Loft conversions and attic rooms
The popularity of loft conversions in property's are - pardon the pun - going through the roof! The additional room, literally transforms your home and probability more crucially, adds significant value to the property. Whilst it is usually a little easier to do a standard extension on a house, a loft conversion will almost certainly put more value on the property
Ricons will provide a fast and professional team, starting with the architects, pushing through planning and giving you the finish you want. Loft conversions are the latest thing in the property world and are fast becoming a common theme in contemporary properties, so what creative loft ideas can help your property stand out?
With loft conversions being the new 'black' in the property market, imagination and innovation are key for developing creative loft conversion ideas in such a competitive housing market.Over the last decade, property investment has reached a new level of popularity around the world, and respectively we have seen a soaring number of property-based television programmes feeding the public with loft conversion ideas galore. Despite the recession, the popularity of property programmes means that ratings are still impressive.
Types of loft conversions we build
![]() |
Dormer LoftThis option is where the existing loft space is of insufficient size for the proposed conversion, it creates additional headroom for the staircase and new room or rooms contemplated. If an additional bathroom is proposed along with the rooms the increased height created by the Dormer provides additional height above the fittings. This one is found most popular, as well as feasable. |
![]() |
Rooflight/Velux™ LoftThis option is generally adequate for those contemplating the smaller loft conversion, generally for a single bedroom; study etc, where adequate height is available within the existing loft space. Rooflights can then be installed with a minimum of disruption. Loft conversions should always include some form of natural light from above. |

Mansard LoftThis type of conversion is generally designed in city areas, where clients are following the Mansard trend of similar conversions within their locality. This type of conversion was the preferred design a number of years ago, and would most likely be the preferred option from a planning perspective in sensitive areas. |
