Ealing Loft Conversions

BNS Lofts

Ealing

Ealing is a busy district of West London, full of life, things to do and lots of people from all walks of life. You’ll find festivals, sporting events, quick and easy transport to other areas of the City, and a great food scene that feeds its growing population. In terms of housing, Ealing has almost every housing type you can think of. Whether you’re a fan of older homes (think Victorian, Edwardian) or something a little more current, Ealing has something to offer everyone.

Why should I get a loft conversion in Ealing? 

Space in Ealing can be hard to come by, and if you’ve looked at the property market recently you’ll know that prices are through the roof. Prices don’t look like dropping anytime soon, so it’s time to get creative! That’s where loft conversions come in. You’re essentially taking space you already have, or space available to you, and turning it into a beautiful new room for you and your family to enjoy.

If you do decide to cash in on the London property boom in the future, your home will now be worth more. Seeing as people are desperate for homes with space in the city, they’re willing to pay extra to make it happen. You can enjoy the extra space now, and profit from it later on.

Types of loft conversions:

There’s plenty of choice when it comes to loft conversions, and a lot of the final decision comes down to the space you have available and how you want the finished article to look. Get a feel for the different types of loft conversions here:

Dormer –  This involves adding a ‘box shape’ to the top of your house, like the one in the picture below. Part of your existing roof is removed, and the ‘box shape’ is then added to give you more space and headroom.

Hip-to-gable – It’s where a sloping roof is remodelled into a vertical gable wall. In non-builder speak,  that means we transform a sloped roof, with cramped space inside, into a more open, spacious area by extending the ridge on your roof vertically.

Hip-to-gable and rear dormer loft – Hip to gable and rear dormer loft conversions are a mixture of the two: changing your sloping roof into a vertical one, as well as adding a box-like structure onto your roof to create space that wasn’t previously there for you to enjoy.

L-shaped dormer – The name gives it away! It’s an ‘L-shape’, which is created by connecting two dormers together at right angles. The larger dormer will sit on your main roof, whilst the smaller one is built on the rear roof.

Mansard – Think of a Mansard as an extension to the entire plane of the roof on your house. You can normally find them at the rear of your property, and they work by changing the ‘slope’ on your roof into an almost vertical angle (at least 72 degrees).

Skylight/Velux – In essence, you transform loft space that you already have available, by adding in Velux windows to give the room a whole new purpose.
