The dormer loft conversion tends to be the most popular in the UK, adding a simple extension to your existing roof where the loft conversion will be created. It is quick to build, and you will rarely need planning permission, making the construction of your dormer loft simple from beginning to end. For all your loft conversion needs, call 01732 523199.

What are dormer loft extensions?
A dormer conversion is usually built off the external walls of the existing property so that it will mimic the room below it. During the construction of a dormer loft, the sloping section of a roof elevation is removed, and a stud work dormer is built around the opening, giving the sloping area full-height headroom.
From the outside, it will have a box-like shape, and it will be fitted with traditional dormer windows to bring in plenty of light and add ventilation if required. We also help you with planning permission, and once that is secured, you can even choose to have a Juliet balcony installed.
WHO WOULD CHOOSE A DORMER LOFT CONVERSION?
These are some of the main reasons why you might select a dormer loft conversion:
You need to add more height to your new space
The dormer extension projects from the roof, creating a higher ceiling and increasing overall space.
You have a steep pitch on your existing roof
A dormer conversion extends upwards and outwards, making it suitable for properties with steeply pitched roofs.
You want to add more natural light
The design allows for dormer windows, which bring in additional light, making the space brighter and more inviting.
You want a cost-effective solution
Dormer conversions are one of the most cost-effective loft conversion types, adding value to a property without excessive costs.
