The types of Loft Conversions that we work in -
If you're running out of space at home, a dormer is probably the first conversion worth looking at. It's the most common type we do in Enfield and for good reason. We build a box-shaped extension out of the rear roof slope. That gives you a flat ceiling, proper windows, and a room that actually feels like a room. Not a storage cupboard, not a cramped attic a proper usable space. Enfield has a lot of semi-detached houses built in the 1930s. These homes tend to have wide roof spans but low loft height and a dormer fixes that problem directly. Best for: 1930s semis, homes needing an extra bedroom or office, and any property where headroom is holding the loft back.
Here's something a lot of Enfield homeowners don't realise your roof shape has a big impact on how much loft space you can actually use. If your home has a hipped roof (the sides slope inward), a big chunk of your loft is just dead space. A hip-to-gable conversion changes that. We rebuild the sloping side into a straight vertical wall, which immediately opens up the internal width. Most people then add a rear dormer at the same time. Together, the two create a loft that's wide, tall, and genuinely flexible. Best suited for: End-of-terrace and semi-detached homes in Enfield where the hipped roof is eating into usable space.
Not every loft needs a full structural build. Sometimes the space is already there it just needs light, a stronger floor, and the right permissions. That's where a Velux conversion comes in. We fit roof windows into the existing slope, reinforce the floor, upgrade the insulation, and get everything signed off under building regulations. The roof stays exactly as it is. It's the quickest and most affordable route and in the right Enfield property, it produces a clean, bright, well-finished room. Best for: Lofts with good existing head height, homeowners working to a budget, and anyone who wants a fast turnaround with minimal structural work.
Got a rear extension on your Enfield home? Then you've got more potential up top than you might think. We build two dormers one on the main roof, one over the rear extension and connect them to create an L shape. The extra square footage this unlocks is significant. Most L-shaped conversions in Enfield comfortably fit two bedrooms and a bathroom, without any of the rooms feeling small. It's one of the best options for families who've outgrown their current layout but don't want to move. Best for: Homes with rear extensions, larger families needing multiple rooms, and properties where one dormer alone won't be enough.
A mansard is the most ambitious type of loft conversion and it delivers the most space. We rebuild the entire rear slope of the roof, bringing it up to a near-vertical angle with a flat section on top. The result looks and feels like a full extra floor. You're not just gaining a room you're gaining a proper storey. It takes more planning and usually needs full planning permission from Enfield Council. But for the right property, nothing else comes close for sheer liveable space. Best for: Larger detached homes, period properties in Enfield, and homeowners who want the maximum possible return from their roof space.
Bungalows are easy to overlook when it comes to loft conversions but they're actually one of the best candidates. Enfield has a fair number of them. And because a bungalow's roof tends to span the entire footprint of the property, there's often a surprising amount of space sitting unused up top. Converting that space adds one or two rooms upstairs and frees the ground floor to breathe. It's a big change for a bungalow but the difference it makes to everyday living is hard to overstate. Best for: Single-storey homes in Enfield where the ground floor has run out of room, and owners looking to future-proof their property without moving.
