Similar to dormer conversions, L-shaped Dormer Loft Conversions are a great way of maximising the room in your loft and opening it up to create more usable space. They can be fitted onto properties that are already in an L shape, usually terraced houses, giving a whole new floor with space for several additional rooms. You might also hear them being referred to as outrigger loft conversions. With L-shaped Dormer Loft Conversions, homeowners can significantly increase their living space while enhancing the value of their property.

What is an L-shaped loft conversion?
Structurally, an L-shaped Dormer Loft Conversion is very similar to a dormer conversion – the key difference is that it is built onto a property with an existing L-shaped structure. To accommodate one of these L-shaped loft conversions, your property will typically need a rear extension to create the necessary shape. The loft conversion itself extends from the existing roof, covering both the main property and the rear extension, featuring flat walls and a flat ceiling for a spacious and modern finish.
Who would choose an L-shaped roof extension?
These are some of the main reasons why you might opt for an L-shaped Dormer Loft Conversion:
Maximum space
This is by far the most spacious type of loft conversion, providing the capacity for multiple additional rooms, making it ideal for growing families or homeowners needing extra living areas.
Good lighting
With its tall walls and high ceiling, an L-shaped loft conversion allows for plenty of natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Versatility
An L-shaped Dormer Loft Conversion offers excellent flexibility, allowing you to incorporate bathrooms, home offices, or bedrooms while accommodating taller furniture with ease.

How much does an L-shaped loft conversion cost?
L-shaped dormers are very similar to standard dormers, but they have the potential to give you significantly more space. The prerequisite is that you will need to have the right property shape in the first place, usually with an extension built onto the back to create that L shape. Therefore, an average L-shaped dormer loft conversion will cost in the region of £75,000.
This is dependent on size, location and finish. Contact us now for a site visit where we can give an accurate quote.
