Joiner Edinburgh is a leading specialist in designing, building and installing bespoke loft and attic conversions in Edinburgh.

Can Your Loft or Attic be Converted?

Most lofts and attics can be converted, yet you may need to meet some requirements or have a warrant. One requirement is a minimum head height of 2.3m from the top of the floor joist to the bottom of the apex.

Most loft conversions do not need a building warrant, but it does depend on the area you live in, the building you are converting and your local council guidelines.

Types of Conversions:

Dormer loft conversions – involves an extension of the existing sloping roof to create more headroom and a larger, more usable space. This type of conversion can transform a cramped loft to a larger space with more natural light.

Mansard loft conversions – these are usually situated at the rear of a property. The roof remains flat and the back wall slopes inwards at an angle. These are an ideal conversion for terraced houses and older properties, so perfect for the period properties in Edinburgh. This type of conversion usually requires planning permission due to changes in the roof shape.

Hip to Gable loft conversions – involves straightening an inwardly slanting end roof to create a vertical wall with the extended ridge meeting the gable, adding more space and headroom to your loft. These conversions are suitable for detached or end of terrace homes.

Velux/rooflight loft conversions – Velux are the types of windows that are usually used in this type of conversion. These conversions involve adding windows into your loft to add natural light and create more of a usable space. They do not require external alterations and so are the quickest and cheapest option.

Benefits of a Loft Conversion

• Loft or attic conversions create an extra living space in your home – whether this is an extra bedroom, a home office, a bathroom, storage space, or whatever meets your needs most.
• Conversions allow you to make the most of the property you own rather than completing an extension or moving to a new house altogether.
• Conversions also allow you to make the most of the space on your property by building up rather than taking up vital garden space or extending your property – this is especially vital for those living in Edinburgh City Centre in a built-up area.
• Adds heightened views and natural light to your home – overlook the beautiful sights of Edinburgh city, or the stunning nature surrounding it, in a room filled with rays of light.
• An attic conversion adds better insulation which can be helpful with keeping the heat in during the cold Scottish weather and helps with energy bills in the winter.
• Conversions can add up to 25% to the value of your home.

If you rent out your property, then a loft conversion as an extra bedroom is an ideal space to rent out.
