What is a Velux Loft Conversion?

When thinking about a loft conversion, you may wonder if a Velux is right for your loft. If you're planning a loft conversion, you need to know what planning permission is required and whether you can install a Velux. In addition, you'll want to make sure that you meet building regulations to ensure that your conversion is legal.

VELUX

A VELUX loft conversion is an excellent way to gain extra space in your home. It allows for natural light and ventilation to fill the room while also retaining privacy. It works well for bedrooms, bathrooms and offices. Its open design allows you to have natural light all year round while maintaining privacy in the summer. You can even install blackout blinds or a Cabrio system to make the loft look more like a balcony.

Planning permission

If you want to create a Velux loft conversion in Witley, there are a couple of different ways to get it done. One of the most common methods is to use permitted development rights. This type of planning permission is less strict and will allow you to do what you want without seeking formal approval from the local planning authority. However, you must be mindful of certain restrictions and limitations that come with permitted development rights.

Benefits

Velux loft conversions are an excellent way to add extra living space to your home. In addition to adding more floor space, they can increase the value of your home. The VELUX style roof windows allow for plenty of natural light to penetrate into your home. Depending on your needs, you can choose to install back-out blinds to restrict the amount of light coming in. Another benefit of a Velux loft conversion is its increased storage capacity. With the extra space created in the loft, you can add built-in cupboards or under-eave storage space. You might also want to take advantage of the Marie Kondo philosophy and incorporate some re-purposing into your loft conversion.

Costs

Generally, there are several factors that determine the costs of a Velux loft conversion in Witley. Firstly, it is important to consider where you live. If you live in a metropolitan area, the cost of materials and supplies will be higher. This is due to higher wages and rent costs, bigger transport vehicles, and a greater distance to production facilities. 

Do I need to follow building regulations during a Velux loft conversion?

Before any construction happens on your property in Witley, you must be able to have building regulations approval first. Having this document in hand will mean the following: that the construction plan is following standard safety procedures; the plan has a detailed fire safety plan in case a fire breaks out in the house; and the materials that will be used are of quality and durable. If you skip the process of acquiring a building regulations certificate and proceeded with a loft conversion, you may experience your property getting devalued in the future.

How is a Velux loft conversion different from the other types of loft conversion?

A Velux loft conversion is different in terms of the construction required, the cost, and the timeframe. Getting a Velux loft conversion will only mean the installation of roof light windows and insulators in the loft which will ask for a minimal cost that is usually around £25,000 to £40,000. Since the construction is simple and straightforward, a Velux loft conversion can be completed in 4 weeks or less. Other types of loft conversion will usually take 6 to 10 weeks to be accomplished because of the development that will happen in the architectural design of the area that will be converted.

Do I need to move out of my house during a Velux loft conversion?

You won’t be asked to move out of your property while the Velux loft conversion is being built in your home. The reason behind this is that construction mainly happens at the top of your property, and if you hire the builders we have at Loft Conversion London, we can easily create a different pathway that will not inconvenience you and your family. Staying in your home while your loft is being converted is also a wise decision since you can quickly check the progress of the project and inspect if there are points in the plan that are not being followed accordingly.
