Are you thinking of a loft space conversion so that you can open up space in the house and steer clear of the necessity to move? Then make use of our no cost and easy service to compare quotes and get the best cost for the work you would like carried out.

Loft conversions are proving to be more and more popular in the UK. In most properties the loft makes up unused space which could be put to better use. Converting can transform the area into a bedroom, bathroom, playroom or even ensuite bedroom.

In fact there's lots of potential to converting your attic, including the extra value for your house which may be as much as 20%. Attic conversions are also encouraged over a property extension as the infrastructure has already been in place. Plus, you won't be removing any garden space.

If the loft conversion would benefit the house and you're seeking more room, compare and contrast quotes from reputable companies within Ferryhill and get the best deal for the work you want completed.

Ferryhill

Ferryhill is a town in south-central County Durham, England. With a permanent population of around 9940, as documented in the 2011 census, it is the 8th largest town in the county. Ferryhill is situated on the western side of the Ferryhill Gap, a natural gateway in the Limestone Escarpment that outcrops on the Eastern Durham Plateau. The primary settlement sits along the southwest-northeast ridge, with later development to the south of the ridge. The town grew extremely rapidly in the 1900s as a result of the successful coal mining industry at the time of the Industrial Revolution. The last mine shut in 1968 after the drop-off of the staple industries in the post-war period. Ferryhill holds a weekly Friday market in the Town Centre marketplace run by the Local Council Ferryhill Town Council. There have been many development programmes in the town, such as the acclaimed Mainsforth Sports complex, Surtees Doorstep Green, and a youth cafe for the town's youths. There are numerous opportunities for residents to take part in social, cultural and community events. This consists of an annual summertime gala, a Christmas market, the parading of miners' banners, a classic car rally, art and photography exhibitions and a lot more. These are all planned collectively by the Town Council and the 2000 Committee. A section of Dean Bank Park has actually been used to enhance and increase the sporting facilities accessible in the town, and the remainder have recently been the subject of assessment by the Town Council, with plans for a play area being made. For all of your home upgrades, make sure to make use of credible professionals in Ferryhill to make certain of quality.

FAQs

an every house have a loft conversion?

If you’re having issues with the amount of space in your home and need an extra space without affecting your garden, loft conversion comes to mind. Not only is it a great solution to creating more living space within a home, but it’s also one of the most budget-friendly solutions you can count on to expand your space by thinking upwards rather than sideways. So if you’re thinking about converting your loft, one thing that almost immediately comes to mind is whether or not your house is suitable for loft conversion.

To answer the question of whether every house can have a loft conversion is a very simple one. Generally, not every house is suitable for loft conversion. This is due to the fact that each and every loft space - from the stairways below and floors to the rafters and the roof up above, is unique. Therefore, the best way to really figure out whether or not a house’s loft offers the potential for conversion is to get in touch with a loft specialist.

So what can make a house not suitable for a loft conversion? Let’s take a closer look!

✓ A house will not be suitable for a loft conversion if the height of the ceiling happens to be too low and it’ll not be possible to have it raised.

✓ If you do not own own the freehold to the loft space, you won’t be able to convert the loft. Surprisingly, this happens to be a common issue in London.

✓ You will not be able to convert your loft if you reside in a conservation area or in a listed building. But you can identify a design solution that’ll still comply with the conservation rules and keep planners happy.

Can my loft be converted?

Many types of loft are suitable for a loft conversion. In general, you will need at least 2.3 metres of headroom in your existing loft. This is to make sure there is enough headroom after the conversion. Speak to a conversion specialist about the probability and possibility of doing this in your house.

do you need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Typically, loft conversions do not require planning permission except in certain situations. They’re usually covered under what’s known as Permitted Development. Certain building works like loft conversion, rear extension and conservatories are granted planning permission by local authorities. Permitted Development, however, gives you a free range to improve your home without having any issues from the councils or regulations. Before your planned loft conversion can be covered under Permitted Development, there are some certain criteria that must be met. This criteria includes the following:

✓ The extension must not go beyond the existing slope of the roof at the front of the house.

✓ The loft space converted must not go beyond 40 cubic metres in a terraced house.

✓ The roof’s height must not be increased by the extension.

✓ The loft space converted must not reach beyond 50 cubic metres in a detached or semi detached house.

✓ The plan for the extension mustn’t involve structures like balconies, verandas or anything other structures of this nature.

✓ The roof extension should be positioned as far back as possible or at least 20cm from the existing eaves.

✓ The side that faces the window openings should be at least 1.7m beyond the floor and the windows should also be obscured.

✓ The roof extension must not overhang the existing roof or wall of the house.

✓ The materials that are to be used must be similar or the same to the materials that has already been used on the house’s exterior.

However, you should bear in mind that there are some properties that are exempt from Permitted Development. Examples of these type of properties include conservation areas, Areas Of Outstanding Natural Beauty and World Heritage sites. Permitted Development does not also provide coverage for listed buildings.

Will I need planning permission to convert my loft?

Planning permission is not normally needed for a loft conversion as they are covered by permitted development rights. A conversion company will tell you if you do and help you with this. For more information, see our article about planning permission.
