Converting Lofts and Attics Orpington
Loft conversions in Orpington transform unused roof space into a fully functional room such as a bedroom, home office or en suite, with the scope of work and structure varying depending on your roof type.
It is one of the most popular types of work we are asked to carry out and we would love the opportunity to help you. We manage everything from start to finish, including initial preparation, scaffolding, timber carpentry, roof works where needed, and all interior finishing such as flooring, plasterboarding, plumbing and electrical installation.
The main types of conversions include:
- Dormer – a structural box that projects outward from the roof slope to provide full height headroom and additional window space
- Hip to Gable – extending a sloping hipped side out to a vertical gable wall to increase volume, commonly suited to semi detached and end of terrace properties
- Mansard – rebuilding one or both roof slopes to a near vertical angle with a flat roof above, maximising usable space and often requiring planning permission
- Velux or rooflight – retaining the existing roofline and fitting windows directly into the slope where sufficient headroom already exists
- L shaped – combining a main rear dormer with a second dormer over the rear addition outrigger, typically found on period terrace homes
Across all conversion types, the work includes structural alterations to the roof, new floor joists, staircase fitting, insulation in line with current building regulations and a complete internal fit out.
Alongside our loft converting services in Orpington, we also provide interior remodeling, rendering and plastering, structural wall work and a range of other services.
