Southall Loft Conversions

We offer a range of Loft Conversion types in Southall, 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.

How Long Does It Take To Put Scaffolding Up For A Loft Conversion in Southall?

How Long Does It Take To Put Scaffolding Up For A Loft Conversion in Southall?

When you decide to get a loft conversion in Southall, most contractors will put up scaffolding on the outside of your home in both the front and the rear. This is to give them easy access to the loft and house. This will reduce the amount of mess and noise that is created while they are working inside your house. In the early stages of the conversion, you don't have to come inside, as materials are lifted up onto the scaffold with a crane. Therefore, you will never have to worry about any materials being towed through your house.
Once the scaffolding is up, construction work will move to the interior. Once the contractors have finished with the exterior, they will install the timber structure and staircase. The next step will be to add glazing and insulation to the loft space. Once all these steps are complete, the builders will be able to finish the rest of the work with plaster boarding. Finally, they will complete the carpentry and electrical work and paint the new loft space.
Adding value to a home can be expensive in Southall, but many homeowners can save money by tackling the work themselves. There are also several other costs to consider, such as obtaining parking permits, which can make the process cheaper. This is why it's essential to plan ahead and ensure that everything is in place before the work begins. The longer it takes, the higher the price, and the higher the chance of delays.
