Loft Conversion

The majority of houses have a large loft or attic space, this space is often under utilised and in some instances can offer an ideal opportunity for expanding your home.

Suitability
Not all lofts are suitable for conversion and as a first step it is wise to go into your loft and carry out a brief survey before you get too far into the planning of your project. When carrying out your survey check-

  1. That there is enough height within your loft to stand comfortably,
    bear in mind that your new floor is likely to be around 200mm higher
    than your existing ceiling joists so 2.25m from the base of ridge plate to the top of ceiling joist should be adequate
  2. That the loft space is large enough to provide a useable room.
  3. That there aren’t any chimneys or services passing through the centre of loft
    space that you can’t move.

If the answer to all of these questions is ‘Yes’ then your loft may well be suitable for conversion.

 

How to proceed
Loft Conversions are complex projects and unless you are experienced in construction you will need to get some Professional Advice. If you appoint our services we will prepare:

  1. Drawings and designs for your proposal,
  2. Structural steel timber calculations
  3. specification to conform to the latest building regulations
  4. apply for the necessary Approvals and if required we will also help you to find a suitable builder.

here we have a one stop planning design and submission service that will take care of the whole pre-build process of your loft conversion. if you need more info please contact us we will be happy to help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drawings 

your plans will be produced using the latest Autocad technology allowing us to see your proposal in 3d detail we will make sure that your new staircase fits with enough head room our drawing and details are very clear and because we include structural design so there will be no additional steels or joists spoiling your design. 

Structural Calculation included...
For anything other than light storage solutions you will need to install new floor joists. That new room in
the loft is going to have to carry considerable weight load and the building regulations insist that joists and load-bearing walls are strong enough to support that extra weight. Its likely that you will also have to install new steel beams to support those new joists. Another facet to structural stability is the roof itself and whether its structure
needs to be altered to fit in your new loft design. this is why we include structural calculations with our full building regulations packages. to find out more click on
