Loft Conversions 20 Great Ideas

9. - Bring in light

If your budget is limited, the least expensive type of loft conversion design is a 'rooflight' conversion, also known as a 'Velux' conversion after the well-known roof window manufacturer.

This type of conversion only works where there is already a large amount of loft space with full headroom, as the roof itself remains unaltered, other than by cutting in rooflights between rafters.

As no volume is added, planning permission is not required in England and Wales providing the work constitutes Permitted Development (flats, listed properties and properties where Permitted Development rights are restricted or removed will still need consent)
