Why Loft Conversion in Redhill?

If you're looking for extra space in your home in Redhill, you've probably considered a loft conversion. Whether you're after a new bedroom or bathroom, or just a space to play with your kids, there are a number of reasons to consider having this work done.

Adding extra space to your Redhill home

A loft conversion can add a great deal of value to your Redhill home. Whether you are looking to create an additional bedroom, bathroom or kitchen, a loft conversion can transform that space into a functional room. These projects are also often less expensive than an extension. Choosing the right option for your home's space is crucial to getting the best value from the project.

Adding a bathroom

Adding a bathroom to a loft-conversion can be a great way to bring more light into the room. Most bathrooms have small, if any, windows, and it can feel very dark in there. By opening up the space in the loft, you can bring more light into the room and give yourself the privacy you need. Plus, adding a bathroom to your loft conversion will increase its value!

Adding a bedroom

If you're planning to add a bedroom to your loft conversion, you're in luck. Redhill property experts say that adding a bedroom can increase the value of a house by up to 25%. Fortunately, most Redhill loft conversions don't require planning permission. You can often convert the loft without planning permission, unless the loft is a listed building or is in a designated area. It is also possible to add an ensuite bathroom, which can further add value to your home.

Adding a playroom

If you're considering a loft conversion, adding a playroom is an excellent way to make the most of the space. Playrooms are great for children because they can safely play in a room without the worry of injury. A playroom can be designed with comfortable stools for crafting activities, a swing chair for reading time, and even a day bed for afternoon naps.

Factors to consider before a loft conversion in Redhill

After carefully deciding that you want to have your loft converted, you must make yourself aware of the following factors that will affect the loft conversion in your property in Redhill.

Required roof height

To be able to have a comfortable loft where you can freely walk in and out without lowering your head, you must make sure that the available roof height in your loft is at least 2.2 meters. You can measure your room’s height by simply holding a tape measure from the top of the joists below up to the highest point, which is directly under the roof ridge.

Roof structure

An ideal roof structure for a loft conversion is a rafter. With this type of roof framing, a loft conversion can be done seamlessly. This type of roof is commonly built on properties from the pre-1960s. Now, if your property is modernly designed and features a trussed roof, you don’t need to worry since a loft conversion is still possible in your situation but expect that the construction will be more complicated.

Budget

Though a loft conversion is considered an affordable alternative compared to moving to a bigger house, the cost it comes with must not be anticipated as cheap. To be able to have a loft conversion done on your property, the lowest amount you must allot is at least £25,000. And expect that you will spend more depending on the materials you want to be used on your loft and the type of loft conversion you’ll prefer.

Fixed structures

Chimneys and other ventilation pipes will cause a problem if they are placed in obstruction within the space that you want to convert. It is best to consider their locations if you have them in your house before finally deciding to have a loft conversion.

Basic process of a loft conversion in Redhill

As you checked off of the list of all the factors you need to consider prior to starting a loft conversion in your house in Redhill, the next thing you must do is find a reliable loft conversion specialist that can handle the project beautifully for you. Fortunately, our team at Loft Conversion London fits the criteria you need.

You can consult with us about your idea for your loft and our team will walk you through the process that will result in the perfect loft for your home. We’ll assist you in creating the construction plan and developing a design for your loft. You can provide your suggestions or requests and we will carefully incorporate them into the plan.

Once the design is finalized, we will then begin with the construction which starts with the installation of beams and columns that will act as supports for the new ceiling. Electrical wiring will be assessed by our experts to make sure that the loft is safe and functional. Then we’ll proceed in installing insulation on both the roof and the ceiling, place the new dormer windows, and plasterboard the walls. Finally completing the construction, decoration and finishing touches will be done.
