Types of Loft Conversion in Egham

 

Rooflight conversion

A Rooflight conversion is a type of conversion that enlightens the inside of your loft. Its installation requires 2.3m of headroom to be functional, and it should be taller if possible. This is due to the requirement to place the installation at a suitable height for easy walking around. The room should also be large enough to accommodate a bath and shower.

Mansard conversion

Before planning a mansard loft conversion, you should ensure that you have the necessary planning permission from your local authority. The cost of a mansard loft conversion depends on several factors, including the size of the property and the style of the conversion. It also depends on the addition of a bathroom or other features, which increases the overall cost. You must be sure to get at least three quotes before beginning the conversion process.

Roof Light/ Velux conversion

When it comes to loft conversions, you can choose from a number of different design options. From a functional standpoint, a top-hung window will give you more headspace and a better view than a center-pivot window. However, there are certain considerations that you should make before making the final decision.

Hip-to-gable conversion

Hip-to-gable loft conversions are a great way to add extra space and create extra bedrooms and bathrooms to your home. This style of conversion is especially suitable for homes with a hipped roof or side roof. This type of loft conversion will require more work, but will also add valuable floor space and headroom. The added space can also boost the value of your home.

Mansard conversion 

If you're planning a loft conversion in Egham, you may want to consider the benefits of a mansard conversion. These loft conversions are often built to the rear of a property, and usually include a small dormer. A mansard conversion often involves structural alterations, including raising the gable wall and party wall. A timber frame can then be built on the raised walls. 

Loft Conversion Building Regulations

Before construction in your property in Egham commences, you are tasked to acquire a building regulation certificate first. This is a crucial step if you decide to proceed to have a loft conversion in your house because having this type of document in hand will mean that the building plan is complying with several construction matters like the sufficiency of the structural strength of the new floor, the stability of the structure, fire safety, and more. You can obtain a building regulations approval from the local authority in your area or a private building inspection company. By also having a building regulations permit, rest assured that your property will not get devalued once the loft conversion is done.

Party Wall Agreement for a Loft Conversion

You are required to secure a party wall agreement during a loft conversion if your property is a semi-detached or terraced house. This document is important specifically because of the adjoining walls that you share with your neighbor. According to the Party Wall Act of 1996, if your property shares a wall with a neighbor you need to acquire a party wall agreement first before the construction begins to avoid disputes. By obtaining a party wall agreement, it will only mean that you have received permission from the affected party regarding the construction that will happen in the shared structure and they approve of it.

Construction of a Loft Conversion

There is no exact duration for when a loft conversion can be completed on your property in Egham. The timeframe given will usually depend on how easy your chosen type of loft conversion is to build. If you want a simple room transformation, then you’re looking to have an internal loft conversion, which only takes 4 weeks or less to be done. Now, if you want a massive addition to your house, then you can enjoy a huge room that’s similar to a storey with a mansard loft conversion. Do take note that construction of this kind will usually take 8 to

10 weeks, in rare cases even longer. You’re given the chance to move out or not during the loft conversion, but if you’re going to work with our expert team, expect that you can enjoy minimal disruption from your daily routine while the construction is ongoing.
