Mansard Loft Conversion | Period Townhouse Apartment Renovation | Kentish Town

For this particular project, we created a two-level flat in a charming period townhouse which was not your average project. By adding a new Mansard level and merging this to the existing second floor, we were able to create a separate dwelling for our client.

The transformation not only accentuated the classic London period architecture, it also provided a vibrant, open plan living space with stunning views from the new third level. This beautifully designed, high-level apartment significantly boosted the value of the well-located period townhouse far beyond the level of investment.

Loft Conversion Types

Homeowners in Hampstead can benefit from a bespoke loft conversion that embodies their unique style with Abbey Partnership. We specialise in optimising roof spaces to create graceful, functional rooms.

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions provide a straightforward and efficient way to maximise space. The addition of windows and/or doors with Juliet balconies can further enhance your newfound space. For roof pitches of less than 2.1m, lowering the ceiling height of the floor below can be an effective solution. This is a straightforward approach that yields remarkable outcomes.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

By integrating two dormer structures, this conversion type significantly increases liveable space. It’s ideal for those wanting to create multiple rooms, making the most of their Hampstead residence.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Highly practical and effective, Hip to Gable conversions expand potential new spaces significantly. This method suits many hipped roofs, especially 1930s semi-detached homes, by converting a sloped roof into a vertical gable wall, thereby increasing functional space and headroom. The addition of dormers with windows ensures that the space is fully optimised.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Perfect for properties in Hampstead with London-style roofs (butterfly roofs), Mansard conversions can add the equivalent of an entirely new floor when extended at both the front and rear. These conversions enhance the aesthetic appeal of period properties by reconstructing the roof to form a flat roof with 70-degree elevations.

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux conversions are ideal for properties with ample roof height that don’t require dormers, or are limited by development restrictions. Installing roof lights on the slope allows natural light to pour into the loft, creating a bright and open atmosphere. This conversion requires minimal structural changes, preserving the existing roof’s shape and integrity.

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 Hampstead 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. However, in some cases, especially where there are combination boilers, pressure may fluctuate and we can consider solutions, such as the use of a Megaflow (pressurised system) 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 Hampstead loft conversion project. This integrated approach means a simplified process and faster project completion, giving you a smoother, more efficient loft conversion experience.
