Are you thinking about a loft conversion as a way to open space in your house and steer clear of the need to relocate? Then use our free and simple service to compare quotes and get the best price for the work you need carried out.
Loft conversions are proving to become more popular then ever in the UK. In most households the attic accounts for unused space which may go to better use. Converting can change the area into a bedroom, bathroom, playroom or even ensuite bedroom.
The fact is there's plenty of potential to transforming your loft, including the extra value for your house which can be up to 20%. Attic conversions are also suggested over a home extension as the infrastructure is already in place. Plus, you won't be removing any garden space.
If the attic conversion would benefit your home and you're seeking more space, compare quotations from trustworthy companies within Glasgow and get the best deal for the work you'd like completed.
The regular cost of a Loft conversion is £25000. Costs differ based upon the materials and the firm selected. The upper price range can be as high as £28750. The material costs are mainly approximately £6250

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.
If you’re about to carry out a loft conversion project, you’d probably be wondering how long it’ll take to complete the task. Well, you’re not alone! This is one of the most common questions when it comes to loft conversion projects, however, providing a set timeframe for completion of such projects is impossible as all loft conversions vary. There are different factors that can determine the duration of your project. These factors include, the materials to be used, the type of the proposed loft conversion, the kind of staircase you’ll like to have installed, the number of windows included, the number of rooms to be added as well as a number of other influencing factors. As a result of these variables, the milestones and timings provided are only to be taken as guidelines. If you’d really like to have a set date, you can get in touch with a professional for help.
Generally, it’ll take up to 8 weeks to complete a loft conversion project.
✓ The first week activities will include putting up scaffolding, receiving the first materials for the build and creating an opening in the roof to gain access to the loft space.
✓ In the second week, the structure of the roof will be ammended and more support added.
✓ Third week, the floor joists will be fitted, building of the loft conversion will start, completion of the external roof works and commencement of plumbing and electric works.
✓ Fourth week, complete the building, construct the loft floor, fit the roof windows, insulation, ventilation and internal stud walls.
✓ Fifth week, apply plaster and plasterboard to the room walls, create a staircase opening and fit the new staircase.
✓ Sixth week, plaster the staircase area, complete plumbing and electrical works, hang the doors, fit skirting, handrails and bannisters and start decoration.
✓ Seventh week, complete the decoration and clean and wipe out all wastes.
✓ Eight week, complete all the remaining tasks.
It depends on the style and size of the conversion, but in general, a loft conversion will take between 1-2 months. A loft conversion is a substantial building project, and plans will need to be drawn up. This may add to the time it takes to complete your loft conversion.
A dormer loft conversion is a type of loft conversion that’s built making use of a roof’s existing slope. In other words, it’s an existing roof’s extension which is constructed in such a way that allows for an additional floor as well as head room especially suitable for lofts lacking good amount of usable space. The dormer loft conversion is simply an addition to the existing roof looking much like a box-like build constructed onto a pitched roof as it creates walls that are vertical to the slope while also being 90 degrees to the floor.
This type of loft conversion is the most common amongst homeowners in the UK mainly because it represents a cost effective means through which you can add an additional usable space to your home or property. The structure extends for the slope of the existing roof and can easily be altered to suit various tastes or styles. Furthermore, if you’re looking for a type of loft conversion that aids to foster reduced disruption to work, then dormer loft conversion is also your best bet. This is due to the fact that the structure is built from a scaffolding made outside a home.
There are different types of dormer loft conversion and the one which will best suit your property will depend on the property type, be it detached, semi detached or terraced as well as the existing roof shape and size. The dormer loft conversion is a popular choice for a lot of homeowners for a variety of reasons. Let’s have a look!
✓ It’s very cost effective
✓ The dormer loft conversion does not require planning permission so far it complies with certain conditions and limitations
✓ It adds an extra headspace as well as floor space.
