Dormer Loft Conversion | Sunday Times Feature | North London

Some of our clients come to us with a very uncomplicated brief, to create a bright and simple layout which optimises space. Even with small scale projects it is important to work closely as a team with the client. The stand out features in this particular project were the spectacular views from the panoramic feature window and the exterior rear elevation dormer finish in the dark grey slate which has a very slick look. The result was an aesthetically pleasing contemporary space with the great wow factor light feature.

Loft Conversion Types

Abbey Partnership can create a range of loft conversion types to suit your Enfield home and specific requirements.

Dormer Loft Conversion

In Enfield, dormer loft conversions are a popular loft conversion style. They extend vertically from the existing roof, offering additional space and headroom. These structural extensions feature windows or doors with juliet balconies, giving lots of natural light. They are usually constructed on the rear slope of the roof, and are particularly practical when the existing loft lacks headroom or has shallow sloping sides. If the existing headroom is below the ideal level of approximately 2.1m, lowering the ceiling on the level below can be a viable option.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

L-Shape loft conversions are another type of popular loft conversion in Enfield. By merging two dormer builds, this type of conversion creates a generous, versatile space. It’s an ideal solution for Victorian or Edwardian properties, offering a fantastic way to expand your living area. Many homeowners who choose this loft style create multiple rooms, making the most of their Enfield loft conversion.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

For semi-detached homes, Hip to Gable loft conversions are very common. These conversions transform the hipped roof slope into a vertical wall, significantly expanding the available space and headroom. This type of loft conversion instantly makes the loft area more functional and habitable. To further optimise the space gained dormers are frequently added, enhancing the overall use and possibilities of the loft area.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions are a popular choice for Enfield properties with classic butterfly roofs. They offer a highly effective way to optimise space and head height, by redesigning the existing structure to create an additional level. This level is characterised with a flat roof and 70 degree elevations, creating a substantial new living space. If constructed at both the front and rear of the property, there’s the potential to create nearly an entire new floor.

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux loft conversions are considered one of the most cost-effective solutions. They require no changes to the actual roof shape so are ideal for lofts that already have good height and space. Velux windows will be installed into the slope of the roof, bringing an abundance of natural light and making the space more habitable. In certain situations, this option may be the only viable solution for converting the space, especially in conservation areas or with listed properties where other conversion types are not permitted.

Do I need Planning Permission for a Loft Conversion in Enfield?

Homeowners in Enfield frequently find their loft conversions fall under permitted development, therefore a planning application is not required. However if it is needed Abbey Partnership will guide you, ensuring that your project has all the appropriate approvals and documentation securely in place.

Properties in Enfield may fall under certain property categories that might need planning permission. Find out more here. If planning permission is required, early planning is important. The process can extend up to 13 weeks for significant or complicated projects.

How Much Does a Loft Conversion in Enfield cost?

Loft conversions may vary in price depending upon the type of conversion and individual requirements. In Enfield, loft conversions normally cost between £40,000 to £60,000. At Abbey Partnership we have adjusted our payment plans to guarantee your peace of mind.

The Abbey payment plan:

Deposit: The deposit covers initial expenditures such as plans and scaffolding.

Instalments: The following stages to completion are based on payments meeting the completion of work stages. This means you can sign-off each stage of the project so you only pay for work you’re happy with.

We are proud of our approach to cost and our quotes are detailed and prepared before work begins to cover all agreed specifications.

FAQs

How long does a loft conversion take?
Loft conversions can take up to 10 – 15 weeks to complete.

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