Not at all. The old water tank can be decommissioned by our qualified plumbers. Chimney can either be boarded out or totally removed to create more floor space depending on your requirement.

You can easily check this if you have loft access hatch and ladder. Try and measure the distance from top of your first floor ceiling joists to the underside of loft ridge timber. You need minimum 2.5M to achieve the floor to ceiling height of 2M which is minimum requirement. If your loft height falls short of 2.5M, you my need to drop the first floor ceilings to achieve minimum height.

It normally takes approx. 8-10 weeks to complete a loft conversion depending on the type and size.

If your property is suitable for a dormer loft conversion and you are in the need of extra space in the house, you should definitely consider the loft conversion. It is the most economical way to maximise the potential of your property and create more space without having to move.

Loft conversion is the best way to add value to your property. Recent research carried out by the Nationwide Building Society has stated that a loft conversion could add up to 20% to the value of your home. If your property is valued at £500,000, that’s a whopping increase of up to £100,000!

Simply put – YES. Lot conversion is cheaper and less disruptive as compared to an extension which involves foundation, brickwork, etc. Loft project usually requires a steel and timber construction which is quick and economical.
