LOFT CONVERSION
The popularity of loft conversions in London is – pardon the pun – going through the roof! The additional room, literally transforms your home and probability more crucially, adds significant value to the London property. Whilst it is usually a little easier to do a standard extension on a house, a loft conversion will almost certainly put more value on the house.We will provide a fast and professional team, starting with the architects, pushing through planning and giving you the finish you want.
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
We are in London will provide you with a team of qualified tradesmen for your Loft Conversion. A Loft or Attic Conversion requires every type of skill, starting from the architect and structural engineer to the placing of new structural beams, fitting electrical and plumbing lines and decorating.
DORMER LOFT
This option is where the existing loft space is of insufficient size for the proposed conversion, it creates additional headroom for the staircase and new room or rooms contemplated. If an additional bathroom is proposed along with the rooms the increased height created by the Dormer provides additional height above the fittings.
ROOFLIGHT LOFT
This option is generally adequate for those contemplating the smaller loft conversion, generally for a single bedroom; study etc, where adequate height is available within the existing loft space. Rooflights can then be installed with a minimum of disruption. London loft conversions should always include some form of natural light from above.
MANSARD LOFT
This type of conversion is generally designed within the inner London areas, where clients are following the Mansard trend of similar conversions within their locality. This type of conversion was the preferred design a number of years ago, and would most likely be the preferred option from a planning perspective in sensitive areas.
A new law, active from October 1st 2008 has removed many of the restrictions in planning extensions and loft conversions. The new law allows many homes to now get the loft conversions previously forbiden. See our planning restrictions removed page for more information.
