Our step by step process for Loft Conversion in Somerstown
We try to keep the Loft Conversion process as simple as possible from conception to completion, always keeping you informed and involved in every step. Our process includes an initial survey and design followed by architectural drawings and structural calculations. Thereafter, we will quote based on the drawings. Once happy with our quote, our architects apply for planning permission and commence your building work and finally the completion of your new loft conversion. Our team is ready to discuss any aspect of the project in more detail at all times.
Whether your family is growing, renting out a room in your property, or simply want a new study or office, a loft conversion is an ideal solution to maximise space in your house. This is a cost-effective alternative to moving and will increase the value of your property when you decide to sell in the future. No matter the project size, we will build you a loft that reflects your style and meets your lifestyle’s needs.
Whether or not you need to use scaffolding during loft conversion in Somerstown depends on the type of project and the style of your loft. Legitimate building companies are required by law to use this material for safety reasons. Besides, it may be disruptive to your everyday life. In case your property is situated near public roads or neighbouring buildings, you may have to install scaffolding to protect your property.
While pre-war buildings often have the easiest roofs for loft conversion, it is not impossible to convert a modern loft. But, there will always be structural issues. The roof will need additional support from steel beams. Besides that, you must comply with building control requirements and any party wall agreements. Moreover, the loft conversion must pass all necessary inspections. Once completed, you will have more usable space and more space in your home.
It is important to understand that scaffolding costs hundreds of dollars. Therefore, it is a wise idea to hire a professional loft conversion company to build a temporary scaffold around the loft area. Otherwise, you may have to wait two months or more to finish your project. So, it is worth investing a bit more for this luxury. It is well worth the money, especially if you're planning to add more living space to your home.
