The types of Loft Conversions that we work in -
Dormer conversions are one of the most common choices for Hatch End homeowners. A box-shaped extension is added to the rear roof slope, giving you proper headroom and a usable floor plan, turning a cramped loft into a real room. Hatch End has a lot of 1930s semi-detached homes with wide roof spans, which makes them a great fit for this style. It's ideal if you need an extra bedroom, a home office, or a guest room. Best for: 1930s semis, family homes needing extra space, and properties where internal head height is the main issue.
Many homes in Hatch End have hipped roofs where the sides slope inward rather than ending with a flat wall. A hip-to-gable conversion fixes that by replacing the sloping side with a vertical gable, opening up a lot more usable space inside. Pair it with a rear dormer and you've got a loft layout big enough for a bedroom and bathroom with room to spare. Best suited for: Semi-detached and end-of-terrace homes in Hatch End with hipped roofs, where the loft feels too narrow or awkward to use properly.
A Velux conversion is the simplest option. We leave the roof structure as it is and just fit roof windows, strengthen the floor, improve insulation, and make sure everything meets building regulations. It costs less and takes less time than other types. If your loft already has decent head height, this can be all you need. Best for: Hatch End homes with enough existing loft height, tighter budgets, or where keeping disruption low is a priority.
If your home has a rear extension, an L-shaped dormer makes a lot of sense. We build one dormer on the main roof and another above the rear addition, joining the two to form an L shape. The result is a large, open loft that can comfortably fit two bedrooms and a bathroom without things feeling tight. Best for: Hatch End properties with rear extensions, larger family homes, and anyone who needs more than just one new room.
A mansard conversion rebuilds the rear roof slope at a steep angle with a flat top. It's more work than other types, but it gives you the most space, almost a full extra floor. Planning permission is usually needed, but for the right property in Hatch End, it's the best way to maximise what you've got. Best for: Larger homes, character properties, and Hatch End homeowners who want maximum space and a finish that looks like it was always part of the house.
Hatch End has a good number of bungalows, and many of them are well suited to a loft conversion. Adding rooms upstairs frees up the ground floor, great for open-plan living or making the home more accessible. Bungalow roofs tend to span the full width of the property, so there's usually plenty of space to work with once you go up. Best for: Single-storey homes in Hatch End where the ground floor is already fully used, and homeowners who want to future-proof their property.
