Loft Conversions in Swadlincote and South Derbyshire
A loft conversion is one of the most cost effective ways to add space and value to your home. At AB Construction Ltd, we've converted lofts across Swadlincote into bedrooms, home offices, playrooms and en-suite bathrooms. Our experienced team handles everything from structural calculations to the final coat of paint.
Services offered
- Dormer loft conversions, the most popular choice
- Hip to gable conversions, ideal for semi-detached and detached homes
- Velux and rooflight conversions, the most cost effective option
- L-shaped loft conversions for larger properties
- Mansard loft conversions for maximum headroom
- Bungalow loft conversions
Choosing the right type of conversion
Which loft conversion suits your house depends mostly on the roof structure you're starting with and how much headroom you need. A Velux conversion is the simplest and most affordable option since it works within the existing roofline, but it won't add as much usable floor space as a dormer, which extends outward to create a flat ceiling and more standing room. Hip to gable conversions suit semi-detached and detached houses with a sloped side roof, effectively squaring off the roof shape to gain extra volume.
Most loft conversions fall under permitted development and don't need full planning permission, though there are limits on volume and height that we'll check against your specific property. Building regulations always apply regardless, covering structural support, fire escape routes and insulation, and we handle the structural engineering calculations as part of the project.
