A common misconception about conservation areas is that they are to be free of development. This is not strictly correct, but there are certain limitations and considerations when it comes to home extensions. These are primarily concerned with preserving the general style and character of the surrounding environment. This means that any work that significantly extends or changes the roofline, such as a dormer conversion, will require very specific permission to proceed. This does not rule out rear dormer or hip-to-gable conversions in conservation areas; if they meet the requirements of the planning permissions governing the location, they may be accepted. However, for less intrusive conversion work, such as Velux or Mansard conversions, permission is rarely required (so long as the property in question is not a listed building). These styles add no new structure to the existing structure, leaving views unobstructed and the design intact.
Although timescales will be completely estimated because there are factors that could affect the time it takes to complete your loft conversion, knowing what to expect week by week can be useful.
• First Week The first week of work on your loft conversion will typically be spent organizing equipment and materials to ensure maximum safety while working on your property. Although there may appear to be little progress on the loft, scaffolding will be erected to lay the foundations of the loft conversion before roofing and installation are installed. During this stage of the process, it is very common for a skip to be outside the house
• Second Week By the end of the second week, the roofing and flooring of the loft conversion will have been completed, ensuring that it is safe and stable before proceeding with any other work. During this time, installation, ventilation, and internal stud walls will be built in accordance with the design guidelines. However, for hip-to-gable designs, for example, roof structuring may extend into the second week, but the team will notify you of this before construction begins.
• Third Week Week three will be entirely dependent on how well the construction goes. You may need more time to install the roofing and flooring systems before proceeding with the loft conversion.
• Fourth week This could be week four or week five, depending on how far the construction has progressed. In any case, this is usually when the team finishes the rest of the loft conversion, putting the finishing touches on it to ensure that it is exactly how you envisioned.
The average cost of a Loft Conversion in Sundridge is between £40,000 to £90,000. (in 2022) The most common type of Loft Conversion is the dormer as it adds the most space and best light to your property. A loft conversion will not only give you extra space but also enhance your living space on your property. A loft conversion price depends on many factors such as type of the conversion, type of the roof you have, type of the lighting you want in the loft, the type of windows required, the size of the project, fixtures and fittings, nature of the exterior, client's personal requirements and the site's location.
