Loft Conversion Derby | Top Professionals At Work

Roofing contractors like us are typically involved in loft conversion projects because it is more cost effective than extending outwards, and such extensions usually require some roof work.  Roof loft conversion means that some form of construction is taking place within the spaces above your ceiling or floors making new areas accessible by opening up holes through which materials can be passed easily without damaging any other rooms below - This means that new windows may have been fitted, plumbing may have been installed to make new bathrooms, loft lights may be added and loft insulation is put in place.

What type of roof do you need for a loft conversion?

Loft conversions require specialised types of roofs since the height is much taller than other attic rooms in a house. This means that loft conversions often include either mansard loft conversion, dormer loft conversion or hip-to-gable conversions as well as conventional flat roofs or pitched roofs depending on the height of the room being converted into an additional living space.

How tall does a roof have to be for a loft conversion?

For most practical purposes any building should not exceed two floors without requiring planning permission which would apply to loft conversions as well. The roof should not be higher than the highest part of the house, i.e. if a chimney is sticking out it should remain below this point in height otherwise permission will have to be sought from your local authority for extension etc.

It's also worth bearing in mind that there are limits on how much you may increase the area of a building without Planning Permission and these limits can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

What is a mansard loft conversion?

A Mansard loft conversion refers to converting attic space into habitable rooms by removing part of its sloping portion at each end making them go horizontal instead while retaining dormers with roof windows and roof lights. This is a very popular loft conversion type as it allows for four large rooms to be created with all the loft space combined together.

What is a dormer loft conversion?

A dormer loft conversion is when loft conversion is carried out on an end of the building with a steep roof to create additional space. Usually dormer loft conversions are done by converting the loft area in front part of the house but behind the main ridge line creating two or more rooms, storage spaces and/or bathrooms using traditional loft conversion techniques.

Can I install solar panels with my loft room?

Yes, many companies will include eco friendly renewable energy systems so you may want to ask them about this. As roofers, with regard to installing solar panels on loft conversion roof, we are concerned about the loft conversion roof, more than the actual solar panels.
