Some types of loft conversions available include:

Rooflight conversion; here, the existing roof space will be converted with roof lights added to the front and back to avoid increasing the volume of the roof. If you want the gable walls fitted with windows, we can do so as well. Given the minimal alterations to be made, you won’t have to spend too much. Dormer conversion; our team will be looking to increase the amount of space at the sides, front or back by fitting the pitched roof plane with dormer windows.

That’s not the end of it as we’ll extend the roof over the gables to create the needed space. Gable-to-gable conversion; here, the gable wall will be built while the roof will be rebuilt at the back, resulting in a nearly vertical position that’s as high as the ceiling. This ends up forming a wall with windows. This loft conversion method is ideal for terrace houses. It’s ideal for creating a large space with full headroom. Mansard conversion; our team will be doing major work to install a new box-like structure in place of your roof. That would mean your house would have an additional storey with almost vertical tile-hung walls. We’ll then place an almost flat roof on top. Is it possible that my house won’t be suitable for a loft conversion? There’s a good chance your home wouldn’t have a problem with a loft conversion.

However, there are houses where the shape and pitch of the existing roof can be a hindrance. We can schedule an appointment to come see your house in order to determine whether we can carry out a loft conversion. We’ll need to establish that the usable load bearing walls available are sufficient to provide solid support for the new structure. It will be easy to carry out a loft conversion if your roof has a gable end wall. For a hipped roof, an intersecting pitched roof, or a trussed rafter roof on an older home, however, it could be a problem. Having worked on different kinds of rooves across Ovingdean, we can guarantee that we’ll be able to handle your loft conversion even if you have a complicated roof to work with.
