Loft conversions in Jaywick are a great way to get more out of your home. But before you commit to the project, make sure that your loft space is actually suitable for conversion. Your loft is an upper story in your house, with a sloped ceiling and usually no windows. It can also be dangerous if you don't add safety features like railings or a ladder. If you're considering a Jaywick loft conversion but aren't sure how much work it will take or whether you'll need professional help, we recommend hiring our structural engineer and contractor who specialize in conversions.
-Does the roof slope steeply? (This will make it harder to install a staircase.)
-Are there any obstructions, like ducts or plumbing pipes? (If so, you'll need to move them.)
-Is the ceiling high enough that you can stand up in it? (You'll need at least 7 feet of headroom.)
-Is the structure of the building sound? The structure of your home must be sound and able to bear the weight of a loft conversion.
* The conversion does not exceed half of the total floor area of the property * You don't need planning permission for any other works carried out at the same time as the loft conversion (but remember this doesn't apply if you want to change the use of your property)
* The height of the new floor will be no more than 8 meters above ground level
Add a Juliet Balcony and Door
If you want to enjoy a fresh breeze on your loft or if you want to better appreciate the views you can get with a Loft Conversion in Jaywick, adding a Juliet Balcony to your loft will be perfect! A door, on the other hand, is essential for your loft’s accessibility. This will be an entryway that will lead to your loft to make it more inviting.
Add a Stairwell
Connecting your stairwell to your door is another necessity in making your loft accessible. It is also important to choose a design for your staircase that is safe and fits your space. There are different design options for stairs. Your stairwell can be something as fun as a spiral staircase, or something more traditional and basic, like a straight staircase with railings. If you opt for a straight staircase, you can make it more unique with the railing design of your choice.
