Lofts Types

Most dormer loft conversions also do not require planning permission which is another great factor of this design.

An extension from the sloped roof out to the external wall. Where your roof has more than two sloping sides, it is referred to as ‘hipped’. These roofs limit the space and support available for loft conversions, which means that a hip-to-gable conversion is necessary. A hip to gable loft conversion is a popular option for many semi-detached or detached properties with a hipped roof, which is essentially a roof with a sloping side in addition to the slopes at the front and back.
