Mansard Loft Conversion
A Mansard loft conversion takes the slope of the front or rear of a roof and basically extends it outwards to near enough a vertical side to an angle of at least 72 degrees. The roof is then near enough flat and its common for the windows to be enclosed within small dormers.
WE OFFER
L-Shaped Conversion
An L Shaped loft conversion is where two dormers are connected together to form an L shape. They can offer a great deal of space, but are normally only suitable for properties where there is a back addition to the property.

Hip to Gable
A hip roof slants on all four sides and is known to be one of the strongest roof structures there is.
A gable roof slants on two sides and the other two sides are a continuation of the wall to fill in the triangle of the roof up to the ridge.
A hip to Gable loft conversion is where the existing sloped part of the roof (the hip) which basically reduces the useable floor area is removed and converted to a gable end. This can be a continuation of the brick finish used for the wall or a tiled or wood panel finish.
WE OFFER
Dormer Conversions
Dormer loft conversions are simply where a pitched roof is converted to form a box like structure. This helps to increase the space in the loft and make it possible for conversion. The walls on a dormer conversion will then sit at a 90 degree angle to the floor.
WE OFFER
Velux / Roof Light Conversions
If your property has ample head room in the loft then a Velux loft conversion is the most simple and likely to be the cheapest option. The amount of construction work is much less then a dormer window and installation of velux windows can be installed into your roof with relative ease.
WE OFFER
Bungalow Loft Conversion
Bungalows are perfect for conversions in most cases. A lot of the time the roofs have a high pitch which also makes head room no issue at all. A bungalow can however have dormers installed as well so there are many options available.
Basildon Loft Space COMPANIES FAQ
The short answer is in most cases it is not required for loft conversions. HOWEVER, if you are extending the roof beyond its current limits then you will need to obtain planning. This will be advised when a survey is carried out on your property.
Only if building regulations specify that it can be classed as a bedroom. To do this many criterias have to be met. Again this can be discussed upon survey.
This will depend on the property layout but in a lot of cases the stairs to the loft are normally placed above the stairs from the ground to the first floor.
It is the opinion of many that a loft conversion is one of the best ways to add value to a property and can add upto 20% value.
The minimum height required is 2.2 Metres. If this can not be achieved then the ceiling on the first floor will need to be lowered or the ridge height of the existing roof will need to be raised.
A loft conversion is cheaper then an extension.
Firstly when you initially contact us we will talk about your requirements over the phone and ascertain what you are looking for us to achieve for you. We will then organise a survey so that we properly assess the full scope of works.
This is the point where we can discuss the project in depth together. There will be many factors that we will need to take into consideration from working out if planning permission is needed to checking the overall structure of your roof. We will then go on to assess things such as the most suitable positioning for a stair case, to flooring requirements, fixtures and fittings, and so on.
The next step will be for us to prepare a detailed quotation for you. This will give you a clear understanding of what was discussed and outline the proposed works and projected loft conversion cost.
When you are ready to proceed we can then finalised things such as planning requirements and architects drawings, etc, and then arrange a suitable start date.
During the whole process from starting the works to completion we will make sure that:
- You are kept informed at every stage of the project
- Your property is kept as clean and tidy as possible
- Your services such as gas, electric, water and heating have the least disruption.
- The disturbance caused to your family and neighbours is kept to an absolute minimum.
- Any concerns that you have are addressed as quickly as possible.
Upon completion we are always available to address any concerns or queries that you may have. We want your experience with us to be one that you would recommend to friends and family and no matter how small your concerns are you can rest assured that we will always be here to help you.
