LOFT Conversion Ideas for Farnham

Loft conversions can be a great way to expand your home, but you should run your plans by a professional before proceeding. While floor plans can appear large, they don't take into account sloping ceilings and loss of usable space. Digital models can also be misleading, so it's advisable to get a paper model first to ensure a realistic impression of your space. Also, factor in the cost of modeling into your budget, or else you may find yourself disappointed once the loft conversion is complete.

Getting quotes for a loft conversion

When it comes to a loft conversion in Farnham, you have a lot of options. For example, you could hire an architect to plan the loft conversion. Our architect may be able to guide you on the best options.  You'll also need to apply for planning permission before you start the conversion, as failure to do so could result in a large fine. Our team will take care the designing and getting the planning permission.

Prices for loft conversions tend to correlate with the local property market. The density of the area is also a major factor. Dense cities often have limited space for construction, rubbish skips, scaffolding, and machinery, resulting in higher prices. Delivery costs should also be considered, as they can increase the overall cost of your project.

Insulating a loft during a loft conversion

If you are planning on carrying out a loft conversion, one of the most important things you should do is to insulate the loft. Since this space is the most prone to heat transfer, you should choose insulation that will help keep the loft livable for your family. Building regulations also require good insulation.

For optimum results, you should use high-performance insulation for all areas where you need to insulate the loft, such as partition walls and dormers. You should also consider soundproofing the newly installed floor in the loft. A mineral fibre between the joists can help with this, as will plasterboard insulated with sound-rated insulation. It is also recommended to use heavy sound-proof material on partition walls, such as those between bedrooms and bathrooms.

Adding a home office to a loft conversion

A home office can be a great addition to your loft conversion. Ideally, the room will have plenty of natural light. You should avoid heavy, black materials, and install pale blinds to reduce glare. This is especially important in the summertime and during the shorter winter days.

Building Regulations for a Loft Conversion

A building regulations permit is necessary before any construction happens inside your property in Farnham. Having this type of document in hand will prove that the building plan has complied with every construction standard. If you’ll work with the expert team we have at Loft Conversion London, rest assured that the acquisition of this document will be quick and simple. We will ensure that every little detail is meticulously laid out in the plan so we can obtain approval from the relevant authorities. We will also make sure that fire safety protocols are indicated in the plan. Since this will also be a crucial document to present when you decide to sell your house later in the future, you can stay confident that your property will not get devalued if you choose to hire our team.

Planning Permission for a Loft Conversion

Planning permission for a loft conversion in Farnham is usually not necessary. The reason behind this is that a loft conversion is a permitted development rights because the construction generally happens within your property. However, you are still tasked to verify if you do not truly need planning permission since failure to have this permit once the loft conversion begins may result in a fine or imprisonment. You are required to have planning permission if your property is located in a conservation area or if the loft conversion will be extended higher than the highest part of the existing roof in your house. You will also be asked to obtain planning permission first if the loft conversion creates a massive architectural change in your property, in specific cases choosing a dormer loft conversion or a mansard one. If the case will lead you to need planning permission and you have us as your loft conversion specialist, rest assured that we will provide you with all the assistance you need and acquire this document easily.
