Here are some of the loft conversion types in Herne Hill.
Rear Single Dormer
A single dormer loft conversion is one of the most economical ways to add space to your home. It is quite a simple and straightforward process and hence one of the most popular types of loft conversions. A rear single dormer conversion usually results in the addition of a large master bedroom with ensuite / shower room to the property.
Rear L-Shaped Dormer
An L-shaped dormer loft conversion is a very popular type of conversion for Victorian properties due their existing L-shaped layout. Detached, semi-detached, terraced, conversion and purpose-built flats all lend themselves to this conversion type. The additional loft space “L-shape” extends over the rear outcrop of the ground floor.
Rear Mansard
A rear mansard loft conversion is particularly suited to Edwardian and Victorian terraced houses as well as first floor flats. The party walls are built up in brick, typically London Stock Brick allowing the conversion to be the full width of the property.
Rear L-Shaped Mansard
A rear L-shaped Mansard is very similar to a rear mansard but simply extends out over the rear of the property to form another room. An L-shaped Mansard is particularly suited to a period property and a mid-terrace property.
Hip to Gable Rear Dormer
For a hip to gable loft conversion the roof hip is removed, a new gable wall is raised from the existing walls of the house and the remaining pitched roofline is extended to meet it. The gable wall is usually built up in brick or render to match the existing gable wall.
Velux Loft Conversion
A Velux loft conversion is the simplest of all loft conversion types and is also considered the cheapest way to convert your loft space. It doesn’t require any roof extension but simply a reinforcement and internal reconfiguration of the existing loft and addition of Velux windows to one or both sides of the roof.
London Roof Loft Conversion
A London roof, also known as a butterfly roof, is one that can be converted from front to back so results in one of the largest roof extensions. This conversion type results in the addition of a whole new floor leading to the same floor space as the one below.
Case Study
Dormer Loft Conversion in Herne Hill
We completed a loft conversion to an Edwardian property in Herne Hill. This dormer loft conversion gave the owners two additional bedrooms increasing this property from a three-bedroom house to a five bedroom house. We started working on this rear dormer loft conversion in May and completion at the beginning of August, with the whole build process finished in just over 8 weeks. We worked with our clients to design this loft conversion and apply for planning permission. We had to apply to Lambeth council for planning permission on this project. Once the planning application had been submitted, it took 8 weeks for a decision. In that time, we helped our client to obtain their party wall agreements and finalise the build schedule. From the moment our build team arrived on site, we moved diligently through each of the build phases through to completion with minimal disruption to the rest of the house.
