CLR Lofts

A CLR carpenter will visit property to guide you through your ideas and designs, answer your questions and provide you with their professional advice. You will then receive a pack containing a written quote, a rough design idea, a payment plan to give you an idea of how the payments are divided and a detailed schedule of works. Once the work has been given the go ahead, we will arrange for our architect to visit the property for a full measured survey. A detailed drawing with structural calculations is produced to meet your needs and put your ideas to paper. Once you’re 100% happy, the plans get confirmed and submitted to the local authority for approval. Plans have been approved and a contract is drawn up for you to sign. A loft conversion can take between 6-12 weeks depending on the size and type. The scaffolding is erected in advance. On the start date of the project our friendly workmen will arrive at 8am and the same staff will work on your home until completion. The work always starts with the structure of building; your new loft is boarded and structural steels manufactured and installed as a starting point. Next it’s the timber works, joisting and structural carcassing, first fix, plumbing and electrics. Now It’s time to fit the staircase which means you can now come up and see your new space. Plaster boarding and plastering the walls and ceilings are completed and things like shelves and storage spaces can be added to make the most of your loft. Second fix; things like skirtings, architraves, handrails, bathroom suite, sockets, lights etc. At this point we can comb out those finer details to make sure you are completely happy. We will walk you around the loft to ensure you’re 100% happy. At this point you can confirm that the job is finished or you can request any final tweaks.
The team will tidy up the finished loft and any other areas that they have been using, any excess materials will be cleared and the scaffolding will be taken down. As soon as we receive everything, we send you the final Building Certificate, Electrical Part P and any guarantees for windows etc. To ensure that regulations are being followed correctly, Building Control will make a total of 3 visits whilst the work is being undertaken. Now the job has been completed and you’ve got yourself a smart new addition to your home. The only way is up!
