Loft conversions remain one of the most popular ways to improve a property, as they make use of the existing structure and typically involve less construction work than other types of renovation. Despite this, every project is finished to the same exceptional standard. Because they can be completed more quickly, loft conversions often provide a cost-effective way to add extra living space and enhance comfort within your home.
There are several kinds available, as outlined below:
Flat Roof Dormer Conversions
Gable-End Conversions
Mansard Loft Conversions
Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversions
Velux / Rooflight Loft Conversions
Dormer conversions are box-shaped structures built into the sloping roof, either as individual additions or as a single, larger extension. They create valuable extra headroom and floor space, typically towards the rear of the property, making them ideal for an extra bedroom with an en-suite, a lounge area, or a home office.
The vertical faces of the dormer can be finished with cladding to enhance the property’s appearance, and depending on your preference, our builders can construct them with either flat or pitched roofs. L-shaped loft conversions, meanwhile, feature two dormers positioned along different sections of an L-shaped roof to maximise usable space
Hipped roofs can significantly limit the available floor area in a loft, making it harder to use the space effectively. By extending the hipped section so it aligns with the gable wall and continuing the roofline across, the team at Pro Build Leicester can increase the usable space on the gable side of your attic. This added headroom is perfect for incorporating a full-height shower, en-suite bathroom, or additional vertical storage.
Mansard conversions are more intricate projects that typically require planning approval. This type of loft conversion involves removing most of the existing roof and constructing a new upper floor with walls sloping inward at around 72 degrees. Flat-roof dormer windows are then added to complete the design. Externally, mansard roofs can be finished in brick, slate, tile, or a rendered finish to match the style of your property.
