What do you get with a dormer loft conversion?
A dormer loft conversion builds a box-shaped extension out from the rear slope of the roof, creating vertical walls and full head height across most of the new floor. It is the most popular type of loft conversion because it gives the most usable space for the cost.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Steelwork and new floor structure
- Staircase, insulation and plasterboard

Planning and building rules in Rhyl
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
Wales has its own loft and roof permitted development rules.
What can affect a dormer loft conversion?
- Dormer cheeks close to a shared wall can trigger the Party Wall Act.
- A flat dormer roof needs proper falls and a quality membrane.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
