Velux
Your roof shape stays exactly as it is – windows are fitted into the existing slope. The least disruptive and most affordable option, but your loft needs good head height already.

Rear dormer
A box-shaped extension built out from the rear roof slope, giving full head height across most of the loft. The most popular choice for terraced and semi-detached homes.

Hip to gable
For homes with a sloping (hipped) side roof. The slope is built up into a flat gable wall, squaring off the loft and adding significant volume.

Rear addition
An outrigger conversion – it extends the loft over the narrower rear wing found on many Victorian and Edwardian terraces.

Mansard
The whole roof is rebuilt with a near-vertical rear wall and a flat roof above. The largest gain in space and head height, but it usually needs planning permission.

Velux hip to gable
The hip is built up to a gable for extra volume, with Velux roof windows instead of a dormer. More space than Velux alone.
