Why get a loft conversion?

Whether you’re in Preston or any of the surrounding areas, there are many reasons why you might want to convert your loft. The foremost reason for most people is to increase the amount of space available for the family’s use. Loft conversions are also fantastic for creating game or hobby rooms for the family to enjoy. 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. Loft conversion is easily the most beneficial of all the means of improving the amount of usable space in a home.

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 doesn’t cost that much compared to getting a new house. Even better, your garden will remain intact and you may not need to verify with the authorities before you can begin work.

A loft conversion can cost anywhere from £20,000 to twice or three times that. What you eventually pay will be determined by factors such as your location, the size of the extension and the number of dormers. Homeowners in Preston don’t have to pay as much as many other parts of the UK, so location shouldn’t be too much of a bother. Even better, we won’t rip you off by quoting exorbitant prices.

Some types of loft conversions are as follows:

Rooflight conversion; this type of conversion involves converting the existing roof space without increasing the volume beyond simply adding roof lights to the front and back. You also have the option of having windows added to the gable walls. This is the least expensive loft conversion type available to you since there isn’t much to be altered. Dormer conversion; this type of conversion gives you more volume in the back, sides or front since we’ll be adding 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; this method involves building the gable wall and rebuilding the roof at the back to raise the pitch and make it nearly vertical up to the height of the ceiling. This will result in a wall with windows. We’re likely to use this type of loft conversion if yours is a terrace house. The resulting space can be a large one with full headroom. Mansard conversion; this type of loft conversion involves removing your roof entirely and replacing it with a new structure resembling a box. The result is an extra storey with four nearly vertical tile-hung walls. The roof we place on top of that will then be nearly flat. Is it possible to do a loft conversion for every kind of building? In most cases, a loft conversion can be done.

But, in other cases, a loft conversion may not be possible due to the shape and pitch of the existing roof. We can have a look at your roof to help us decide whether we can complete a loft conversion, so please set up an appointment with us today. We’ll need to establish that the usable load bearing walls available are sufficient to provide solid support for the new structure. It will be easy to carry out a loft conversion if your roof has a gable end wall. For a hipped roof, an intersecting pitched roof, or a trussed rafter roof on an older home, however, it could be a problem. Having worked on different kinds of rooves across Preston, we can guarantee that we’ll be able to handle your loft conversion even if you have a complicated roof to work with.
