As our teams of loft conversions London builders and designer use different methods, it is important that you know what the different types are. We use the Rear Dormer, the Mansard, the Hip to Gable and the Velux.
The next type of conversion that our loft conversions London team might suggest is the Mansard method. This method is built by extending or raising the walls on either side of your home. This is done by bricks and, after building it, the loft conversions London team will create a timber frame between these newly built walls.
To comply with building and planning requirements, the loft conversions London team will build it with a 72 degrees backwards slope that is will also add some new visual qualities to your existing structure. This is very similar to the Rear Dormer method.
If a unit with exactly the same amount of floor space is built for each method, then the Mansard will have slightly less full head height due to the backwards slope angle, but if you require more full head height space, then the advantage is that because the building structure is being adapted slightly, it can be possible.
Our loft conversions London team will never do any work without you approval and consent and will work closely with you to find the best method for your specific needs and to do as little structure rendering as is possible.
The Mansard is very popular amongst home owners with Victorian style buildings as this addition can really add a very complimentary look to the home.
