Attic Conversions | What is a Rooflight Conversion?

Our team transforms unused, dark and cluttered lofts into useful, bright and practical rooms by installing rooflights along the roofline to create a rooflight conversion. We can build pitched rooflights into your existing roofing to allow for improved light flow and ventilation.

These types of loft conversions are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to transform your loft because they don’t involve structural alterations and often don’t require planning permission.

What Are the Benefits of Rooflight Conversions?

Natural Lighting

Rooflights are a great way to introduce natural lighting to your loft. They are large, largely unobstructed, and the installation angle helps provide maximum daylight. Rooflight conversions are the best choice if you want to transform your loft into a naturally lit, cosy and bright living space. 

Affordability

If you don’t want to alter the structural layout of your loft, a rooflight conversion is a great choice because it helps you achieve an updated living space at an affordable price. Compared to other conversion styles, rooflight conversions require less construction work, which helps keep costs down.

Flexible Ventilation

If you keep to the roofline, rooflights can be installed where you like. This flexibility provides greater control over key aspects such as ventilation and lighting. We are happy to advise you on the best placements for your new rooflights based on your existing roof and objectives.

Should I Have a Rooflight Conversion?

Loft conversions can be costly, but they provide numerous benefits and can increase the value of properties in Southampton and the surrounding areas. Choosing the right type of conversion for you will depend on your budget, time and if you can put up with construction work. Deciding on whether you want a rooflight conversion or not is ultimately a personal decision, but if you are looking to maximise natural daylight and create a well-ventilated loft space that can be used practically, then it is likely a good fit.  

An attic conversion of any type can be extraordinarily beneficial to homeowners looking to upgrade their properties and establish more space within their homes without expanding the borders of their property.
