Dormer
This is the most popular type of conversion we offer. Typically located at the rear of the property this design creates a great deal of floor space. The benefits of this type of loft are forever rewarding, not only does a dormer conversion prove cost effective but it provides large amounts of space in comparison with other types of loft conversions. In most cases planning permission is not required for a Dormer loft conversion. However, we review each loft as sometimes permission may be a requirement.
A rear dormer conversion can turn a dark dingy loft into a fresh bright open space. We recommend installing Velux windows on the front roof, which sit opposite the dormer windows, this will provide the new loft space with plenty of natural light. Another popular option for rear dormers is to add French doors to the dormer face with a glass balcony for that extra special touch.

EXTERIOR FINISH OPTIONS
The exterior finish of a rear dormer conversion can either be brick, tile hung, slate hung, rendered or cladded. If your choice is to go for tile or slate, the type will be chosen on site to ensure they match the existing roof as close as possible. If the plan is to do a rendered finish, we have skilled plasterers who can create lots of different render designs to match the existing finish. If you decide on brick, the brick used will match your existing brickwork. Other external finishes such as fascias, soffits, gutters and windows will also be matched to the existing finishes — this way, the rear dormer conversion will look like it was part of the original build!
