Loft Conversions Putney: Best Types for Local Properties

The best loft conversion type for a Putney property depends on the property style and roof structure. The large Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached houses that characterise Putney are ideally suited to hip to gable loft conversions, which replace the sloping hip end of the roof with a vertical gable wall to create significantly more floor space. Victorian terraced houses in Putney suit dormer loft conversions or L-shaped dormer loft conversions where a back addition is present. Properties in the more exclusive parts of Putney and Roehampton often suit mansard loft conversions for maximum space.
