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?

Questions to ask during loft conversion assessment
What's the most important questions to ask when a specialist is assessing your loft for conversion?
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.
Time between planning permission and starting loft conversion
How long after getting planning permission can we leave it until we start our loft conversion?
How much to soundproof a loft conversion?
How much is soundproofing likely to add to the cost of a loft conversion? How much is decent soundproofing per metre?
Weight of loft conversion
Is weight an issue for the house foundations when adding a big loft conversion?
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?
