Dormer Loft Conversion | 1 Bedroom & Ensuite | Greenwich

Our project on Charlton Road began with an existing loft conversion that needed a modern upgrade. Our task was to transform this space with a contemporary bedroom and bathroom design. To bring this vision to life, we dismantled the existing loft conversion and redesigned the first and ground floors to fit a new staircase, ensuring everything met building regulations.

The outcome was a generously sized loft conversion that delivered a more functional and stylish space for our client.

Loft Conversion Types

Catford homeowners can benefit from a beautiful and bespoke loft conversion by Abbey Partnership. Our speciality is turning underutilised lofts into elegant and practical spaces with high quality finishes.

Dormer Loft Conversion

Perfect for adding space efficiently, dormer conversions can significantly enlarge your living area. Windows or doors with Juliet balconies can be added to create an open and vibrant space. For roofs with pitches below 2.1m, lowering the ceiling height of the floor below is a simple yet effective solution that offers great results.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

This loft conversion type connects two dormer structures, significantly increasing living space. It’s favoured among Catford residents looking to unlock the full potential of their homes, typically applying to period properties with rear additions or outriggers.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Particularly suited for hipped roof properties, such as 1930s semi-detached homes, this transformation replaces the sloped roof with a vertical gable wall, resulting in more space and headroom. Adding dormers with windows enhances the available space, ensuring light-filled interiors.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Ideal for city properties with London roofs (butterfly roofs), Mansard conversions add almost an entirely new level when extended from front to rear. This option is perfect for period properties aiming to boost aesthetic appeal, involving a complete roof restructure to achieve a flat roof surface with gentle slopes and 70-degree elevations with projected dormers to house the windows.

Velux Loft Conversion

For properties with sufficient roof height or those facing development restrictions, Velux conversions are an excellent option. Roof lights are installed to fill the space with natural light, creating a bright, open ambience. This solution involves minimal structural alterations, preserving the existing roof’s infrastructure.

The Abbey Payment Plan:

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 Catford 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 and other solutions can be considered. For example, we may use 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 Catford loft conversion project. This integrated approach means a simplified process and faster project completion, giving you a smoother, more efficient loft conversion experience.
