Dormer Loft Conversions

Dorma Loft Conversions specialists in Kent

Most homeowners considering a loft conversion in Kent naturally choose a dormer conversion. This is the ‘go-to’ type of loft conversion for adding extra headroom to a low height loft space, making the room more functional. The project involves adding a new extension to your property from your existing pitched roof, creating a box-shaped structure that protrudes from the slopes of the roof.

A dormer loft conversion is similar to a mansard conversion. However, the dormer’s box-shaped extension creates much more space than the additional space added by the softer, sloped mansard.

The Benefits of a Dormer Loft Conversion

The main benefit here is space, which is why dormer loft conversions are so popular. With strategic planning and professional design, a good dormer could add as much as 50 cubic metres of functional space to your home, which makes it ideal if you’re starting to feel a little cramped, or if you’re expecting a new addition. And as a bonus, this new space will be light and airy thanks to the dormer windows. These are designed to draw natural light into the area, for a fresh and welcoming feel.

Another potential benefit of a dormer loft conversion is that many designs fall under permitted development conditions. This means that you may not be required to get planning permission for the extension. And if you do need to, we’ll take care of everything for you, right through from start to finish.

Types of Dormer Loft Conversion

There are various styles of dormer loft conversion. The best option for you will be down to whether your house is terraced, or detached/semi-detached. The shape of your roof will also be a factor. One popular type of dormer loft conversion in Kent is the flat roof dormer. It’s a straightforward job to add this to a loft, either at the front or the back. It increases the usable space, adds headroom, and allows more light in.

What can a Dormer be Used for?

Dormer lofts are often transformed into bedrooms, as they lend themselves well to incorporating an en-suite bathroom. While en-suite loft bathrooms may not be quite as spacious as the main bathroom, that doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful. With a passion for creativity, our team loves a good challenge, working strategically to fit a toilet, sink, bath, and shower into even the smallest of en-suite spaces.
