Types of Conversion

Loft Conversion Options

Every home is different. We'll assess your loft and recommend the best conversion type for your property, budget and planning situation.

Dormer Loft Conversions

The most popular loft conversion in Devon. A dormer extends vertically from the slope of your roof, creating a box-shaped structure that dramatically increases headroom and usable floor space. Perfect for adding a master bedroom with en-suite.

Hip-to-Gable Conversions

Ideal for semi-detached and detached homes with a hipped roof. We convert the sloping hip end into a vertical gable wall, significantly expanding the loft area. Often combined with a rear dormer for maximum space.

Velux / Roof Light Conversions

The most cost-effective option where the existing roof structure is retained and Velux windows are fitted. Best suited to properties with a suitable roof pitch and enough headroom. Minimal disruption and often no planning permission required.

The Smartest Use of Unused Space

A loft conversion is one of the best investments you can make in a Devon property. You're using space that already exists — often just wasted storage — and turning it into a beautiful living area without losing garden space.

  • Add up to 20% to your property value
  • Most lofts qualify under Permitted Development
  • No need to move — gain space in your existing home
  • Typical completion time: 6–10 weeks
  • Full structural and building regs compliance
  • Family-run builders you can trust

Do You Need Planning Permission?

Most loft conversions in Devon are covered by Permitted Development rights, meaning no planning application is needed. This includes most dormer and Velux conversions, provided they meet certain criteria.

However, properties in conservation areas, listed buildings, or those that have already used their Permitted Development allowance may require full planning permission. RC-Builders Ltd will assess your property and handle all planning and building regulations applications on your behalf.
