If you are interested in expanding you habitable living space, we offer part loft conversions. We manage each and every project in its entirety, including an optional Architectural Design Service that includes planning regulations and structural calculations.
From enquiry to completion, our dedicated conversion teams will be there to assist every step of the way.
Part Loft Conversion
A part loft conversion is classed as a ‘deluxe storage area’ that is accessed via a high quality retractable access ladder, usually a timber access ladder with flat, wide treads for everyday comfort, these ladders always come with an enlarged structural opening in the ceiling and also available fully automated by remote, wall switch and smart phone, these deluxe storage areas would normally have a few Velux opening roof windows for both natural light and ventilation to the loft, we always upgrade the thermal fibre insulation to the floor of the loft to prevent heat escaping from the habitable floors below, we also insulate the roof slopes to help with heat escaping from the loft space in the winter months and heat entering the loft though our summer months.
We would create clean usable storage cupboards under the eaves of the loft space so you don’t lose out on these valuable storage areas and leaving the main usable loft space totally clear, these deluxe storage spaces come with low energy LED lighting and flush fitting power sockets fully installed by our qualified electricians, once the loft space is plaster boarded our specialist plasterers will plaster render any brickwork for example part walls, gable walls and chimney breasts followed by a final plaster skim.
The part loft conversion itself looks very similar to a full loft conversion at face value, but comes at a fraction of the cost due to eliminating the need for any architectural design fees, structural calculation fees, building regulation fees and much more.
A part loft conversion is classed as a non-habitable room within the property.
It holds many uses, for example:
Home Office
Cinema Room
Children's Playroom
Hobby Room
Staircases
We supply and install a variety of staircases including spiral, traditional timber, made-to-measure, oak and even a number of glass staircases. From elaborate modern and traditional centre pieces to the basic staircase designed to maximise space.
This position of the staircase within the home is one of the most important decisions you will need to make in the early stages of your loft conversion. The key is to maximise the floor space within the full loft conversion, without taking too much away from the storey below. If the room sizes are restricted or light is an issue, we will provide a staircase that is the perfect combination of functional and creative.
Our aim is to ensure the design and finish of your new staircase achieves everything you need, whilst complementing your home perfectly.
Designing your staircase
The most space-effcient place to install the new staircase up to the loft is above the existing stair, however this is not always feasible. The available headheight above the ground to first floor staircase and the layout of each storey are both important factors that need to be taken into consideration. There are also a number of complex building regulations that will need to be adhered to, including minimum step height and maximum pitch of the stairs.
How you want your new staircase to look is completely up to you. Here is a brief breakdown of the elements you will need to consider:
