  • Loft Conversion

    Hello, I’m in the stages of planning a loft conversion. It’s not a huge loft and will probably only fit a desk and will be used for storage. I was advised to install two velux windows as to start with so at least we can get some light. I will need separate staircase going into the loft, for which there is space to do so - would I need an architect to draw all this up?

    How to board a loft with thick insulation?

    Hey guys. Tell me about loft boards. Best types? Do I need legs/stilts for the boards? We are looking at laying boards down in attic for storage space. The insulation is really thick though and comes up higher than the joists so I don’t know how to proceed. What would be the best way to install loft boards over insulation, so they don’t push the insulation down?

    Velux Loft conversion

    I am considering a loft conversion by going into the loft by putting the velux windows. This would mean the staircase will be installed by taking space from a small room. Can you share a typical cost of such a lft conversion in London? How long would it take? I am assuming for a semi-detached house, you don't need planning permission but only satisfy the building control and presumeably a party wall.

    New joists for loft conversion

    Is it likely that a loft needs new joists before being converted? I guess this could vary a lot from house to house?
