Loft Conversions in Kemp Town

Professional loft conversions in Kemp-Town

As your family grows, it’s only natural that you would want a bigger space to accommodate everyone. Rather than buy a new home, house extensions are quickly becoming the ideal route to take.

Why get a loft conversion?

Kemp-Town is filled with homeowners who converted their lofts for various reasons. In many cases, people want to expand their homes to ensure that every member of the family is accommodated. A loft conversion is also ideal for a nice little hideaway to enjoy a hobby or a game room if you’re looking to add to your living space. Many people are choosing to do loft conversions so they can have a home office of their own, far from the distractions of working from the lower floors.

You can also make your house a better investment by adding a loft conversion to improve its value. The benefits of loft conversions far outweigh those of other methods of increasing the space in a house.

Not requiring garden space and the short amount of time needed for the completion of a loft conversion make it more desirable than other home extension methods. It’s much cheaper than moving houses and is generally cost-effective. Even more, you wouldn’t have to touch your gorgeous garden and you may not need planning permission either. You can trust us to deliver a loft conversion that’s as perfect as you have envisioned it in your mind, from start to finish. We at Clifton Hill & Montpelier Loft Conversions have been operating in and around Kemp-Town, working with homeowners to design the spaces of their dreams.

We can do the same for you.

Before you know it, the loft conversion process will be complete and you can enjoy your new space. We must warn you that it will be messy as we work, but you’ll have no reason to regret it.

The Building Regulations may apply in different ways as the extent of work differs. If you would like to line the wall, board out the loft or install a stair to it, the regulations will most likely apply because of the extensive nature of the work.

We’ll be sure to obtain any needed approvals to get the work done on your house. How much does a loft conversion cost in Kemp-Town? The cost of a loft conversion varies widely, starting from about £20,000. The cost actually depends on a number of factors, including the number of dormers, how large the extension is and your location. You don’t have a problem in Kemp-Town as far as location is concerned because it’s not one of the more expensive options in the UK. Plus, Clifton Hill & Montpelier Loft Conversions offer fantastic prices for loft conversions.

Some types of loft conversions are as follows:

Rooflight conversion; our team will have roof lights added to the front and back to create your new space using the existing capacity you have and no more. You also have the option of having windows added to the gable walls. Since we won’t be changing much, this is the most cost-effective option. Dormer conversion; here, the aim is to expand the space available by putting dormer windows into the pitched roof plane.

To complete the job, we’ll extend the roof over the gables to ensure enough space is created. Gable-to-gable conversion; here, the gable wall will be built while the roof will be rebuilt at the back, resulting in a nearly vertical position that’s as high as the ceiling. This ends up forming a wall with windows. We often use this method for terrace houses. If the goal is a large area with full headroom, then this method would work. Mansard conversion; our team will be doing major work to install a new box-like structure in place of your roof. That would mean your house would have an additional storey with almost vertical tile-hung walls. On top of the new structure, we’ll place an almost flat roof. Is it possible to do a loft conversion for every kind of building? For most kinds of houses, it wouldn’t be a problem to do a conversion.

That being said, buildings with a certain kind of roof pitch and shape can be problematic for loft conversion. Get in touch with us right now about coming to see your house to help you determine whether a loft conversion can be done. We’ll need to check how many usable load bearing walls in your house can provide support for the new structure. With a gable end wall present, it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge to carry out a loft conversion. However, it’ll be a different story if you have an intersecting pitched roof, a hipped roof or a trussed rafter roof as those are more complex to work with. You’ll not be making a mistake by choosing us to handle your loft conversion even if yours is a complicated roof, as we’ve worked on several kinds of rooves in Kemp-Town and beyond.
