If you have chosen Hounslow as your home borough, then you have chosen well. It is one of the most favoured suburbs in West London to set up home. Choosing a home isn’t always easy. It is one of the weightiest decisions we ever make, and once we find the right one, all we want to do is settle in and get comfortable without any more worries. Yet, most homeowners reluctantly move house due to a growing family and the need for bigger space. Loft conversions Hounslow can change all that for you. You can create the extra bedroom, bathroom, or playroom right in your beloved home.

Every successful loft conversion involves systematic planning, from the design to legal requirements. Your first consideration should be suitability. If you live in a period home, you will find your loft space easy to convert. The basic requirements for loft conversions are as follows;

A head height of 2.2m or more
Chimney stacks, water tanks, and plumbing can be moved safely out of the way
The design does not violate building regulations
A loft conversion company in Hounslow can carefully ensure that your plans are in par with the specifications. When you have assessed your home’s interior and exterior suitability, you might want to think about the need for planning permission. A plan that meets the set-out guidelines does not need permission; listed buildings and conservation areas excluded. You may not know it yourself, but your home can be a listed one, or your area may be a conserved one. You can inquire from your local planning authority or check with the Historic England online database.

When you convert your loft, you must also adhere to recommended building control. These specify;

Safe fire escape
Firm structural strength of the new floor
Safe staircase to access new floor
Sound insulation
Stability of existing roof

A Dormer loft conversion is one of Britain’s favourite extension types. Their popularity is down to the low-cost technique and minimal disruption.

The mansard loft conversion is the ultimate expansion for ample living space. It dramatically alters the existing roof structure and often requires planning permission. However, the result outweighs the effort with a 20% increase to your property’s value, straight away. It allows enough room for en suite double bedroom.

Hip to Gable is another conversion choice that can considerably extend your home square footage. It replaces the hip end of the roof with a gable end. If your house has two hip ends, you can create two of these resulting in a double hip to gable. These are ideal for semi-detached, detached, and end of terrace homes.

Velux loft conversion, the most basic type, is another beneficial transformation to create extra space in your attic with minimum effort. The addition of Velux roof windows without changing the shape or form of the roof is cost-effective and the least disruptive.

Costs vary based on the type of loft you choose and the size of your home.

A Rooflight loft (Velux) costs from £1,150 to £1,350 per square metre.

Dormer conversions can cost from £1,250 to £1,450 per square metre.

A square metre of Mansard and Hip to Gable loft conversions cost from £1,500 to £2,500.

How we deliver projects

Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.

1. Design

This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.

2. Planning

At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.

3. Technical

Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.

4. Pre-build

90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.

5. Build

One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.

6. Handover

As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
