Loft Conversions

Loft Conversions from Joseph James Loft Conversions are the perfect solution to your extra living space needs.

Our vast experience combined with our top-quality workmanship and professional, highly skilled staff ensures that your loft conversion project will go as smoothly as possible, providing you with the extra space you need without the need for costly home extensions that can encroach on your valuable garden space.

From start to project finish you will be advised of every detail of our work ensuring your total involvement and control over the conversion, meaning that every aspect of the build is discussed and clarified with you. We can also bring in our Professional Planning and Design team to help you create the perfect conversion, tailored exactly to your needs.

To ensure maximum usage of your new space, we will discuss with you in detail what you wish to achieve from the conversion and we will help you in deciding the best options available for the conversion.

We appreciate that each home has its own character and our aim is to create extra living space for you that enhances your home’s character and blends in perfectly with its existing look and feel.

Box Dormer

A dormer loft conversion is an extension to the existing roof that projects vertically from a sloping roof, creating additional floor space and headroom within the property. Internally, a dormer has vertical walls and a horizontal ceiling. A dormer is the most common type of loft conversion, as flat roof dormers often add the maximum amount of additional space.

Full width Dormer

A full-width dormer loft conversion extends vertically out from the existing roofline, and runs the length of the building. This will create a considerable amount of additional loft space, making it perfect for those who want to create a master suite or a luxurious living area. This type of loft conversion maximises the available space and creates a completely different feel from any other type of loft conversion.

Hip to Gable

A hip to gable conversion is another way to make use of the roof space in your home. Many homes have ‘hipped’ roofs with sloping sides, and a hip to gable conversion entails replacing the sloping roof with a vertical wall. The sloping roof is removed and the wall erected to match the height of the ridge along the roof, adding a generous amount of space to your home

L-Shape Dormer

The L shaped dormer is the most popular loft conversion for the Victorian and Edwardian type property, providing a conversion that is great value for money while maximising the space available.

VELUX Loft Conversions

A Velux loft conversion requires considerably less construction work than a dormer or other types of conversion.  You can add an extra bedroom, living room or office cheaply and quickly – and start enjoying your new conversion within weeks.

cottage Dormer

A dormer is a structure that is built projecting out of the roof of a building. It will usually have wall space for windows and might have a different pitch from the main roof, and/or a roofline that is perpendicular to the main roof. They are eye-catching and can turn a drab building into something quite fabulous and can give cottages that extra living space.

roof Lift

If you need a new loft conversion but the existing attic space doesn’t have the headroom to make it viable, then a roof-lift is the solution. A roof-lift conversion is where the ridge line of your existing roof is raised by constructing a new roof to the right height and pitch, providing all the additional space needed to create a really good sized room or rooms.

As this type of loft conversion modifies the existing height of the roof line, then it will require planning permission.
