Piggyback

A Piggyback loft conversion involves elevating the current perimeter walls using brickwork and constructing a new roof, set back from the property’s front elevation.

Benefits of a Piggyback loft conversion

Opting for a piggyback conversion offers notable advantages, notably increased headroom along the roof slope, resulting in expanded usable space without the need for a dormer conversion.

Will I need planning permission?

Before commencing work on a piggyback conversion, obtaining planning permission is necessary since raising the ridge falls outside the scope of a Certificate of Lawfulness.

At Alan Loft Conversions, we handle the application process to secure the necessary approval.
