A loft conversion is a fantastic way to unlock the hidden potential of your home. It can substantially increase the available living space in your home whilst adding value and character to your property. Here at Pavol Zajac Structural Engineers Ltd, we understand the transformative power of loft conversions and specialise in creating detailed structural drawings for various types of loft conversions.
The Velux Loft Conversion
Imagine bathing your space in natural light and whilst you enjoy panoramic views of the sky. Velux loft conversions are designed to maximise the use of roof windows, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. Our structural engineers will ensure a seamless integration of these windows while maintaining structural integrity.
Dormer Loft Conversions
Efficiently adding both headroom and floor space, dormer conversions extend from the existing roof, creating additional vertical walls and windows. This type of conversion is ideal for maximising usable space and can accommodate various designs, from traditional to modern aesthetics. Pavol Zajac Structural Engineers Ltd meticulously plan dormer conversions, ensuring not only a beautiful extension but also a structurally sound and safe addition to your home.
Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversions
Homes with hipped roofs often have limited loft space. A hip-to-gable conversion involves altering the sloping side of the roof (the hip) to a flat gable end, unlocking valuable space within. Our seasoned engineers at Pavol Zajac Structural Engineers Ltd specialise in this intricate conversion, to help you expand your living area and ensuring a harmonious blend with the existing structure.
Mansard Loft Conversions
For those seeking a substantial transformation, Mansard conversions offer the most significant alteration. They involve altering the entire roof structure to create a nearly vertical wall with a flat roof. This type of conversion delivers substantial additional space, enabling you to craft luxurious living areas.
