A loft conversion is the best way to create extra space in your Wivenhoe home. By building a Wivenhoe loft conversion, you can make use of under-used space in your attic, and create an extra bedroom or living room. Wivenhoe loft conversions are also much cheaper than adding on to your house by building an extension. Here are some of the benefits of loft conversion: -You'll have more storage space than ever before. -You will have more room to relax and unwind. -You can create a new bedroom or study space which will give you more privacy.
Yes! If you're converting your Wivenhoe loft to a bedroom, it's important to get an agreement in place before you start the work. A party wall is any wall that separates two properties, and a party wall agreement will protect both parties interests. This is especially important if you're going to be adding any work that could affect the structural integrity of the property next door (like adding another floor). If you don't have an agreement in place, your neighbor could sue you for any damage done during construction or afterward. And if they don't want to agree with what's written in the agreement, they can refuse access to their property and slow down construction time significantly.
Your loft is not immune to potential dangers that can happen to your home! It is important to take into consideration safety features and standards to adhere to your loft. Loft Conversions Company creates lofts in Wivenhoe that meet these standards and we advise our clients on these factors.
Fire Hazards
First is the potential fire hazard in your loft. It is important that your loft’s temperature is regulated properly and this is done through proper loft insulation. At Loft Conversions Company, we take the extra step to install roof and floor insulation to regulate the temperature in your loft. This prevents your loft from trapping too much heat, especially during warmer seasons. Another plus for insulation is that it will, in turn, keep you warm during winter! It is also advisable to have fire extinguishers placed in your loft for safety.
Hazards During Construction
While your loft is being constructed, there is no need to move out or relocate! However, for homeowners with elderly or toddlers, it is important to have additional safety measures. As our construction team at Loft Conversions Company will carry out our work carefully, we ask kindly our clients to also take into consideration the possibility of dust and debris during the construction of your loft. But it is our promise as well to clean up after ourselves to minimize dirt and dust during your Loft Conversion!
Exit/Entry Points
Your loft will be built to be accessible to your already existing home. With this, additional doors, windows, and a staircase will be added. Some homeowners in Wivenhoe even opt to have a roof light or Juliet Balcony installed for more character. It is important, especially for those with children and toddlers, to have approved designs that are secure for your family. An extra measure some homeowners opt for is babyproofing of windows and choosing staircases with less intricate designs. While a spiral staircase may look cool and interesting, sometimes a straight staircase with proper railing is the better option.
