Adding a dormer to an existing loft conversion

Adding a dormer to an existing loft conversion is one of the most popular ways to upgrade or develop accommodation in the roofline.

There are lots of reasons why an upgrade to an existing loft conversion is such a good idea.

·         You may have bought a house with an existing loft conversion and want to repurpose the accommodation to suit your needs and the needs of your family

·         You want to change the usage of your current loft conversion to reflect changes in lifestyle or the needs of the family, perhaps that old playroom could become a cinema room for the teens or it could make an ideal studio space for a new business idea or hobbyist

·         Sometimes, loft conversions are planned in two stages to help spread the cost

Adding dormer windows creates more floorspace and increases headroom, it also dramatically improves natural light which can come flooding in turning a once dark and gloomy attic conversion into something spacious, bright and welcoming. Dormer loft conversions are one of the most popular loft conversion ideas and are suitable for many existing loft conversions.

What is a dormer loft conversion?

A dormer window is a box-like structure with vertical walls which project out from the roof slope. There is plenty of variation and choice in terms of size and style, but it will involve alterations to the current roofline. It is important that loft conversion plans are carefully drawn up by experts so that they don’t fall foul of planning regulations. Planning permission may be necessary even if the original conversion was allowed under permitted development.
