What Are Loft Conversion Drawings?
Loft conversion drawings are technical, to-scale architectural and structural plans that form the foundation of your conversion project. They include:
- Existing and proposed floor plans
- Roof layouts and structural modifications
- Staircase positioning and headroom compliance
- Elevations and cross-sections
- Load-bearing wall and steel beam specifications
- Planning and building regulations detail
These plans are essential for planning permission (if required), building control approval, and pricing by your builder.

Types of Loft Conversions We Plan
We design loft conversion drawings for all major loft layouts and property types
Dormer Loft Conversions
Create extra headroom and floor space with a flat-roofed dormer on the rear or side. Perfect for bedrooms with en-suites.
Velux Rooflight Conversions
Use your existing loft structure with rooflights only — ideal for budget-friendly conversions or permitted development builds.
Mansard Loft Conversions
More common in urban settings — transforms the roof angle to create a full new storey. Usually requires full planning permission.
Hip-to-Gable Conversions
Extend your roofline on a hipped property to create more internal space, often combined with a rear dormer.
L-Shaped Dormers
Great for mid-terrace homes, adding more usable floor area across two roof slopes. Common in Heaton and Jesmond.
