What is a side dormer loft conversion?
In order to increase the head height, floor area, and natural light in your loft, a side dormer loft conversion entails extending your roof outward on the side elevation. It is particularly well suited to homes with hipped roofs, as these frequently do not have the standing height required to create a functional room.
We can turn previously small spaces into functional, cosy living areas that feel like a seamless extension of the house by building a side dormer. If you want a more modern appearance, the dormer can be styled to match your current roofline for a subtle finish.
As a flexible conversion type, it offers homeowners an efficient method to make the most of neglected loft space while maintaining the property’s external appearance.
Why Choose a Side Dormer Loft Conversion?
A lot of homeowners choose a side dormer loft conversion since it offers impressive versatility and delivers significant quantities of usable space without altering the home’s footprint. For those who don’t want the stress of relocating, a loft conversion provides the room they need while keeping them in the area they're familiar with and love.
Due to the structure's inherent suitability for a dormer extension, it is especially well-liked by homes with hipped roofs. A side dormer can also increase your property’s market value, making it not only an affordable option but also a smart long-term investment. The additional height and space make it perfect for a variety of applications, whether you're building a new bedroom, home office or ensuite.
In many cases, planning permission is not required because the work can fall under permitted development; however, this does depend on your specific property. At Prestidge Carpentry, we help you navigate everything so the process remains smooth and stress-free.
Side dormer loft conversion process
1. Initial consultation
We start the project with a pleasant home visit during which we examine your present loft, share your thoughts and give candid, practical advice.
Such an approach helps us know your aims and it is very likely that the area is appropriate for a side dormer conversion.
2. Design & planning
At this stage you want to go on, we create detailed drawings and layout plans.
Besides, we take care of the planning permission or building regulations requirements, ensuring that everything is compliant and construction ready.
3. Structural construction
The next step for our crew is to construct the dormer, reinforce the roof and put in place all necessary frameworks.
The new space is now formed during this phase, and it will be safe, strong and perfectly consistent with the existing roofline.
4. Interior installation
Upon the completion of the structure, we go inside to put in place the insulation, flooring, electrics, plumbing (if necessary), windows and plastering.
The shell is then turned into a usable room that is almost ready for the final touches.
5. Finishing & handover
Skirting, doors, decoration, and any custom carpentry like wardrobes or eaves storage mark the completion of the project.
After a concluding walkthrough aimed at confirming everything is flawless, your finished loft conversion is handed over, and you are free to use it.

What can a side dormer loft conversion be used for?

Others homeowners go for their own office, particularly useful for those working remotely and looking for a bright, quiet workspace. households often choose to convert the loft into a children’s bedroom or guest room, helping to ease the burden on existing living areas.
