Types of Loft Conversions
Dormer loft conversions
The most popular option, adding headroom and floor space by extending vertically from the existing roof. What’s included:
- Rear, side or L-shaped dormer structures
- Structural steel and roofing work
- Velux and casement window installation
- Insulation and fire safety to current building regs
- Full building control sign-off
Hip-to-gable and rooflight conversions
Better suited to some roof shapes and properties, particularly semi-detached and detached homes with a sloping side roof. What’s included:
- Hip-to-gable structural alterations
- Rooflight (Velux-style) conversions where headroom already allows
- Staircase design and installation
- Electrics, plumbing (for en-suites) and plastering
- Joinery and full decoration finish
Converting a loft in Exmouth and Sidmouth
Most loft conversions fall under permitted development, but there are limits on volume, height and positioning, and properties in conservation areas or flats typically need a full planning application. Sidmouth in particular has a significant conservation area and a number of listed buildings along the seafront and in the town centre, so we check this for every project before work starts — it’s built into our process, not an afterthought.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a loft conversion cost in Exmouth or Sidmouth?
It depends on the type of conversion, structural work needed, and your specification. A simple rooflight conversion costs less than a full dormer with an en-suite. We give a clear, itemised quote after assessing your property.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development, but there are limits on volume, height and position, and conservation areas or flats usually need a full application. We handle this as part of every project.
How long does a loft conversion take?
A typical dormer loft conversion takes 8–12 weeks from start to finish; simpler rooflight conversions can be quicker. We give you a clear schedule at quote stage.
What type of loft conversion suits my house?
It depends on your roof structure and ridge height. Dormer conversions work well for most semi-detached and detached homes; hip-to-gable suits properties with a sloping side roof. We assess your property and recommend the right approach rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.
