London Roof Conversion

A London roof, sometimes called a butterfly, roof is an inverted pitched roof with the roof slopping up and outwards from the center of the house. These types of roofs are common in London, hence the name, and though they remain popular in design they are typical of mid-Victorian homes. The design of the existing roof often produces very little internal loft space; so in order to make the most of the property we normally install a completely new floor and add what are effectively a double mansards, front and rear. To do this we will remove the existing roof, construct a new floor above your existing one and build up the walls on either side with sympathetic brickwork. This conversion provides an entire new floor to your property with the same or similar size as your existing ones; the finished look is similar to that of a townhouse. This sort of conversion produces so much additional space that it gives homeowners one of the largest options for use of the conversion, from multiple bedrooms, studios, and rental flats or simply more living space. Though the scale of works is larger the amount of space increase for a London home continues to be a popular residential investment.
