The Crowthorne building regulations apply to all types of buildings, not just houses. They also apply to lofts, which are usually accessed by a ladder and provide additional space for storage or sleeping. Lofts must have fire escapes at least every two floors and fire blankets or extinguishers on each floor. If you have an open-plan loft, you must install smoke detectors throughout the space. You can only convert a loft into a habitable room if it adjoins your home and is insulated with a fire-resistant material. It must also have an escape route that leads directly outside without any obstructions so that people can leave quickly in case of fire.
The time it takes for your Crowthorne conversion depends on a few factors: the size of your home and the complexity of the project. In general, most conversions take anywhere between 2 and 10 weeks. We'll work with you to determine what's best for your home and family, but here are some general guidelines: 2 weeks: A small loft conversion that involves no structural changes. This might include adding a dormer window or converting an attic into a bedroom. 5-6 weeks: A smaller loft conversion that involves a structure or electrical changes (like adding an extra light fixture). 7-10 weeks: A larger loft conversion that involves a structure or electrical changes (like adding an extra light fixture).
The cost of a Crowthorne loft conversion can vary from £25,000 to £85,000 depending on the size and complexity of the work. The average price for a loft conversion is typically around £35,000. - The layout of your home - If you don't have space for an extra bedroom in your home, then you may need to consider building an extension or knockdown and rebuild which will increase the cost significantly. - How much new flooring is needed - If there isn't enough room for a bed at ground level then you'll need to add an extra layer of flooring which will increase costs further still.
