Dormer Loft Conversions

What is a Dormer Loft Conversion?

A dormer loft conversion involves extending the existing roof vertically to create more headroom and usable space. Dormers are a versatile option for adding bedrooms, home offices and bathrooms. They integrate seamlessly into most property styles blending functionality with aesthetics.

How Much Does a Dormer Loft Conversion Cost?

Dormer loft conversions vary in cost depending on size, structural requirements and finish. Premium materials or custom design features may increase the cost but our team ensures transparency and value at every stage.

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Dormer Loft Conversion?

In many cases dormer conversions fall under permitted development rights meaning no planning permission is required. However, if your home is in a conservation area or has specific restrictions we’ll handle the planning process to ensure a smooth experience.

Maximise Natural Light

Install large windows or French doors in the dormer to flood the space with light and create a feeling of openness.

Shelving

Incorporate Built-In Storage

 Take advantage of the angles and eaves to add bespoke cupboards or shelves keeping the room functional and tidy.

Window Seat with View

Create a Cosy Window Seat

Use the alcove under the dormer window for a built-in bench or reading nook with hidden storage underneath.

These are just a few design ideas. Dormer lofts are versatile spaces that blend style and functionality allowing you to reimagine your home’s potential. Our team can discuss your needs and help craft the perfect plan.
