Dormer Loft Conversion | 1 Bedroom & Ensuite | Greenwich

Our client on Charlton Road already had an existing loft conversion. Our task was to improve the spaces by designing a contemporary bedroom and bathroom. To achieve this transformation, we removed the existing loft conversion and reconfigured the first and ground floors, accommodating a new staircase and ensuring compliance with building regulations. The result was a spacious loft conversion that not only complied with regulations, but also offered a more practical and modern use of the space for the client.

Loft Conversion Types

Abbey Partnership loft conversions offer tailored solutions designed to add value and versatility to your home in Greenwich, while retaining its unique character.

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions enhance living spaces by creating habitable areas, and adding windows or doors with juliet balconies to improve the new space. For roofs with pitches less than 2.1m, lowering the ceiling height of the level below is a practical option. Though it may seem like a complex process, this easy approach delivers exceptional outcomes.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

This type of loft conversion creates an extensive, adaptable space by combining two dormer structures. It’s a great way to maximise the available area. Homeowners who choose this style of conversion typically create multiple rooms, fully utilising the potential in their Greenwich home.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Greenwich homeowners can significantly boost their property’s space with Hip to Gable loft conversions. This technique replaces the sloping roof with a vertical gable wall, creating additional functional area and optimised headroom. Dormers with windows or doors are typically installed to invite natural light into the new space, further enhancing its appeal.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions are well suited to period properties with London roofs (butterfly roofs), providing maximum space and head height. The conversion involves a full alteration of the roof to establish a flat roof with a gentle slope and 70 degree elevations. This loft type offers an extensive new living area, and in many cases, virtually adds an entirely new level when developed front and rear.

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux loft conversions are a favoured way to introduce natural light into dark loft spaces. Maintaining the roof’s original structure, these conversions are ideal for lofts with the necessary height and space, transforming them into vibrant and habitable rooms.

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 Greenwich 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 Greenwich loft conversion project. This integrated approach means a simplified process and faster project completion, giving you a smoother more efficient loft conversion experience.
