Loft Conversions Types

The different types of conversions that we offer include;-

Velux Loft Conversions St Albans

Velux loft conversions are one of the simplest and cheapest solutions for extra space and work best when there is ample headroom* so you can make full use of all space available. Compared to other types of loft conversions, Velux conversions generally require less construction work and are therefore not as disruptive allowing more light into your property by better utilising the existing roof. Velux loft conversions are one of the simplest but most elegant types of conversions we offer and expected completions are within four to five weeks.

Dormer Loft Conversions St Albans

Here at Apex Loft Conversions, we are also able to design and install dormer loft conversions in St Albans and the surrounding areas. Dormer loft conversions are constructed and created by adding an extension to your roof to provide extra room and additional headspace. These types of loft conversions are particularly popular for catering to growing family needs without having to move home. The dormer loft conversions creates additional space in your current property without the hassle, energy and money required to move the house.

Hip To Gable Loft Conversions St Albans

Another popular option for homeowners that want to extend their current living space. Hip to Gable loft conversions may be particularly beneficial for semi-detached or detached properties with a hipped roof as these types of conversions are ideal for gaining more liveable space in your home. The work will essentially extend the side roof area so that the hipped roof which formerly sloped inwards becomes a vertical wall (turning it into a gable roof), creating extra usable space inside the loft.

Why Loft Conversions?

When it comes to home construction, loft conversions are by far one of the most popular options for homeowners. There are so many benefits to investing in loft conversions that you will reap for * years to come.

This is ideal if you have a growing family and need your loft to be converted into a bedroom or study room. Furthermore, it’s a much cheaper option that involves less fuss and hassle. As well as generally creating a bigger home, it shouldn’t be surprising to find that your loft conversion will increase the property value.

Loft Conversion ST ALBANS - FAQs

Which type of loft conversion is suitable for my property?: The type of loft conversion most suitable for your property depends on a number of factors including the style of your home, the existing roof structure, available space, and your specific requirements. We offer three different styles of loft conversions, including Velux Dormer and Hip-to-Gable. We offer a FREE survey to assess your home's suitability which helps us to choose the best option that meets your needs and budget.
Will my loft conversion require a party wall agreement?: A party wall agreement will be required if your property is semi-detached or terraced. This type of agreement is required when sharing walls with neighbours and a conversion can not go ahead without it. It's recommended and highly advised that you give your neighbours at least two months in advance of the loft conversion to give them sufficient time to respond and / or approve.
Can you provide home office loft conversions?: Yes, of course. Apex Loft Conversions can convert unused loft spaces into fully functioning home offices conversions. The design process for home office loft conversions is a crucial part of the process. The practicality and functionality of your dream home office should be major considerations here to ensure comfortability. For home office loft conversions, either dormer loft conversions or hip-to-gable loft conversions are usually selected after the initial survey.
Can I add a staircase to my loft?: Of course! Our highly-experienced team are able to design and construct space-saving loft staircases at properties. Loft staircases can be effortlessly fitted with minimal fuss or disruption and the turnaround time is pretty impressive too with safety a top priority. The aim is to provide a seamless transition to access your once unused and inaccessible loft area.
How much headroom do I need for a loft conversion?: For a loft conversion to go ahead, approximately 2.2 metres of headroom is required. However, even lower ceilings can be worked around with design adjustments like dormers. It's always the best decision to get in touch with us so we can arrange an initial FREE survey to audit your requirements and ensure suitability.
How do I know if my loft in St Albans can be converted?: There is actually a minimum height requirement of 2.2 metres (from the floor to the highest point in your loft) for a loft conversion to be a viable option. It is possible to do it if you have less room however this may involve lowering the ceilings on your first floor which can be technically difficult and be far less practical - though is still possible.
How do I get a quote from you?: You can obtain a quote with us here at Apex Loft Conversions in a number of ways. You’ll initially need to get in contact by one of many ways including the telephone on 07468 415 806, email, social media direct messages, or by filling out the form on our website. Once we’ve received your inquiry a member of the team will get back to you immediately whereupon we will discuss your project and requirements in more detail. This usually results in a meeting where we will come out, take more measurements and build an accurate quotation from there.
How long have you been running?: We’ve been operating in St Albans and the surrounding area for nearly 30 years. We’ve been lucky enough to create some absolutely stunning conversions if we do say so ourselves. By working closely with you as the customer and finding out what your vision is, it’s truly amazing what your project can result in. Over this long period of time, we have also built a fantastic network and reputation running alongside which we are extremely grateful for. We value every one of our customers and we’ve been lucky enough to receive referrals from them which is a testament to the quality of our work.
How much does a loft conversion cost?: This is quite an open question that is difficult to provide a specific answer to. The reason for this is that there are so many variables involved including the size of the house, the height of the conversion, all the finishes, and many more. There is no bog-standard loft conversion much the same as there is no standard house you live in. It is all tailor-made to your preferences and that’s the way it should be. We try to provide as much of an accurate quote as possible, however, this does vary slightly upon the project commencing. What we can do is provide regular updates on expenditure as the project progresses.
Can I see a couple of designs for inspiration?: Yes of course! We have built a fabulous portfolio of work over the years so we’ll happily show it off. We have also been lucky enough to see other conversions which have been curated and put into a document for this very process. We want to offer a diverse range of options and feel you deserve to see it all, so we can go through this with you in detail when the time comes.

The best experience, from the first visit, to the completion of the project. Committed, trustworthy, excellent communication, superb quality of work, finished in 5 weeks as promised, I highly recommend.
Branka Platten (St Albans)

I have the best experience, the most professional, committed, caring company and I would highly recommend them. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the first visit, communication before and during the work, and post work care, it's just fantastic. I met two hard working guys, who, every day, arrived on time, 8am, worked so hard, and completed the whole project as agreed, in 5 weeks. Two years later, I am still so happy with the quality of work and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Apex did our loft conversion with L-shaped dormer in November 2018. It's added two bedrooms and a bathroom to our house and we are absolutely delighted with it. The guys worked really hard throughout, kept everything clean and tidy, were absolutely no trouble to have around, kept us fully up to speed and finished the job in less than 6 weeks (which is the time they'd indicated it would take). It was a stress free process (even with an under one year old in the house at the time!). We would 100% recommend Apex.
