Our Loft Conversion Services in Poole, Bournemouth, Dorset and beyond.

A loft conversion is a great way to capitalise on space that may not be used in your roof to increase the living space in your property in Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset or beyond! Ross-Read Carpentry and Building have a team of professionals which can offer comprehensive loft conversion services across Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset or further afield.

Like with extensions, loft conversions have been very popular over the last few years, but as the space already exists, can be a cheaper alternative to a traditional extension. We have seen loft extensions being used for many purposes over the years, such as an additional bedroom, an office space, or creating a master bedroom suite! Carrying out a loft conversion can increase the value of your property by 23% or more.

What type of loft conversion across Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset can Ross-Read Carpentry and Building provide?

As with anything in life, there’s a different way of carrying out a loft conversion depending on what you’re working with. Ross-Read Carpentry and Building work with you to provide a unique, bespoke designed loft conversion ensuring that you get the end product that you want.

• Dormer – we use these to increase the usable space in a loft and to create window openings in a roof plane. The term “dormer” is commonly used to refer to a “dormer window” although a dormer does not necessarily contain a window. A dormer is often one of the primary elements of a loft conversion.
• Hip to Gable – Most properties have a regular, ‘hipped’ roof with a sloping side. This means existing loft space is often limited, making it difficult to create a loft conversion without extending your property. This is where hip to gable loft extensions come in. This type of loft conversion extends your property on the sloping side, effectively replacing the sloping roof with a vertical wall (the gable) at the end to the same height as the ridge, and filling in the space in between. If your property has two sloping sides and you replace them both with vertical walls, it will be a double hip to gable loft conversion and will obviously provide you with even more additional space, which is usually a very popular route to take.
