Will My Conversion Require Planning Permission? 

Not necessarily. Some extension work can be done as ‘permitted development, especially loft conversions and many small extensions. Nevertheless, all building work will require the local council or authority’s approval to be classified as a ‘habitable space’ and you should apply for a Lawful Development Certificate to ensure that your extension does qualify as permitted development.

Can We Convert Our Loft? 

A lot of our customers thoughts that they needed a large loft in order to convert it into useable space. This is often not the case with nearly 90% of your everyday lofts being able to be converted into functional living space and add value to your property.

How Long Does A Conversion Take?

Typically, a terraced house with a full length to the rear of the property will take 4-5 weeks to complete, but as with everything it all depends on the specification, size and design of the conversion. These timings are an accurate guideline, from our years of experience in doing quality, luxury loft conversions. 

What Is The Cost Of A Loft Conversion? 

There is no standard answer for this as each loft is very different in terms of size, shape, specifications and what the client wants. What we can do is offer a completely free, no obligation quote. Contact us now to arrange yours.

How Much Disruption Does It Cause To My Home? 

Not one bit, we do everything from the outside. There will be a scaffold erected at either the front of the rear of the property, where we will gain access via a hole made in the roof at the beginning. This is used until we either have a dormer window build or Velux roof Windows fitted in the roof line. We then make the hole good and use this window as point of entry. Once the loft conversion is plaster boarded and ready to be plastered throughout, we then use a method proven to reduce mess, to take out the main knock through to the house, we call this the ‘stairwell’.

We use a plastic sheet fixed to the underside of the ‘stairwell’ and cut the ceiling out from the loft and completely clean it out from above, meaning when we take the plastic sheet back down there isn’t one bit of dust or mess to your home. From there the stairs are fitted and during the last week we would be using the new stairs for access, to finish off.
