Types of Loft Conversions Available in Hainault

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer extensions increase usable space by adding volume to the roof, usually at the back or side of your home. Ideal for Hainault’s semi-detached and terraced houses, these require planning permission and must meet structural standards.
Our service includes:

  • Custom design and planning of rear and side dormers
  • Timber frame installation and dormer window fitting
  • Staircase construction for easy access
  • Floor reinforcement and insulation upgrades
  • Guidance with party wall agreements and planning applications

Attic Loft Conversion

For lofts with enough height but without structural changes, we convert attic spaces into usable rooms by reinforcing floors, adding insulation, and installing safe access.
Package includes:

  • Loft staircase installation
  • Floor boarding and lighting
  • Ventilation and heating setup
  • Fire doors and safety features

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux windows or rooflights let in natural light without changing the external roofline. Perfect for conservation areas or where planning permission is restricted.
What we deliver:

  • Professional fitting of Velux windows with flashing and sealing
  • Loft insulation and ventilation improvements
  • Fire safety features and building regulation compliance
  • Support with approvals and inspection

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard conversions involve reshaping the roof into a near-vertical wall topped with a flat roof, creating a large, versatile space. This approach demands full planning permission and structural engineering.
We provide:

  • Full mansard design and engineering plans
  • Roof reconstruction with dormer windows
  • Steel support installation and insulation works
  • Complete application and party wall process management

Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion

By extending the hip end of the roof into a gable wall, you increase internal space and headroom. This suits Hainault’s semi-detached homes and requires structural modifications plus planning permission.
Services include:

  • Structural redesign and gable wall building
  • Roofline alteration and internal floorplan adjustment
  • Party wall agreement handling
  • Compliance with all relevant building regulations
