Loft Conversion Types

Abbey Partnership delivers innovative loft conversion designs that are stylish and tailored to meet your individual requirements.

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions are becoming increasingly popular in Woodford Green. These structural extensions typically include windows or doors with a juliet balcony, making them visually appealing and enjoyable new spaces. For roofs with an existing pitch below 2.1m, lowering the ceiling height on the level below can be a practical solution. While this might appear structurally complex, the process is relatively simple and delivers remarkable results.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

Ideal for Victorian or Edwardian homes, this type of loft conversion creates a substantial and versatile area by connecting two dormer structures. It’s the perfect solution for maximising available space. L-Shape loft conversions typically produce multiple rooms, making them an excellent choice for adding extra living spaces in Woodford Green’s charming period properties.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Hip to Gable loft conversions provide substantial benefits by expanding a home’s liveable spaces. This transformation involves converting the hipped side roof into a vertical or gable wall, creating additional functional space and headroom. The design often incorporates dormer windows, flooding the new space with natural light and enhancing the overall usable room.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Period properties with London roofs (butterfly roofs) are well suited for Mansard loft conversions, and benefit substantially by often adding an entirely new level to the home. This process involves a complete alteration of the roof, creating a flat surface with 70 degree front and rear elevations, significantly enhancing the available space.

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux loft conversions are an excellent way to transform your loft, especially in cases where dormers are not required or allowed, and existing headroom is sufficient. By installing roof lights directly into the roof slope, these conversions become bright and enjoyable spaces without altering the roof’s original shape.

What do I need to do next?
Arrange for a FREE no-obligation quote to determine the most efficient way of carrying out your Woodford Green loft conversion.

Will we need to move out while the work is undertaken?
Loft conversions are less disruptive than most other residential developments. Much of the work is undertaken by accessing the property through the roof via a scaffold.

How are payments staged?
At Abbey Partnership, we prioritise your financial peace of mind with our balanced stage payment programme. This approach ensures you only pay for work as it is completed. You can rest assured the final payment is only due when all agreed work meets your expectations.

Can neighbours prevent a loft conversion going ahead?
No, they can only insist on a full party wall award being drafted by surveyors (client to meet all costs).

Do I need a party wall agreement?
A party wall agreement (that can be downloaded or provided by our company) will be required as a minimum. Some neighbours may insist on a party wall surveyor drafting an award.

If we have a bathroom in our new loft will our existing boiler need to change?
Most heating systems can be adapted but in some cases especially where there are combination boilers, the pressure can fluctuate and other solutions can be considered. For example the use of a Megaflow (pressurised system), which is a water storage cylinder that can form part of a central heating system.

Do I need planning permission for my loft conversion?
Only in certain circumstances. Since the new changes to the planning law in 2008, most loft conversions do not require planning permission. However, there are certain property categories where planning permission may be required.

Should I employ an architect?
Loft conversion specialists usually have their own architects. Having a company provide a one stop shop approach has many benefits. Not only does it streamline communication, but it also ensures a cohesive vision throughout your Woodford Green loft conversion project. This integrated approach means a simplified process and faster project completion, giving you a smoother more efficient loft conversion experience.
