The types of Loft Conversions that we work in -
Dormer loft conversions are among the most popular options in Stanmore, especially for family homes seeking additional usable space. This conversion adds a box-shaped extension to the rear of the roof, increasing headroom and improving the floor layout. This approach effectively transforms a small or awkward loft into a functional bedroom, home office, or guest suite, while maintaining the property's front appearance. Best for: Homes with limited head height, 1930s semi-detached or detached houses, and properties where maximising internal space is a priority.
Many homes in Stanmore have hipped roofs, which slope inwards at the sides. A hip-to-gable loft conversion extends that sloping section up into a vertical wall, creating a square-ended roof and significantly more internal space. This conversion is especially effective when combined with a rear dormer, providing a larger, more flexible loft layout that remains balanced and well-proportioned. Best suited for: Semi-detached or detached homes, properties with hipped roofs, and homeowners looking to improve headroom and overall layout efficiency.
A Velux loft conversion, also known as a roof light conversion, is the most straightforward option. The roof structure remains unchanged; instead, we install roof windows, reinforce the floor, improve insulation, and ensure the space meets building regulations. This option is ideal when there is sufficient head height and when planning constraints or budget considerations limit structural changes. Best for: Homes with adequate loft height, limited budgets, or where a minimal intervention is preferred.
An L-shaped dormer loft conversion is ideal for properties with an existing rear extension. We built one dormer along the main roof and another over the rear addition, joining them together to form an “L” shape. This design creates a spacious, versatile loft area that can be divided into multiple rooms, often accommodating two bedrooms and a bathroom without sacrificing space or comfort. Best for: Period homes and larger properties with rear extensions, or households requiring multiple rooms instead of a single large space.
A mansard loft conversion rebuilds the rear slope of the roof at a steep angle with a flat roof on top. Although more complex, this approach creates a full-height loft that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the house. This conversion is ideal when maximizing floor space is the primary objective and planning permission can be obtained. Best for: Larger homes, character properties, and homeowners seeking maximum internal space with a traditional finish.
Many bungalows in Stanmore are well suited to loft conversions. Adding bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs frees the ground floor for open-plan living or improved accessibility. The typically generous roof footprint of a bungalow allows these conversions to create spacious and comfortable upper floors. Best for: Single-storey homes where ground-floor space is fully utilised, and long-term flexibility is a priority.
