Velux Loft Conversions

What is a Velux Loft Conversion?

A Velux loft conversion, also known as a rooflight conversion, is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform an unused attic into a functional and bright space. By adding Velux windows directly to the existing roofline, this conversion type maximises natural light without altering the roof’s structure making it a straightforward and minimally invasive option.

How Much Does a Velux Loft Conversion Cost?

The cost of a Velux loft conversion varies depending on the size of your loft, the number of windows and the desired finishes. As a simpler conversion it’s typically more affordable than other options but we recommend arranging a site visit for a tailored quote.

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Velux Loft Conversion?

In most cases Velux loft conversions fall under permitted development rights meaning no planning permission is required. However, certain restrictions might apply particularly for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas. We can guide you through this process.

Velux Loft Styles

Standard Velux Conversion: Adds roof lights to a straightforward layout.

 

Combination Velux Conversion: Pairs Velux windows with additional features like a mezzanine or unique staircase design.

 

Velux Balcony Conversion: Creates a mini balcony space within the roofline, perfect for enjoying fresh air and views.
