Gunnersbury Loft Conversions

We offer a range of Loft Conversion types in Gunnersbury, which include, dormer, mansard, hip to gable, L-shaped and velux loft conversions. Each of this loft type differs in complexity and structural changes to the roof. A Velux is one of the simplest and cost-effective, adding windows to the existing roof. A dormer gives a box-like extension to the roof. A hip-to-gable converts a sloping “hipped” side of a roof into a vertical “gable” end. Mansard loft conversion changes the structure of the roof entirely to create a more usable vertical space. An L-shaped conversion is a combination of two dormers, mostly at the rear of the property. Our team of builders will transform your house, giving you more living space and thereby increasing the value of your property.

The Loft Conversion Process In Gunnersbury
The first step of the loft conversion process in Gunnersbury is to assess the structure of the roof. The structural engineer will determine if the joists are strong enough to support the new floor and will specify the type, size, and grade of joists. The new rafters will be placed alongside existing rafters and span the distance between the load-bearing walls. These will be elevated slightly above the ceiling plaster. The new rafters will be made of thicker timbers, which will bridge the gap. If the existing joists are weak, you may have to install Rolled Steel & Metal joists to help distribute the load.
Once the loft conversion process is complete in Gunnersbury, the building control officer will inspect the project to ensure compliance with fire regulations. The conversion process typically takes six to eight weeks and requires a professional architect to complete. A professional architect will design the entire loft conversion, from the rafters to the lighting to the bathroom. If you choose a specialist loft company, the architectural team will work with you to determine the best course of action.
After the surveyor has inspected the property in Gunnersbury, the surveyor will prepare a quote and contract. The surveyor will also hand over your plans to architects. The architects will put your dreams onto paper. They will also advise on planning permission, as necessary. And once the plan is approved, the structural engineer will see it through the building regulations. They will ensure your loft conversion is safe and meets all the building regulations.

The first step to a loft conversion in Gunnersbury is checking if planning permission is required. It can take up to eight weeks for planning permission to be granted. Once you have planning permission, it will depend on the type and size of the conversion. Depending on the type of loft conversion, the time frame can be anywhere from four to eight weeks. During this time, you will need to be patient and flexible, but it's important to be aware of any disruption.
Once the design is finalised, the work can begin. The process of loft conversion is usually completed in six to seven weeks. The first step is preparing the house for the conversion. This involves obtaining planning permission, planning consent, and building regulations. The next step is completing the interior of the loft. The first week of work in the inside of the converted loft is when the staircase and other structural changes are made. The last week is when all specialist elements of the conversion are completed, including decorating the space.
Once the planning permission is granted in Gunnersbury, construction will move to the interior of the loft. If planning permission has been granted, the building will need access to the roof. Next, the timber structure and staircase will be installed. The next week will be dedicated to installing glazing and internal stud walls. The next week will be devoted to plaster boarding and carpentry. Once this is completed, the electricians and plumbers will complete the work. Once the interior has been completed, the finishing touches will include painting and flooring.

Before getting started, you should contact a professional loft conversion company in Gunnersbury. Many companies will offer a free quotation or site visit for a loft conversion project.

To avoid such surprises, get as many quotes as possible and shop around. A specialist company will give you a quote that includes all the costs involved, including the design, planning permission, and a guarantee of quality work.
