Specialist loft conversion company in Hackney, Touchstone Lofts
Hip To Gable Conversion
Hip to Gable conversions are popular among Hackney homeowners with semi-detached or detached properties, end of terraces, and bungalows. The existing sloping roof is turned into a flat gable to increase available space. Depending on various factors, a hip to gable extension may or may not require planning permission. We can help you with this and apply on your behalf.
Dormer Conversion
Dormer loft conversions are the most common type requested by Hackney residents. With a dormer conversion, we extend the existing roof vertically to create extra floor space and headroom. To achieve this, it is important that at least half of the current floor space has a ceiling height of at least two metres or higher. Dormers usually do not require planning permission.
Rooflight Loft Conversion
A rooflight loft conversion in Hackney is the most simple and economical type available. With a rooflight loft conversion, the roof remains unchanged, other than the installation of attractive flush windows to give plenty of natural light. Typically, a Rooflight attic conversion does not need planning permission as the roof structure remains unchanged. This is the perfect solution if you want minimal outlay and disruption.
