Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion | Walk-in Wardrobe & Bedroom | Crouch End

With years of experience working closely with our clients, we take immense pride in the relationships we develop from the very beginning. Our journey starts with in-depth discussions around the internal and external designs of the spaces. In this particular project the dormer shape was neither a hip to gable nor a simple rear dormer, and could be better described as a wrap-around dormer. Coming from a fashion background, our client had very clear design objectives. Our client envisioned a master bedroom, a shower room and a concealed walk-in wardrobe in this end of terrace Edwardian home. To achieve this, we built a rear dormer loft conversion with a part hip to gable to maximise the available space. The walk-in wardrobe at the front is strategically hidden from the bedroom by a sliding door. A large casement window in the bedroom offers a picturesque view of the garden, giving an undeniable wow factor.

Loft Conversion Types

At Abbey Partnership we offer different loft conversion types that are stylish, innovative and designed to meet your specific requirements:

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions are becoming a preferred choice in Crouch End. These are structural extensions with a vertical light feature window or doors that may include a juliet balcony, typically on the rear roof slope. In cases where the existing roof pitch is under 2.1m, lowering the ceiling height on the level below is a potential option. While appearing structurally difficult, the process is quite straightforward and can deliver great results.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

This type of loft conversion is ideal for Victorian or Edwardian properties. By merging two dormer structures, it’s an effective method to maximise the available space. Choosing this style of loft conversion can create several rooms, and really adds value and functionality to your Crouch End property.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Hip to Gable loft conversions can benefit houses from the increased space it provides. By converting the hipped roof slope to a vertical wall, homeowners gain additional functional loft space and headroom. Dormer windows are often used to deliver natural light into this new substantial space.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions on period properties with classic London roofs (butterfly roofs) provide maximum space and head height. This process involves a full alteration of the roof structure to form a flat roof and 70 degree elevations. It can create a substantial new living area, often adding virtually an entirely new level when extended front and rear. Many inner London properties are ideal for this type of attic extension.

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux loft conversions are an efficient way to bring maximum light into a loft. It involves installing window lights into the roof slope, and is ideal for lofts that already have adequate room and height. This method ensures the space becomes habitable without changing the roof shape, and may be the only option in some cases where dormers aren’t permissible.

What do I need to do next?
Arrange for a FREE no-obligation quote to determine the most efficient way of carrying out your Crouch End 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 Crouch End loft conversion project. This integrated approach means a simplified process and faster project completion, giving you a smoother, more efficient loft conversion experience.
