Dormer Loft Conversion

Dormer Loft Conversions are considered the High End of having a loft conversion. This is far more peoples ideal choice due to the roof coming out and back down onto a nearly right angle structural wall. 

Positive Reasons for a Dormer Loft Conversion

• More Space 
• No need to move out but rather move up 
• Extra feeling of a normal room 
• That bit more room to have either En-suite or Walk-in Wardrope. 
• Higher Price Value for building 
• Considered the majority of the time to be 

Traditional Loft Conversion

Traditional Loft Conversions are when there is not a lot of roof structure re-design needed and kept to a minimal. Normally were Velux or Roof Skylights are added for additional light. The roofs pitch is normally kept. If the roof pitch is not sufficient then a traditional loft conversion would not be sufficient to have and may have to discuss other options. Elite Builders Cardiff would normally not recommend installing a traditional loft conversion with a pitch less than 45 degrees. This is to aid reaching the ideal head height of normally 2 metres when walking into the loft area. 

Positive Reasons for a Traditional Loft Conversion

 We Can Install a loft into many old and new Houses Bungalows and Buildings

 Cut roofs are more common to put a Loft conversion into than a Prefabricated Truss Roof

 All of our Loft Conversions are signed off by Building Control. A Third Party Company, Normally the local Council, but can also be a private independent firm. 

We always aim to reach the ideal head height of 2 Metres when we design our Loft conversions this is for peoples leisure of not hitting their head as walking into the loft. 

Every Dormer Loft Conversion is always completely different that we build and never is one exactly the same as the other this can be as even if one loft was built next door to the other. Elite Builders Cardiff are Bespoke builders on all levels of niche trades. There is always a range of difference why lofts can never be the same such as:-

• Building Regulations are forever changing and improving how they want things done.
• Architects and Structural engineers alter and like things different.
• Never is one loft the exact same as another in size.
• Certain plans may be allowed in one area but not in another.
• Certain materials may be discontinued but normally a better material is made available. 

If you are thinking of having a loft done please call and speak to us in regards to your loft we may be able to help from the planning to the building of it and finally getting it signed off for being a new development to your home or building.
