Dormer Loft Conversions

Maximise your home’s potential with a dormer conversion – an excellent way to create additional living space and enhance your property’s functionality. Suitable for many property types, dormer conversions provide a practical and cost-effective solution for expanding your home.

What Is a Dormer Loft Conversion?

A dormer conversion involves adding a box-like structure to your roof, which projects upwards to create extra headroom and floor space. Dormers are typically installed at the rear of the property but can also be placed at the side or front, depending on your needs and local planning restrictions.

This type of conversion is perfect for creating bright, functional spaces like bedrooms, bathrooms, or even home offices, tailored to your lifestyle.

Benefits of a Roof Dormer Loft

  1. Increased Usable Space
    Dormers provide more headroom and a level floor area, making your loft a practical living space with minimal sloped ceilings.
  2. Improved Natural Light
    Adding dormer windows allows sunlight to flood your new space, creating a bright and airy environment.
  3. Boosted Property Value
    A loft extension not only adds functional space but can also significantly increase your property’s resale value.
  4. Design Versatility
    Dormers come in various styles, including flat-roof, gable-fronted, and hipped, enabling you to choose a design that complements your home.
  5. Energy Efficiency
    Modern insulation and construction techniques ensure your new loft space stays warm and reduces energy costs.

Planning Permission and Building Regulations

Dormers usually fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission is not required for most projects. Exceptions may apply if:

  • Your property is in a conservation area
  • It’s a listed building
  • Previous extensions exceed the permitted development limits

We recommend consulting your local planning authority to ensure compliance. Additionally, building regulations approval is required to ensure your dormer meets safety and structural standards.

How Much Does a Dormer Loft Conversion Cost?

The cost of a dormer conversion typically ranges between £40,000 and £55,000. This includes structural work, windows, and electrics but may exclude interior finishes such as bathroom fittings or flooring.
