How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
Access is the garage is a functional necessity as it currently is. Then walk the space as if it were constructed in the preferred functionality, be it a home office, a spare room, or a children's playroom. Does it change the functionality of the existing main building space? Is there a trade between the existing functionality of the house and to garage?
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
Road-facing conversions do require planning permission. Firstly carry out a detailed survey and discuss the build budget to comprise a quotation. The builder is to choose the relevant contractors for the work. A complete project file is compiled throughout the works for the client who is guided through the works. Scheduled meetings are held with the client at each predetermined stage of the build. Upon completion, the customer receives the client pack with all the details of materials, contracted service providers, guarantees of material, service methods of utilities, and Builders Guarantee.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
Access and standing height are important factors. Heritage and Existing buildings can install a loft conversion retaining existing materials. A survey is best to consider materials.
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
The structural integrity of the roof in creating the loft conversion is vital. Consider utilizing as much of the existing materials as possible while creating the loft conversion. Fire Proofing, insulation, and breathable materials should also be considered.
