CAN MY LOFT IN BARKING BE CONVERTED? Yes, you can convert your loft into Barking! The first step in converting your loft is to make sure that your home has enough headroom for two rooms. Next, consult with our architects or builders in Barking about how much it would cost to convert your loft.
Roof light/Velux loft conversions are simple and easy to install and don't require any structural work on your house. However, they're not suitable for everyone as they can be noisy in windy weather and don't offer much privacy from below. Dormer loft conversions are ideal if you want more natural light and a bit more space than a roof light/Velux conversion would provide. They're fairly easy to install but may require some structural work on your house—particularly if the dormer is large enough to contain a bedroom or living room area—and they can be noisy in windy weather too. Hip-to-gable conversions are usually more expensive than other types of loft conversion because they involve quite a bit of structural work on your house; however, they give you lots of extra space and natural light without taking up any additional square.
A full loft conversion in Barking involves taking down walls and making structural changes inside your home. It also requires building a staircase to get up to the new floor. If you are adding a mezzanine floor without doing any other work to your home, this process should be much quicker—but still involves some renovation (such as adding a staircase).
If you're planning a loft conversion in Barking, it's essential to understand the concept of party walls. A party wall is a wall that divides two properties and is shared between them. It's essential to get an agreement in writing so that neither you nor your neighbour can change their mind once work has started. Additionally, make sure to check whether or not your local council has any regulations in place regarding party walls and how these will affect your project. If there are any disputes over the changes proposed for a party wall, then professional help from a surveyor may be required to settle them. Make sure you understand the implications of this before beginning your loft conversion project.
