Loft Conversion in Ashtead

If you are considering carrying out a loft conversion, you need to know how much the whole project is going to cost. This article is going to cover some of the most important points to consider before deciding on a price. It will also cover things like planning permission, adding a shower room or bath, and budgeting.

Planning permission is not required for all properties in Ashtead

The first thing to remember is that planning permission is not always required for loft conversions. You do need to get Building Regulations approval and a Party Wall Agreement with your neighbours to make your conversion a legal one. Building regulations require you to have a permanent staircase to reach the loft. Alternatives include a spiral staircase or fixed ladder. Good insulation is also a necessity to maintain a comfortable temperature during winter and cool air during summer. You must also adhere to fire regulations.

To get more information on the planning process and what you need to get to build a loft conversion contact our expert team for advice. It is essential to find out whether your plans have any restrictions and if permitted development rights are affected. If you don't own the whole property, however, you can usually carry out a loft conversion without applying for permission.

Adding a bath or shower room to a loft conversion in Ashtead

The cost of adding a bath or shower room to a three-bed semi-loft conversion will depend on the size of the new room. The roof of the loft will need to be opened up to allow work to take place.

The most common reason for a loft conversion in Ashtead is to add an ensuite bathroom to one or more bedrooms. To keep costs low, it is recommended to build the bathroom above an existing bathroom. The bathroom can then tap into the existing water and drainage system.

The cost of installing a bath or shower room on a three-bed semi-loft conversion is similar to adding an extra room to a two-bed home. It is a fairly straightforward process, although you should consider the benefits of the additional square footage before deciding to proceed with the project.

Is it easy to convert a loft?

A loft conversion cannot be done overnight. If you want this type of home upgrade to happen on your property in Ashtead, you must consult first with a reliable loft conversion specialist. This is because not all lofts can be converted, and if you’ll ask the team we have at Loft Conversion London, we can examine the room you want to convert and give you a conclusion. Our expert builders and tradesmen will provide you with quality service and swift construction that starts from the inspection of your attic’s roof space. For us to build you a comfortable loft, we need to get a roof height of at least 2.2 meters. Then it will be followed by designing the building plan where all your suggestions will be carefully incorporated. After finalizing the plan, construction will finally commence and then will conclude with decoration. Rest assured that if you work with us, you can own a charming space that you can use as an extra bedroom, a cozy library, or a cool home theatre. The process of loft conversion and the construction timeframe will usually take 4 to 10 weeks, depending on the type of loft conversion you’ll prefer so it is best to make yourself aware of the different types available and choose the one that best suits your needs.

Do I need a party wall agreement for a loft conversion in Ashtead?

You will only be required to secure a party wall agreement if your property in Ashtead is a semi-detached or terraced house. This is because of the adjoining walls that you share with your neighbor. The Party Wall Act of 1996 devised this type of document to provide the applicant with additional construction rights to a certain structure. With this permit in hand, you’ll also be able to avoid disputes with your neighbors because, with a party wall agreement, it will only mean that you’ve acquired their permission firsthand before the loft conversion.
