Loft Conversions in Potters Bar
A commuter town on the southern edge of Hertfordshire, much of it built out in the 1930s. Much of Potters Bar was built out in the 1930s, so semi-detached and detached houses of that period are common, and many have hipped roofs.
Interwar semis and detached houses often have roofs with room to work with, which keeps more loft options open, from dormers to hip-to-gable. Interwar semis and detached houses frequently have hipped roofs and reasonable ridge heights, which gives a surveyor more design options than a typical modern roof. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
