Forms of Loft Conversion
C.N Smith Builders offers a variety of loft conversion styles, ensuring there’s a solution to suit every property type and personal preference. Each style comes with its own advantages, and our team is here to guide homeowners around Storrington and Horsham in making the best choice for their home and budget.
- Velux Conversions: These are ideal for properties with plenty of headroom. Velux windows are installed directly into the roof slope, flooding your new room with natural light while preserving the existing roof structure.
- Dormer Conversions: If you need additional floor space and headroom, a dormer conversion is an excellent option. This involves extending your roof vertically, creating a spacious and versatile area suitable for larger furniture or additional rooms.
- Hip to Gable Conversions: Well-suited to semi-detached homes, this type of conversion extends the hipped roof into a vertical gable wall, significantly increasing internal space.
- Mansard Conversions: These involve structural changes to create a steeply sloped roof with a flat top, offering the most usable space. They’re particularly suitable for urban properties where maximising space is essential.
- Modular Conversions: Prefabricated sections are craned into place for a quick and efficient build. These are ideal for time-sensitive projects or when minimising disruption is a priority.
Whether you’re interested in a straightforward Velux attic conversion or a comprehensive loft renovation, we’ll help you choose the best style to achieve your goals.
