Loft Conversions in Cheltenham
Transform your unused attic into a stylish and practical living space with a bespoke loft conversion, suitable for homes throughout Cheltenham, Cirencester, Stow-on-the-Wold and the wider Gloucestershire area.
Maximise Space and Add Value with a Custom Loft Conversion From Mint Builders
Property conversions are an alternative to space-creating home improvements. Unlike house extensions, which compromise part of the patio, garden, side entry, or even the driveway, they are designed to create space within your home’s existing structure. Examples include loft, garage and basement conversions. Barn conversions are another alternative.
These projects can unlock valuable room for an attic room, loft room, gym, playroom, extra bedroom or extra living space. They can also create another toilet, music room, library or hobby room, giving you the benefits of a bigger home without the upheaval of moving. In other words, don’t move; improve.
Since 2007, Mint Builders has been a pioneer in property conversions, renovations and kitchen extensions, offering a unique range of designs for homeowners in Cheltenham, Cirencester, Stow-on-the-Wold and the surrounding areas we cover. Our loft conversions, including dormer, hip-to-gable, mansard, and roof light designs, are not just about creating space, but about enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of your home.
Many Gloucestershire properties are ideally suited for such alterations, so we’ve developed a respected reputation for our imaginative, turnkey results. We’re known for our reliability, creative insight, and exemplary workmanship, all of which help us stand apart from our competitors.
Loft Conversion Solutions for All Property Styles
Your conversion is a home improvement project and a time-saving solution. Depending on the roof’s design, there is a new interior to suit. And, with most of the work in already constructed areas, loft conversions take considerably less time to complete than other alterations.
This means you can enjoy your new space sooner without the hassle of a lengthy construction process. Why not talk to our experienced team at Mint Builders today about that new living area, home office or bespoke master bedroom suite?
Dormer Conversions
These popular loft conversions extend vertically from the roof to add extra headroom and usable attic space. They are ideal for creating additional bedrooms, offices or open-plan living areas and enhancing natural light and ventilation. Our dormer conversions increase property value and functionality, providing a cost-effective way to expand living space.
Hip-to-Gable Conversions
Hip-to-gable conversions transform a sloping roof into a vertical wall, maximising floor and head space. Suited for homes in Cheltenham, Cirencester, and Stow-on-the-Wold with hipped roofs, they create substantial room for additional bedrooms or living areas, with the opportunity to insert a spacious bathroom within the newly constructed space.
Mansard Conversions
Stunningly visual, mansard conversions involve altering the roof structure to create a near-vertical wall and flat roof. Most common in urban areas with surrounding views, they are perfect for open-plan kitchens and comfortable living areas. Mansards blend seamlessly with existing architecture, enhancing property value and offering stylish, spacious interiors.
Velux Conversions/Rooflight Conversions
Known as both Velux and rooflight conversions, these renovations transform an attic into a usable space by installing skylights for natural light while leaving the roof’s structure as it is. They are straightforward loft transformations that maintain your home’s exterior appearance while providing additional living space. This cost-effective solution will still improve property value and functionality with minimal structural changes.
FAQs – Loft Conversions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Loft conversions fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission in most cases, especially if they don’t significantly alter the roofline. However, planning approval may be necessary if your home is in a conservation area or the design is particularly complex. We’ll guide you through all regulations to ensure full compliance.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Most loft conversions take between 6 and 10 weeks to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the project. We’ll provide a clear timeline at the outset and keep you informed every step of the way.
Can I convert my loft if I have a truss roof?
Yes, it’s possible. While truss roofs are more challenging to convert than traditional cut roofs, our team has the expertise to reinforce the structure and create a safe, usable space.
Will a loft conversion add value to my home?
Absolutely. A professionally designed loft conversion can increase your property’s value by up to 20%, especially if it adds a bedroom and bathroom. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to expand your living space.
