This option provides you much bigger space as you can convert most of the loft storage space into living space with some side eaves as storage space.You can have extra bedroom or a Master bedroom with an Ensuite or perhaps an office or guest bedroom.While the majority of lofts can be converted, unfortunately some will not be suitable for a loft conversion. It will depend on how your house has been constructed and the available headroom. If unsure, we are happy to visit and advise you accordingly.
The stair position, at both first floor and in the loft, is the most critical part of the loft conversion design. We will position the stair to minimise disruption and loss of space at the existing first floor level but maximize the new space in the loft area.
If the development is a permitted development within allowed limit, you will not require a planning permission, drawings are only required for building regulation (construction) purposes. If your house is within Conservation areas, extended roof dormers will need Planning Permission.Some newer properties will also have their Permitted Development (PD) rights removed, meaning that all work including the installation of even simple roof lights, will need Planning Permission.
Converting the loft usually takes between four to six weeks,a new roof can also be added within this time period. In most of the cases, you don’t have to move out from your house. The bulk of work is done through the roof. We try to cause as little disruption to your home as possible, although fixing of staircasemay cause some disruption to first floor area.
We do not do any of the actual 'build' work we do not provide guarantees on it but the contractor you select will advise you on their own guarantee.
