What do you need to know about Loft Conversions in Hammersmith?

A loft conversion is a simple home expansion that is getting more and more popular in Hammersmith. It’s a well-known home improvement project for properties with limited lot area. Loft conversions in Hammersmith let you enjoy an additional room without losing some outdoor living space. The project also provides you with creative ways to work within the current layout of your Hammersmith property. Own another bedroom with a separate bathroom, an efficient study room where you can let your kids learn on their own, or a private room where you can install a top-grade home entertainment set that will be dedicated to intimate family nights. 

IS YOUR HOUSE READY FOR A LOFT CONVERSION?

An area designated for storage might open an opportunity to turn it into a livable area to be factored into your home’s square footage, you just need to consider the following: the measurements of your ceiling joist and ridge timber should not be lower than 2.2 meters in length, the pitch angle of your roof should be 40 degrees or greater, this will determine the available floor area and headroom that we can work with. Chimneys, ventilation pipes, and other fixed obstacles should be taken into account when calculating space requirements because they may restrict accessibility later on down the line. The shape of the end beams will also determine how much work needs to be done in order to properly turn a loft into a living space with floors.

TYPES OF LOFT CONVERSIONS

To truly enjoy the perks of a loft conversion in Hammersmith, you then need to decide which type should you get for your empty area. There are different kinds to choose from and it would be an advantageous move if you have an idea of how they are unique from one another. The most common and the most popular type is a rear dormer loft conversion. This kind of loft conversion lets you have the benefit of added space by restructuring your roof and a lovelier outside view by installing Velux windows. The cheapest kind is the Velux loft conversion which will give you the perks of saving on energy bills as natural light passes through the newly-installed roof windows. A more complex type is the hip-to-gable conversion which will require a lot of manpower as it will transform your hipped roof and maximize it into a room with a huge amount of headroom and floor area. While it’s important to take the time to consider your options before choosing which loft conversion type is right for your house in Hammersmith, you won’t have to do it alone. Our expert team will be with you from planning to construction so there won’t be any issues once your loft has been converted.

TYPES OF WINDOWS FOR YOUR LOFT CONVERSION

You can also choose whether you want to be fixed or sliding windows. Fixed windows don't open while sliding ones do (and can be opened only slightly). Sliding windows allow you to control airflow in and out of your home more precisely than fixed ones do—an important consideration if you live in a climate where there is a lot of wind or rain, or if your loft has no insulation. Fixed windows tend to be easier to use than sliding ones because they don't require any adjustment on your part.

 

WHY SHOULD YOU CONVERT YOUR LOFT?

Why should you convert your loft? Imagine a space where you can do anything, from reading in solitude to hosting a dinner party for friends. Or maybe it'll be the perfect spot for your kid's playroom so that they can have fun while you're busy making money. Whatever it is, a converted attic or loft could be the answer to all of your needs. 

When selecting the flooring for your loft conversion, you have many choices. You can opt for luxurious carpets or hardwood floors, depending on your budget and preference. Many people go with laminate or even vinyl tiles for a more affordable option that's also easy to install and clean. Whichever flooring option you choose, make sure it works well with the rest of the decor in the room and fits your lifestyle too!

CAN I INSTALL FLOOR HEATING IN A CONVERTED LOFT SPACE?

Yes, you can! Floor heating is a great way to keep your loft conversion warm and cozy throughout the year. Installing underfloor heating will make the space more comfortable and help reduce energy consumption by ensuring that heat is evenly spread throughout the room. This type of system works best with wooden floors or tiles as these are good conductors of heat. If you're installing over concrete, it's best to opt for an electric underfloor system. Before installation, make sure the area is appropriately insulated to achieve maximum efficiency. 

WHAT STRUCTURAL ISSUES TO CONSIDER?

When converting a loft, there are several structural issues to consider. You should always check the roof structure before starting any conversion work and ensure it is safe and can support the added weight of the conversion. If you have an existing staircase, it’s essential to ensure it meets safety standards before adding any additional levels. Lastly, you should consider whether your loft needs extra insulation so that energy bills don’t skyrocket after the conversion. These issues can be addressed safely and effectively with careful planning and our professional help!

WHY SHOULD YOU CONVERT YOUR LOFT IN W6 LOFTS AND EXTENSIONS

A Loft Conversion is the quickest way of increasing the amount of living space in your W6 Lofts and Extensions home. Did you know recent research undertaken by Nationwide Building Society has shown that a Loft Conversion can add over 20% to the value of your property? Moreover, it can improve your home’s energy efficiency too. All that extra insulation will surely bring down the cost of your energy bills. By converting your loft, it makes use of “unused” space to create an extra bedroom or bathroom, rather than eating into your garden. Overall, it costs less per square metre to convert a loft rather than build a rear or side extension, as most of the structure needed is already in place. Most of the loft conversions can be carried out without the need for planning permission if they don’t exceed a certain size. (40 cubic metres for a terraced property and 50 cubic metres for a detached house).

LOFT CONVERSION PROCESS

Our process includes an initial survey and design followed by architectural drawings and structural calculations. Here are the eight stages in our Loft Conversion Building Process:

  • Stage 1: Scaffolding is erected to get access to the loft
  • Stage 2: Structural beams are installed into party walls to create timber floor support and front roof elevation with dwarf wall.
  • Stage 3: Build the dormer structure and install Velux windows.
  • Stage 4: Finish roof tiling to both new dormer and front roof elevation
  • Stage 5: Build interior partitions, doorways, and ceilings.
  • Stage 6: Install double glazed windows together with floor and wall insulation.
  • Stage 7: Install new staircase between first floor and loft.
  • Stage 8: Plasterboard all the loft and complete with plaster skim.
