There are a few questions you need to consider before embarking on converting the loft.   Loft or Roof Conversion Most conversions fall into one of two types, the typical loft conversion to a bungalow or house which can be converted by adding dormers/roof windows. Or a roof conversion whereby if the existing roof is found to be too low it can (subject to permission) be removed and rebuilt with a higher pitch, giving more overall space.   Dormers or Roof Windows Dormers protrude from the roof and give more internal headroom: they can be designed to suit your property and taste. Dormers can vary from the smaller pitched roof type, adding character to your home through to the larger flat/sloping roof variety, which will give more general space. Any dormer and gable conversions will normally have UPVC windows installed.Where the roof shape is not altered only genuine Velux roof windows would be installed - All their products carry a comprehensive ten year guarantee.   Stairs Usually these are traditional and purpose made to suit individual lofts and tastes, and in third storey conversions we normally match the existing staircase. We can also fit spiral and space-saver stairs.   Plumbing, Heating and Electrical This is usually undertaken by our own tradespeople. All gas work is Corgi registered, all electrical work is Part P compliant.   Construction Programme A start date will be confirmed in writing well in advance of commencement.
