Our loft conversions also make extensive use of Velux Roof Windows in their construction. VELUX Roof Windows provide the ideal combination of optimum daylight - letting
in 30% more light than vertical windows, and efficient ventilation to help create a better environment.
A pitched roof window, by its very nature, demands a higher standard of technology than any other type of window.
VELUX have long recognised this. Our technical expertise, competence, and craftsmanship have grown as steadily and
surely as the quality pine used in these products.
Furthermore we are one of the only local building firms to be Local Authority approved contractors and references are available from independent chartered surveyors. We always have show homes of current jobs and completed loft conversions for you to view, just call up to make an appointment for a viewing or a free consultation to assess the suitability of your property for conversion.
DORMER extensions protude out from the roof. The dormer conversion can more than doubled the roof space and gives full headroom throughout the new space. The walls are usually finished with tiles of the same colour and appearance if possible to best match the existing roof. 
VELUX style extension option is generally adequate for those contemplating the smaller
loft conversion, generally for a single bedroom; study etc, where
adequate height is available within the existing loft space. Rooflights
can then be installed with a minimum of disruption.
MANSARD extensions, often required in London, can be built at the rear or the front of
a traditionally styled property. Popular for terraced houses and
flat rooved properties, a mansard will create maximum head height and space.
The general construction method for mansard style loft conversions involves brick sides built off the party wall and has a 72 degree slope to the front wall.
