Loft Conversions
Looking for a bespoke loft conversion in Felixstowe. Look no further, M&B are specialists in many types of conversions. The type of loft conversions we recommend for your property will depend on a number of factors – property style, roof height, available space, conservation area, local planning regulations, your budget and needs. Below are a few styles we can offer;
Dormer loft conversion
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. It is the most common type of loft conversion, as the flat roof dormers often add the maximum amount of additional space.
A major advantage of a dormer loft conversion is that it can often be constructed without gaining planning permission, although planning permission may be required depending on the specifications.

Mansard loft conversion
A mansard loft conversion, named after the 17th-century French Architect Francois Mansard, is situated to the rear of the property. The Double mansard can also have the front and back with windows. This type of conversion has a flat roof, with the windows usually housed within small dormers which extend from the roof to create additional space.

Rooflight loft conversions
With this type of project, the roofline is unaltered, as the windows are installed fitting on to the roofline, leaving the original roof structure untouched. Therefore, planning permission is not generally required, making it an attractive option for many. Also, due to the fact that no large alterations need to be made to the roof, the cost of the conversion generally remains lower.

Hip-to-gable loft conversion
The majority of houses that are hip roofed in style tend to have a reasonably small internal volume, so for a conversion to be practical, this type of conversion is a smart solution. It involves changing the sloping side of the property to a flat roof gable end. This increases the size of the loft space. As this type of loft conversion changes the outline of the roof, planning permissions may well be required.

The space is often used as a spare bedroom, home office or even large luxury bathroom as the size is sufficient for a small double, large single, large office, playroom or even nursery.
