VELUX LOFT CONVERSION
For homeowners seeking an addition, this form of conversion is a fantastic choice. Since a roof window conversion is created to be in line with the roof of the home, it requires less building. The fitted windows provide the room with enough light to make it livable.
DORMER LOFT CONVERSION
This style of conversion is essentially designed to add more loft space. A dormer conversion is quite popular since it gives your home a more aesthetically sophisticated look. The authorities must provide planning authorization for this kind of expansion.
MANSARD LOFT CONVERSION
Mansard loft conversions gained a lot of traction in London as a result of the advantages of maximizing attic space and having access to the full roof area. These loft conversion types may be the best choice in sensitive regions and/or where the original framework of the house is the only alternative available to preserve the character of the property. Due to their economic effectiveness, flat-room Mansards are typically preferred by owners. However, as the majority of mansard loft conversions in London entail structural work and the reconstruction of the roof form, they will all need planning approval.
HIP-TO-GABLE LOFT CONVERSION
For homes with a reasonable internal volume and a clever way to maximize their space, this sort of hip roof loft conversion option is chosen. With this style of conversion, the attic area is expanded by converting the property's sloping side to a flat gable end and making room for the stairs. From the current hips to the farthest vertical wall, it extends the roof's ridge line. Similar to double mansard loft conversions, which alter the roof's contour, planning permission could be necessary.
You will need planning permission if your home is in a block of flats or maisonettes. Planning permission is required if you intend to extend or alter the roof space, as well as if the new space exceeds the specified limits and conditions:
• An additional roof space allowance of 40 cubic metres for terraced houses
• Additional roof space of 50 cubic metres for detached and semi-detached houses
• There will be no extension beyond the plane of the existing roof slope of the main elevation that faces the highway.
• There must be no extension that is higher than the highest point of the roof.
• Side-facing windows must be obscure-glazed, and any openings must be at least 1.7m above the floor.
• Materials and design should be similar to the existing house.
• Roof extensions are not permitted in selected areas.
• Roof extensions, other than hip-to-gable ones, must be set back at least 20cm from the original eaves.
• The roof extension cannot extend beyond the outer face of the original house's wall.
The average cost of a Loft Conversion in Colindale is between £40,000 to £90,000. (in 2022) The most common type of Loft Conversion is the dormer as it adds the most space and best light to your property. A loft conversion will not only give you extra space but also enhance your living space on your property. A loft conversion price depends on many factors such as type of the conversion, type of the roof you have, type of the lighting you want in the loft, the type of windows required, the size of the project, fixtures and fittings, nature of the exterior, client's personal requirements and the site's location.
