What is a Velux Loft Conversion
​
A Velux loft conversion is a type of conversion where the roofline remains unchanged, and Velux windows are installed to bring natural light into the new space. We exclusively use official Velux windows, known for their quality and warranty.
​
Advantages of a Velux Conversion
​
Velux, or roof light conversions, offer an efficient, cost-effective way to create extra space with minimal disruption. These conversions are ideal where there is ample height between the loft floor and the existing roof ridge, as they require less structural work than other types.
​
Exterior Finish Options
​
Since the roofline remains the same, there are no significant external changes aside from the addition of Velux windows. These windows can be integrated with your current tiles or slates to create a seamless appearance, as though they were part of the original design.
​
Do You Need Planning Permission?
​
If your property has permitted development rights, you can undertake a Velux conversion with a Certificate of Lawfulness, which means you can proceed as long as the project meets council guidelines. If not, planning permission will be required, and work can only begin once approval is granted. We will assess the necessary permissions for your property and handle all applications on your behalf to ensure compliance.
