No matter the project size, we will build you a loft that reflects your style and meets your lifestyle’s needs.
The first step in completing a loft conversion in west hampstead is to obtain Building Regulations approval. While a vague estimate is fine, it is better to have full plans submitted. A Building Control officer will inspect the work during various stages, from securing the necessary permits to granting the loft conversion a completion certificate. Listed below are a few key points to consider during the construction process. Once you have obtained all the necessary permissions, you can begin the loft conversion.
The building regulations are a vital part of any loft conversion in west hampstead. The regulations are mostly about safety, but a growing number of buildings are subject to Part L. This relates to thermal efficiency and is also a major component of modern construction. You will need to obtain Building Regulations approval for electrical work, glazing, and roof coverings. Many electrical installations are self-certified by approved installers. The structural engineer can also provide guidance on any additional plans that you may have.
When it comes to planning and building regulations, three-storey houses are a special case. Having a second stairway and sprinkler system is essential for loft conversions. You will also need to work with a specialist to ensure that the design and construction is compliant with all regulations. If the structure of the building is unstable, you will need to pay a specialist to carry out the conversion. It is important to consult an architect and building surveyor before embarking on the project.
