the loft layout, making it suitable for larger bedrooms and bathrooms instead of just storage or occasional use. Best suited for: Semi-detached and end-of-terrace homes in areas such as Deansbrook and Burnt Oak, particularly where roof space is narrow or awkward.
A Velux loft conversion, or roof light conversion, is the simplest way to utilize an existing loft. The roof structure remains unchanged, with roof windows added for natural light, along with floor strengthening, insulation, and full building regulation compliance. In Edgware, this option is often selected when the loft has sufficient head height and homeowners seek a cost-effective solution without external alterations. Best for: Homes with adequate loft height, limited budgets, or where planning constraints restrict structural changes.
An L-shaped dormer loft conversion is ideal for properties with an existing rear extension. One dormer is constructed on the main roof and another above the extension, joined to form an “L” shape. This layout creates a spacious, flexible loft area that can accommodate multiple rooms, often allowing for two bedrooms and a bathroom without feeling cramped. Best for: Houses with rear additions, larger family homes, and properties where maximizing usable space is a priority.
A mansard loft conversion rebuilds the rear roof slope at a steep angle with a flat roof on top. Although more complex than other types, it creates a full-height loft that feels like a natural extension of the house. In Edgware, mansard conversions are typically chosen by homeowners seeking the largest possible space and willing to undertake a full planning process. Best for: Larger properties, homes near main roads or transport links, and situations where maximising floor area is the priority.
Edgware features many bungalows, especially in quieter residential areas, that are well-suited to loft conversions. Converting a bungalow loft adds bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs while keeping the ground floor open and flexible. As bungalow roofs often span the full width of the property, these conversions can provide substantial living space when designed effectively. Best for: Single-storey homes where ground-floor space is fully utilised, and long-term adaptability is important.
