Rear dormer explained
The sloping side roof is built up into a straight gable wall, then a rear dormer goes on the back.
Hip-to-gable rear dormer explained
A dormer that wraps the main roof and the back addition, so the new room runs in an L.
L-shaped dormer explained
Illustrative imageSteel beams take the load of the criss-crossed roof trusses, so the loft opens up into a room.
Modern truss explained
Illustrative imageTurns a bungalow's roof space into upstairs rooms, usually with dormers and a new staircase.

The process
One path, from your first visit to sign-off. Six short steps, no surprises.
30 to 40 minutes at your home. We look at your roof, work out where the stairs go, and talk you through the process. We may have built a loft just like yours many times before, but we treat every loft individually and listen to your needs.
You get a written quote. With so many satisfied customers, we can arrange for you to visit a finished loft, so you can see for yourself that Lordan's is the right company for you.
Once you decide to go ahead, our in-house architect, Simon Burrows, visits to measure up, which takes about an hour. Drawings follow in one to two weeks, and Mark goes through them with you, including whether permitted development applies or you need planning. We then request a small deposit to cover the cost of the architect's drawings.
The office sends your contract and start pack two weeks before the start. Payments are staged through the contract. The first main payment is only due once the scaffold is up and materials are on site.
Mark is on site the first morning to introduce the crew. Every crew is trained by us, not bought-in subcontractors. Our team, our standards, our quality. We project manage every trade. The first half of the build is done from the outside, and your new stairs go in at the end of that stage.
Snaggy Dave carries out a dedicated snagging visit and meets the building inspector, so you don't have to wait in. After the building control final, you get your warranty.
Reviews
“Our crew were Rob and Mark. They were very professional, efficient and tidy. Their work was of a very high standard and we would thoroughly recommend them.”
“Fantastic crew, excellent finish, contact was very good. Finished in 9 weeks, 100% recommended.”
“I can't praise this company enough. Everything was done on time, the team were hard working, tidy, reliable, trustworthy and by the end of the build felt like part of the family. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of having a loft conversion.”
