Here at Warmer’s Lofts we offer loft conversions in West Midlands and the surrounding areas. A loft conversion can take many different forms – not all homes are the same, therefore different styles and techniques are required depending on the loft conversion in question. Our specialist loft converters in West Midlands have a wealth of experience when it comes to the different loft conversions that may be required. On this page we’re going to give you a short break down of the different types of conversions that we offer as a loft conversion specialist.
Dormer loft conversions
A dormer loft conversion is usually carried out on a building where the loft is too small for people to stand up in. Due to the apex of the roof on most houses, you can only walk down the middle of the loft where it’s at its tallest – meaning there’s an awful lot of wasted space in your loft conversion. With a dormer loft conversion more room is created as walls are extended up from the roof – allowing extra walking space.
Dormer loft conversions are popular with many home owners – they’re extremely practical for things like en-suite bathrooms, bedrooms and so on.
Velux loft conversions
If there’s already ample space within your attic or loft for you to stand up, you may well find that a Velux loft conversion is the best option. A Velux loft conversion is basically where windows are installed into the roof of the loft – allowing natural light into the new space. Velux loft conversions are typically much less complicated than dormer loft conversions – they also cost considerably less, too.
Some customers opt for a Velux window on one side of their loft conversion – whilst opting for a dormer conversion on the other side of the loft.
Hip to gable conversions
If your house is currently “hip-ended” – where the beam along the very top of your roof is shorter than the total length of the outside walls, a hip to gable loft conversion is an option that you may want to consider. With a hip to gable loft conversion you’re able to open up a lot more floor space – and ceiling space within your loft. The extra space could amount to you being able to install an en-suite bathroom – or even dividing the loft conversion into two separate rooms.
Here at Warmer’s Lofts we have a track record of providing excellent loft conversions in West Midlands and the surrounding areas. You’ll find a lot of loft converters West Midlands will take a “one size fits all” approach to loft conversions – but we like to do things different. We appreciate that no two attic conversion jobs are ever the same – we offer a bespoke quote for each and every job that we’re asked to complete. Our quotes based on finding the balance between affordability and extra room.

At Warmer’s Lofts, we offer a range of loft conversion services across Birmingham and the West Midlands, including Dormer Loft Conversions, Velux (Roof Light) Loft Conversions, Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversions, and bespoke loft conversion solutions. We assess your property’s layout and recommend the most suitable option based on your available space, budget, and future needs.
The right loft conversion depends on your roof structure, available head height, property type, and intended use of the new space. Dormer conversions provide additional floor area, Velux conversions are ideal for lofts with sufficient height, and Hip-to-Gable conversions work well for many semi-detached and detached homes. Our specialists carry out a full survey before recommending the best solution.
A Dormer loft conversion extends outward from the existing roof to create more headroom and usable floor space, making it ideal for larger bedrooms or en-suite bathrooms. A Velux loft conversion retains the existing roof shape and simply installs roof windows, making it a more cost-effective option when your loft already has adequate height.
Hip-to-Gable loft conversions are generally suitable for semi-detached, detached, and end-of-terrace homes with a hipped roof. By extending the sloping side of the roof into a vertical gable wall, this conversion creates significantly more usable loft space for larger rooms or additional storage.
A professionally designed loft conversion can significantly increase both your home’s living space and market value. Dormer and Hip-to-Gable loft conversions are often chosen because they maximise usable floor area, making them particularly attractive to future buyers.
Velux loft conversions are typically the most affordable because they require fewer structural alterations and retain the existing roof structure. However, the most suitable option depends on your property’s design and the amount of space you want to create. We provide bespoke quotations based on your individual requirements.
Many properties can be converted, but suitability depends on factors such as roof height, roof construction, available floor space, and local planning regulations. Our experienced loft conversion specialists will inspect your property and advise whether a conversion is feasible and which style would deliver the best results.
We begin with a free home survey where we assess your loft structure, discuss how you intend to use the new room, consider your budget, and explain the available conversion options. We then recommend the solution that provides the best combination of space, functionality, and value.
