Your ultimate guide to taking the leap with a Loft Conversion

We provide a full service from plans to completion and our experienced team will guild you through the whole process if required, or if you already have professional drawings or any building knowledge/experience we would be happy to assist. Kind Regards Loft Guru Ltd
There are many factors involed to see whether your loft is suitable for a conversion or not. The good thing is, most are!
One of the primary factors is height. The ridge line is usually the highest point in most lofts, if the height from the top of the ceiling to the underside of the ridge is 2300mm (230cm) or higher, this would usually mean the height is sufficient.
If your lower than 2300mm then if height is sufficient on the first floor, the ceilings can be lowered to obtain the height within the loft.
Are you in a conservation area? This can sometimes be a restiction on the size of the dormer allowed of any. If you are unsure, here at Loft Guru we can undertake a survey and let you know.
95% of loft conversions do not need planning permission but building regulations are always required, along with working drawings and structural calculation which are subbmitted to the local authority.
The first stage would be to make an appointment, this would enable us to carry out a full survey, discuss options, your requirements and budget.
Once costs are agreed and a deposit has been made, our architect will visit, measure and produce drawings for your approval. Once approved these are then submitted to both the local authority and oir structural engineer.
On an agreed start date the scaffolding will be erected and work will commence. The installation of the steel beams is usually the first structural element undertaken as its these steels beams that will bare the weight of your new loft conversion. The structural floor is then installed followed by the dormer.
The roofing works are then undertaken to ensure the elements are kept outside the building, while the qualified electrical engineer and plumbing first fix are installed.
The new space can now be insulated to meet current building regulations, plasterboarded, plastered and the bespoke made staircase installed.
The second fix electrical, plumbing and carpentry works can then be completed, all finished to a high standard ready for any decoration.
The process generally takes 6-8 weeks.
What do I love about my job.? As well as actully being proud of what I do and running my own business, it has to be the job satisfaction, I love it when my clients come home from work to see the progress we have made and just how happy people are when the job is complete.

I also take pride in knowing the job has been done correctly and to a high standard, but above all is saftey, especially if children live in the property.

Is it cheaper to do a Loft Conversion or an extension?
Converting your loft into liveable space is typically much more cost effective than building an extension, with prices starting from just £15,000 for a basic loft conversion. However, this depends on how complex the design is. A loft conversion can be as simple as a room in the roof, or it can involve adding dormer windows or even altering the roof. The more sophisticated the design is, the higher the cost will be.
How much value does a Loft Conversion add to a house?
According to research carried out by Nationwide Building Society, converting your loft can increase the value of your home by up to 20%. With the average price of a house in the UK currently standing at £235,000, a loft conversion could increase your home’s value by up to £47,000. Of course, this depends on the design of your loft conversion and the amount of extra space that you’re adding to your property.
How long does a Loft Conversion take?
Most loft conversions will take around 10 weeks to complete. However, this is dependent on the design of your loft conversion. How long it takes to convert your loft will depend on the type of loft conversion being done, the materials used, whether plumbing is required, the type of staircase being installed and how many windows are being added.
