Dormer Loft Conversion | Two Bedrooms & Ensuite Shower | Chiswick

The clients initially had a room in the loft, however it didn’t maximise the available space. We demolished the existing structure and redesigned it to achieve the two bedrooms and shower room that they desired; transforming this Edwardian terraced property into a coveted four-bedroom home. These spaces are filled with natural light via floor to ceiling windows, Velux windows, and an overhead skylight. Key features of this conversion are the expansive rear windows and well-designed storage spaces, which the client was delighted with.

Loft Conversion Types

We provide loft conversions in Chiswick that achieve sophistication and practicality. From the initial concept to completion, our expert team works closely with you to design a loft space that fits seamlessly within your home’s character.

Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer loft conversions transform homes by expanding living areas and adding windows or doors with juliet balconies, which can dramatically enhance the new space. For roofs with pitches below 2.1m, a practical solution may be to lower the ceiling height of the floor below. Though it may appear complex, this straightforward technique ensures a stunning outcome.

L-Shape Loft Conversion

This type of loft conversion generates a vast, versatile space by joining two dormer structures. It’s an ideal way to enhance the available space. Often homeowners who choose this conversion create multiple rooms, maximising usage potential in their Chiswick home.

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

Hip to Gable loft conversions offer significant benefits for homes in Chiswick. This process involves converting the sloped side roof into a vertical gable wall, generating ample extra space and optimised headroom. Incorporating dormers with windows ensures that the loft is filled with natural light, making it a bright and functional space.

Mansard Loft Conversion

Mansard loft conversions are a popular choice for period homes in Chiswick featuring London roofs (butterfly roofs), providing optimal space and head height. This conversion technique involves completely restructuring the roof to produce a flat surface with a gentle slope and 70 degree elevations. The end result is a considerable new living area, frequently adding almost a whole new level if extended front and rear.

Velux Loft Conversion

Velux loft conversions are a cost-effective solution for homeowners seeking to bring light into their loft without changing the roof structure. This process involves the installation of roof lights into the slope of the roof to gain an abundance of light. These conversions are perfect for lofts with significant headroom, turning them into dynamic and enjoyable spaces that add charm to your home.

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