This conversion type results in the addition of a whole new floor leading to the same floor space as the one below. These are particularly suited to Victorian properties that are typical in London. Also known as Butterfly roofs, these were commonly used in Victorian and Georgian terraced house architecture in London where they are also termed “London” roofs.

In order to create a viable loft space, the two sloping sections of the roof are removed and replaced with a roof featuring a mansard slope front and rear with a flat or slightly pitched roof on top. A front and rear Mansard conversion is a good option in this case and is typically required to satisfy planning officers. Maximum head room can be achieved along with the addition of two extra bedrooms and a bathroom.
