Is it possible to have a loft or attic conversion at my property?
• Will I need planning permission approval?
• What type of dormer would be suitable?
• How many Velux windows should be fitted?
• Where will the stairs go?
• Is there enough space for a shower room?
 Skyline
will be happy to help you assess the suitability of your loft
or attic space for a conversion, offering advice on key issues
such as headroom*, what dormer type is suitable, what type
of staircase is needed for access and where it will be positioned,
plus full information on Velux roof windows.
In
some cases, local planning regulations will dictate the type
of conversion permitted. Where such approvals are not needed,
dormer structures can be constructed if required
(depending upon sufficient headroom*), we will advise
you on what type of dormer is most suitable for your property.
No dormer structure needed? Then a Velux Roof Window
conversion will be suitable, allowing you to have
that extra room within the existing roof structure. Whichever
loft type is decided upon, Skyline will make sure that a maximum
floor space is created.
Sometimes
the new staircase may be able to go in various
locations, and there may also be options for the position
of the new fire door; either at the top of
the new stairs or maybe at the bottom, leaving the new loft
space 'open plan' style.
Skyline
will organise the architectural drawings
and offer a design for your approval, amendments (if required)
can be made to the drawings before they are finalised. Once
finalised, the drawings will initially be used to obtain Planning
Permission (where required), structural calculations
and to submit with the Building Regulations Application.
Whatever the design, Skyline will provide practical,
helpful advice and solutions to ensure you get the right design
and the best value for money.
If you already have the architectural drawings Skyline will
be happy to offer a quotation or estimate based on the drawings
provided to us..
*
Note: The minimum existing headroom required by Skyline to
carry out a loft or attic conversion is 2.2 metres (7ft
3inches approx.), this measurement is taken from the
top of the existing ceiling joist to the underside of the
ridge board (the apex or highest point).
Please feel free to telephone or email
us if you have any questions or to find out more -
we're always happy to help.
