Questions to ask during loft conversion assessment
What's the most important questions to ask when a specialist is assessing your loft for conversion?
Boarding over loft for storage
What type of boards do I need to board over a loft for storage?
Part wall and Planning Permission
I am considering buying a semi-detached property in London borough of Hounslow. If my offer is accepted, can I serve the party wall notice? Can I also start the planning permission process or would it need to be submitted under the name of current owner?
Best thickness for loft insulation
What is the ideal thickness for a loft insulation? Does it depend on your home?
What is the minimum head height for stairs to a loft conversion?
Does staircase access to a loft conversion need to be where the head height is highest?
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?
Colour Change of the Cladding
Is it possible to change the cladding colour of my loft from the ash grey colour to a red/orange-like colour to match the building exterior? What are the options - replace the cladding or modify it with spray paint?
Attic conversion help
Can any attic undergo a conversion? In what cases can it and can it not? Are there any steps that may be needed in a scenario where an attic cant undergo a conversion, so that it can?
Living at home during a loft conversion
Will it be safe for my family to live in the house while we get our loft converted?
Dormer vs Velux rooflight for loft
Is it worth paying extra for a dormer window rather than have a Velux rooflight in a loft conversion? Does it make any difference to how much light it brings in or to the house value?
