Your ultimate guide to taking the leap with a Loft Conversion

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.

My experience with Exceptional Spaces has been fantastic. Gary really helped and guided me through the initial design plus amending the design multiple times to suit my budget. Gary and Jason were both great to get on with and punctual throughout the quotation process and the build. Gary was always open to me having ideas and changing my mind on the design. I am absolutely delighted with the finished build and highly recommended Exceptional Spaces.

Build and Convert Services (London) Ltd, 24 years ago built our loft conversion and we continue to be very glad that we chose them. The company is run effeciently, professionally and personably by Mr Gary Taylor, who designed and built our loft conversion. We have been extremely happy with the quality of the workmanship and to date the conversion, comprising of two rooms and a bathroom, is still functioning well. Gary and his team of workers were professional, polite and friendly and any hiccups were dealt with quickly and efficiently. The company also extended our kitchen and created a downstairs toilet for us, both of which rooms we continue to be very happy with. We have in the intervening years asked Gary to do other building works for us and they have been done to the same good standard.
