Roedean-based loft conversion experts

Every large family deserves a large enough space to accommodate every last member. You can extend your house instead of making the huge financial commitment of buying a new house.

Why get a loft conversion?

Whether you’re in Roedean or any of the surrounding areas, there are many reasons why you might want to convert your loft. In many cases, people want to expand their homes to ensure that every member of the family is accommodated. You can never have too much living space, so you could decide to convert the loft into a hobby or game room. Or you could turn it into your own safe haven where you can work, away from noise and distractions.

As more people begin to realise the kind of value a loft conversion can add to their home, they’re choosing to convert their lofts to make their homes more valuable. Loft conversion is easily the most beneficial of all the means of improving the amount of usable space in a home.

It’s faster to complete than other home extension types and doesn’t prevent you from extending even without a garden. In addition, it’s generally cost effective and less expensive than moving into a new place. It’s not as much hassle either as you may not need permission from the authorities, plus your garden will not be damaged. We guarantee that your new room will be finished exactly as you intended it to be, down to the last detail. At Clifton Hill & Montpelier Loft Conversions, we have worked with many homeowners in Roedean to help them realise their dreams of having more spacious homes.

Are loft conversions really that beneficial?

You certainly are. Whatever the reason you want a loft conversion – an en suite bedroom or a nursery, it’s definitely a good idea to have it done. You wouldn’t have to wait too long before the job is completed. The end result is most certainly worth the mess that ensues as we work on your loft conversion.

As the extent of work differs, the Building Regulations that apply also vary. Extensive activities such as installing stairs, boarding out the loft or lining the wall are likely to have the regulations apply.

If there’s any need to obtain approval for the work, we’ll get it done. How much does a loft conversion cost in Roedean?

What you eventually pay will be determined by factors such as your location, the size of the extension and the number of dormers. As far as the location is concerned, loft conversions in Roedean aren’t much more expensive than other locations in the UK. Plus, Clifton Hill & Montpelier Loft Conversions offer fantastic prices for loft conversions.

Depending on what you decide, we could opt for any of these loft conversion types:

Rooflight conversion; this involves adding roof lights to the back and front to create a new loft conversion without adding to the volume of your existing roof space. As an option, you can have windows added to the gable walls. This type of loft conversion saves cost since it doesn’t require making too many changes. 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. We’ll build the gable wall and rebuild the roof behind to create a raised, near vertical pitch as high as the ceiling. This will result in a wall with windows. We often use this method for terrace houses. The resulting space can be a large one with full headroom. Mansard conversion; our team will be doing major work to install a new box-like structure in place of your roof. The result is an extra storey with four nearly vertical tile-hung walls. Instead of your old roof, you’ll then have a nearly flat roof. Is it possible to do a loft conversion for every kind of building? There’s a good chance your home wouldn’t have a problem with a loft conversion.

However, the shape and pitch of your existing roof will go a long way to determine whether you can have a loft conversion done. We can schedule an appointment to come see your house in order to determine whether we can carry out a loft conversion. We would need to know the number of usable load bearing walls are available to support 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. Our team have experience with loft conversion for homes in Roedean with many different types of rooves, so we know how to handle a complicated roof.
