Loft conversions are one of the most famous ways of adding space to your existing home without expanding its boundaries. The loft, otherwise wasted space, can be converted into a room or rooms of your choice, providing additional space and increasing your estate value.
Deciding between different types of loft conversions can get confusing, and you have to find one that suits your budget and meets your space requirements. So if you are looking for a loft conversion in Southampton and want the right advice and the right construction team, your search is over. Contact us today for the most reliable and innovative loft conversions.
Types of Loft Conversions
Depending on your home’s existing structure, space requirement, and budget, you can choose from four basic types and contact our loft conversion builders in Southampton for your project:
- Rooflight loft conversion
- Hip-to-gable conversion
- Mansard conversion
- Dormer Conversion
Our loft conversion specialists in Southampton will conduct an initial assessment of your home to check which types of loft conversions can be carried out and whether you would require planning permission.

Rooflight Conversions - When Budget is Your Primary Concern
- Rooflight loft conversion in Southampton is the simplest of all and involves the installation of rooflight/skylight windows, flooring, staircase, and utilities to make your loft a usable space.
- They do not require planning permission and can be completed in the shortest time.
- They are less costly than all other types of extensions.
- They increase your home’s aesthetic value.
Hip-to-Gable Conversions – One of the Most Popular
- These conversions involve transforming a hipped roof (sloping roof) to increase headroom, i.e. by creating a vertical gable wall. They make your otherwise wasted headroom available for use.
- They are famous in the UK and Europe as they create ample space.
- Modern loft conversions in Southampton often combine a rear dormer extension to create even more space.
- You need a skilled architect to ensure your hip-to-gable conversion falls within your permitted development rights.
Dormer Conversion – The Most Adaptable
- Several dormer conversions exist, such as L-shaped dormers, side dormers, rear dormers, and Velux.
- They are very common as they can be built in several ways.
- They do not require significant alterations, so you may not require planning permission.
- They enhance not only your space but also your real estate value.
Mansard Conversion
- Complete roof replacement with a horizontal roof and back walls that look almost vertical but are actually at an angle of 72 degrees.
- Create the largest amount of additional space.
- Higher loft conversions cost in Southampton than other conversions.
- Require planning permission.
