Loft Conversions in Worthing and the Surrounding Areas
An Alternative to Home Extensions
Our loft conversions effectively maximise your home’s living space by transforming an unused attic into a fully functional area. Different conversion types cater to varying structural needs and aesthetic preferences, with the most popular designs being dormers, rooflights, hip-to-gable, and mansards.
Our FMB-accredited builders at PG Property Repairs & Renovations are on hand to design and create a new attic space that will benefit your entire family. From additional bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms to entertainment areas with kitchen facilities, your Worthing home can be transformed with minimal alterations to its exterior architecture.
We also construct a range of home extensions, should you prefer to create extra space by utilising the area surrounding your property instead. As our website gallery and online reviews will show, whichever way you need your home to work for you, we’re the company to do it.
Dormer Conversions
A dormer conversion involves extending the existing roof to create additional headroom and floor space. This extension projects vertically from the sloping roof, forming a box-like structure with vertical walls and a flat or pitched roof.
Increased Space: Dormer loft conversions provide substantial additional space, making the attic more functional for various uses such as bedrooms or living areas
Improved Headroom: By raising the roof, dormers create more usable headroom, improving comfort and usability
Natural Light: Dormers typically feature large windows, enhancing the inflow of natural light and ventilation
Versatility: Suitable for most property types in and around Worthing, including terraced, semi-detached, and detached houses
Rooflight Conversions
Rooflight or Velux conversions involve installing windows directly into the existing roofline without altering its shape. These windows are typically skylights or roof lights, providing natural light and ventilation.
Cost-Effective: Rooflight conversions are generally the most affordable type of loft conversion as they require minor structural alterations
Minimal Disruption: The construction process is less invasive, resulting in reduced disruption to the household during the build
Planning Permission: Rooflight conversions often fall under permitted development rights, negating the need for planning permission
Retained Aesthetics: Maintains your property’s original roofline and exterior appearance, preserving its character
Hip-to-Gable Conversions
A hip-to-gable conversion involves extending the sloping (hipped) side of the roof outwards to form a vertical wall (gable), increasing the internal volume of the loft space. This conversion is commonly done on semi-detached or detached houses with hipped roofs.
Substantial Space Addition: A conversion of the previously unused hip area into valuable living space offers ample room for various functions
Improved Structural Integrity: The new gable wall provides additional support and stability to the roof structure
Aesthetic Cohesion: When done on one side, it can be balanced with a dormer on the other for a symmetrical look
Seamless Integration: These conversions blend well with the existing architecture, maintaining the home’s overall aesthetic appeal
Mansard Conversions
A mansard conversion involves altering roof slopes to create a near-vertical wall with a flat or shallow-sloping roof. This type of conversion typically requires substantial structural changes and may include replacing the entire roof structure.
Maximum Space: This type of conversion provides the most significant increase in usable space compared to other types, making it ideal for adding multiple rooms
Flexible Design: The flat or shallow-sloping roof allows for versatile room layouts, including spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, or even open-plan living areas
Enhanced Aesthetics: Mansards can transform your Worthing property’s exterior appearance, adding a distinctive architectural element
Increased Market Value: The significant additional space and improved aesthetics can considerably boost property value
