The LOFT CONVERSION PROCESS in Gunnersbury

The first step of the loft conversion process in Gunnersbury is to assess the structure of the roof. The structural engineer will determine if the joists are strong enough to support the new floor and will specify the type, size, and grade of joists. The new rafters will be placed alongside existing rafters and span the distance between the load-bearing walls. These will be elevated slightly above the ceiling plaster. The new rafters will be made of thicker timbers, which will bridge the gap. If the existing joists are weak, you may have to install Rolled Steel & Metal joists to help distribute the load.

Once the loft conversion process is complete in Gunnersbury, the building control officer will inspect the project to ensure compliance with fire regulations. The conversion process typically takes six to eight weeks and requires a professional architect to complete. A professional architect will design the entire loft conversion, from the rafters to the lighting to the bathroom. If you choose a specialist loft company, the architectural team will work with you to determine the best course of action.

After the surveyor has inspected the property in Gunnersbury, the surveyor will prepare a quote and contract. The surveyor will also hand over your plans to architects. The architects will put your dreams onto paper. They will also advise on planning permission, as necessary. And once the plan is approved, the structural engineer will see it through the building regulations. They will ensure your loft conversion is safe and meets all the building codes.
