A dormer loft conversion changes the appearance of the exterior of your home by projecting vertically from the sloping roof. There are several different types of dormer loft conversions, and a flat roof dormer is the most common style in the UK, and on semi-detached properties, a side dormer is often used to accommodate the stairs. At Tangram Projects, we will talk through all the options available to you, and the one you choose will depend on your personal taste, budget and the style of your property.

Dormer loft conversions are a common type of attic extension as they are suitable for most properties, including modern houses and certain types of period homes. Another advantage is that they are generally more cost-effective than hip-to-gable or mansard conversions. They usually do not require planning permission; however, there are certain exceptions to this rule, such as if the property is in a conservation area or an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or if the dormer faces the highway at the front. As in all attic conversions, building regulations approval will be needed, and this will ensure that the structure complies with various safety standards. Tangram Projects provide a full range of dormer loft conversions in all areas of London, including East Finchley N2, Finchley N3, Finsbury Park N4, Highbury N5, Highgate N6, Holloway N7, Hornsey N8, Muswell Hill N10, North Finchley N12. This type of extension is suitable for a range of uses, including the creation of an extra bedroom (or bedrooms) with an en-suite bathroom, and if your property is large enough, an attic space can be used to create a small apartment for either family use or for guests.
