Having been in the industry for over 30 years we know exactly how to convert your loft in order to add significant value to your house. Not only does an extension save you the hassle and expense of moving house, it also provides you with valuable extra space.  
Getting a loft conversion makes sense if you need the extra space. Very few people actually use their loft for anything other than storing old toys, furniture and junk.  A loft conversion will make full use of that wasted space and it can enhance the value of your property. Many people in the Catford and Lewisham area with mid terrace Victorian houses are opting for conversions for these very reasons.
Extending your loft is also a very economic decision. At least half of all homeowners cannot afford to move home so converting the space you already have is an affordable way to gain the extra space that is needed.
One of the most common types of loft conversions in Catford and Lewisham is the rear dormer conversion for mid terrace Victorian houses. This type of extension is most commonly used when people haven’t got enough room in their existing attic as it creates extra headroom.
This type of conversion involves a dormer window being put in as part of the exterior conversion. It is built at the rear of the roof to provide floor and living space and is generally a square section construction which maximises the overall living area. The extra space that you will be left with will have been created by adding extra depth to your existing roof.
One of the main advantages of a dormer conversion is that it’s cheaper than some other types of conversions, yet can increase the value of your house by 10 – 20 percent. Often you don’t even have to get planning permission for this type of conversion but it is advisable to find out about this first.
