TYPES OF LOFT CONVERSION in North London
Once you have decided that a loft conversion is the right choice for your North London home, you will need to figure out which type of loft conversion is suitable for your property.

The three types of loft conversions are:
- Internal Loft Conversions
- Dormer Loft Conversions

INTERNAL LOFT CONVERSIONS
Internal loft conversions are the simplest and cheapest choice as they require very little work to be carried out. The existing loft space requires minimal alterations and some small additions from roof windows, insulation, and stronger flooring.
