Why convert your loft in Haslemere?

Living a peaceful life in Haslemere can be made an even lovelier experience with a loft conversion. With this type of home upgrade, you can transform a previously unused area in your property and turn it into a stunning bedroom, cozy library, or cool home theatre. You won’t need to worry about the space you have in your garden or driveway since a loft conversion expands your house upwards.

Can I turn a loft conversion into an investment?

According to the Nationwide Building Society, a loft conversion can increase your property value by up to 25%. With this percentage, the cost that you’ll spend for the home improvement will more likely return in double. That is if the loft you built is meticulously designed that can easily appeal to future buyers once you decide to put your house for sale.

Will I save on electricity with a loft conversion?

Thanks to the dormer windows and insulators that will be installed in your loft, you can see a decrease in your energy bills. Natural lighting will come through easily to the room because of the huge Velux windows that will be placed on your roof. Sleep in comfort even on the coldest nights without worrying about using the heating system in your house as the insulation established in your room’s walls and floors will keep the loft’s warm temperature.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Since a loft conversion is regarded as a permitted development rights, you will not be required to secure planning permission. This is also the very reason why many homeowners opt for this kind of home expansion—because of the convenience of its construction. However, there are certain circumstances that will require you to obtain planning permission first before going ahead with a loft conversion such as your house being located in a conservation area or the construction of the type of loft conversion you want revises the structural design of your roof. It is highly advised to check first with your loft conversion specialist on whether there will be a need for planning permission or not because failure to have this type of document in hand will lead to a fine or imprisonment.

How long does it take for a loft conversion to be finished?

Typically, a loft conversion can be done in 4 weeks or less. The type of loft that can be achieved within this timeframe is an internal loft conversion that only requires the installation of dormer windows and insulators. The most common type of loft conversion, which is a dormer, will take 6 to 8 weeks to be completed. While the longest a loft conversion will take is 10 weeks or more, and that is by a mansard loft conversion. You will not be required to move out while the loft conversion takes place on your property but it is still best if you choose to work with a team that can convert your loft with minimal disruption. Hire the team we have at Loft Conversion London and you’ll be guaranteed a beautifully-designed loft that perfectly suits your needs that didn’t inconvenience you in your daily activities.

Can I Use a Spiral Staircase For a Loft Conversion?

The best way to find out if you can use a spiral staircase in your loft conversion is to talk to an experienced builder. They will be able to discuss your options with you, as well as suggest the best choices. A team of experts, like those at Loft conversion London, will help you find the best staircase for your home, and will match it to your current stairs. This will help you maximize the space in your loft without encroaching on your living space downstairs.

Planning permission

In order to gain planning permission for your loft conversion, you must ensure that you adhere to the loft conversion regulations. The regulations for loft staircases are less strict than for stairs in the ground floor. For example, you should have 1.9 m of headroom at the centre of the staircase, and 1.8 m at the base of the stairs. If your loft is sloping, your headroom will be restricted to 1.8 m, but it must rise to two metres at its highest point. If this is not possible, you can consider installing stair extensions.

Space saving options

There are many space-saving options when installing a spiral staircase in a loft conversion. First, you can position the new staircase on top of your existing stairs, which will save space and also preserve the headroom. Second, you can incorporate storage ideas into the design of your new staircase. For example, if you're adding loft storage units to your conversion, you can integrate them into the design of your new stairs. This will make your loft conversion look as though it's one continuous staircase.

Spiral staircases are the perfect solution for loft conversions because they have a relatively small footprint and can be installed in any position. Furthermore, they can be built with railings to ensure safety. Finally, spiral staircases are easy to customize to match the rest of your home's design. They come in a wide range of styles and materials, so you'll have no trouble finding a staircase that suits your home's style and design. Moreover, spiral staircases can be made to look like an integral part of your home, or they can look mystically up to the rafters of your building.

Safety

Spiral staircases are a practical and attractive design solution that allows you to get into your new loft space in a very short space. However, they are not without risks. It is necessary to check whether your staircase meets the building regulations for safety before installing it. This way, you'll know that you're not going to cause yourself or other people a risk by installing an unsuitable staircase. You also need to make sure that it meets fire safety regulations.
