Hip-To-Gable Loft Conversion | Master Bedroom with Panoramic | Barnet

Some of our clients come to us with a very uncomplicated brief; to create a bright and simple layout to optimise 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 rear elevation dormer finish in the dark grey slate for a very aesthetic appearance. The end result was a contemporary space with a great wow factor light feature.

Loft Conversion Types

Homeowners in Hendon can express their individuality with a bespoke loft conversion by Abbey Partnership.

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer conversions are an efficient way to add space very simply. Incorporating windows or doors with Juliet balconies can further enhance your new rooms. For roof pitches of under 2.1m, lowering the ceiling height of the floor below will offer more headroom to the new space, a straightforward method that achieves impressive outcomes.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

This conversion links two dormer structures to significantly expand new habitable space, ideal for creating multiple rooms and optimising your Hendon home’s potential.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Ideal for maximising living areas, Hip to Gable conversions are very effective for specific roof types, such as 1930s semi-detached homes. This approach transforms a sloped roof into a vertical gable wall, offering substantial functional space and increased headroom. Adding dormers further maximises potential space gain.

Mansard Loft Conversion

City properties, especially those featuring London roofs (butterfly roofs) can greatly benefit from Mansard loft conversions. These conversions can virtually add an entire new level by extending the front and rear of the property. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also requires a complete redesign of the roof structure. The new level is constructed with elevations angled at 70 degrees. Small dormer projects are incorporated to accommodate the sash windows.

Velux Loft Conversion

For properties with ample roof height, or those subject to development restrictions or do not require dormers, Velux conversions offer a bright and open atmosphere by installing roof lights. Minimal structural changes are needed, keeping the existing roof structure largely unaffected.

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 Hendon 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, water pressure can fluctuate. In these situations, 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 Hendon loft conversion project. This integrated approach means a simplified process and faster project completion, giving you a smoother, more efficient loft conversion experience.
