How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
The proportions of the space and structure will impact on budget and then fire safety
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
Initial desktop investigation, initial meeting and survey. Sketch scheme and any tweaks, structural engineer appraisal if required, then planning if required.
Then Working drawings and Building regulations, once approved this set of drawings can be priced by a builder or builders and a contract formed.
Work commences and I can supervise or be available to take technical queries as the project goes on.
Building regulations inspections throughout process and final sign off.
What’s your interior design process?
As above with more interior sketches and 3D images also schedules of furniture and sourcing if appropriate.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
I like all kinds of styles and fusions of styles whether historic or art movement. I collect design images from my travels and the internet and collate them onto my pinterest page and use this as a starter to inspire the clients.
What do you love most about your job?
Initial design, the construction phase - seeing how it all goes together, then the client moving in and loving their new space.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It's nice to be able to help people realise their ideas and because I have been doing this a long time I've pretty much seen it all with domestic projects. This gives good value to my clients that makes me very hire-able.
Why should our clients choose you?
Design, value and experience. I'm a one man band with good contact for consultants like structural engineers or tradesmen. I have Contractors who I have used over the years who I can get to price or advise on issues.
