Velux Loft Conversions

Where your roof already has the height, a Velux conversion is the most cost-effective way to gain a bright new room, with roof windows set neatly into the existing slope.

The detail

What is a Velux loft conversion?

A Velux conversion, sometimes called a rooflight conversion, keeps your roof shape exactly as it is and fits roof windows into the existing slope. Because there is no structural change to the outside of the roof, it is the most affordable conversion and usually the quickest.

It works where your loft already has enough head height to stand and move around. The result is a light, calm room, ideal for a bedroom, home office or studio, without changing the look of your house from the street.

  • The most cost-effective loft conversion
  • No change to the shape of your roof

What it costs

What a velux conversion costs.

No two roofs are the same, so treat the range as a starting point rather than a price. The survey is free and the written price that follows it is fixed.

Velux loft conversions

Your questions, answered.

Will a Velux conversion suit my loft?

It works where your loft already has enough head height to stand and use comfortably. If the height is not there, we would recommend a dormer instead, and we tell you honestly on the survey.

Does it need planning permission?

Roof windows rarely need planning permission as they do not change the roof shape, though conservation areas can differ. We confirm this for you.

Is it cheaper than a dormer?

Yes. Because there is no structural change to the roof, a Velux conversion is the most affordable option where the head height already exists.
