Loft Conversion cost

All the questions you're afraid to ask about loft conversion on London...

Just give us a call or send us an email to ask us anything you like on design, regulations or anything special about your home. In the meantime, here are some of the questions we are most often asked.

What is the approximate loft conversion cost and what can I expect from that?

The loft conversions cost purely depends on the quality of the materials you choose, the size of your loft, any other extra works to be done like extending your roof, fitting dormers, and so on. We would draw up a rough estimate for you to know what will be the approximate cost of a typical loft conversion and you can suggest some ideas from your end to cut the cost of that. For instance, maybe you can buy the materials and hand over them to us to work on!

What about the neighbours? How much do I have to involve them and can they cause problems?

Of course it's always a good idea to keep them informed if only out of good manners. However, the only formal dealings you are likely to have with them is likely to be over the party wall. We can draft a "party wall notice" for you and they have the right to use their own surveyor and charge you. But there is seldom any trouble.

How can I be sure of the quality of the workmanship and what happens if something goes wrong later?

Your job will be to the same high standard as a new build - which means it will probably better than your existing property. We guarantee our materials and workmanship for a full ten years from completion and we also belong to four professional organisations dedicated to guaranteeing our standards including the Consumer Protection Association and Federation Small Business.

Whose permission do I need, are there any special regulations, and what about the neighbours?

There are three building regulations, planning permission and the neighbours to be considered.

  Building regulations

These apply to all building work, whether they are complete new houses or extensions. They define safety standards and things like the heights of ceilings and the width of doors. They change from time to time and it is our job to know them and we will be inspected by the council who will issue a Completion Certificate when, and only when, they are satisfied that the work fully complies.

  Planning Permission

The pleasant surprise here is that you probably won't need it if there are no plans to build higher than the ridge of your existing roof and are staying within the confines of the walls.

If there are more ambitious plans, you will find that the authorities are usually sensible and reasonable if your neighbours can't argue that you are obscuring their view or restricting the daylight to their property. In either case, we will look after things for you.

  Party Walls

This is where the neighbours do have a legitimate interest because we can't deny that they have the right to be sure that we are not damaging the integrity of their home. They are entitled to ask you to pay for their own surveyor to check things out, though most are happy with our fully accredited professionals.

Most neighbours are helpful and encouraging, but if you are unfortunate enough to have people next door that you're not so sure about, you'll be glad to know that they can't usually stop you if you obey the rules, however hostile they may be. And it's always a good idea to share your plans before you start. Why not consider coming to us together for an estimate for a double loft extension? You'll find we'll be able to give you an even better deal.

I already have my own architect. Will you be able to work with him/her?

The simple answer is yes. We pride ourselves on being able to take on the whole job, but we understand very well that you may be used to working with other creative people who can design something especially for you. We are very happy to work with such people.

Can I reduce some of the cost by doing some of the work myself on loft conversions?

If you are, for example, an electrician or plumber, we would be glad to provide a structure only service. This would mean you could be assured that the building regulations would be satisfied. This is fine if you really do know what you're doing, but bear in mind the consequences if you are not absolutely sure.

How much disruption will there be? Will you make a mess of my home - and for how long?

Our first job will be to build scaffolding on one side of your home and this can, incidentally, be fully security protected so there may be less risk of burglary than at normal times. We then complete our work on the roof with minimal interference to your home life. All materials are taken up the outside so during the two months or so it takes us to complete this first phase of the work, will hardly be in your home at all except for the occasional need for small interruptions to your power or water supply.

When the big day come to connect your new room to the rest of your home, we will again keep the mess to a minimum. The major change inside is likely to be a new loft stairs, and you will be pleased to know that this will have been made in a few sections to our specification in our joiners workshop. They will not be constructed on your premise, just installed.

Where will the money come from? What do the banks think about extensions as security.

We cannot of course give advice about money and you must check what we have to say here with your own specialists. However, we believe you will find that banks and building societies acknowledge that this kind of work as an excellent risk and, if all else is to their liking in your financial status, we would be surprised if you had any problems.

Is it advisable to go for cheap loft conversions?

When you talk about cheap loft conversions there is a 50-50 percent of success ratio there. Some companies that promise you cheap loft conversion compromise on the quality of the products they use. Or else, in some cases, you may have to handle half of the process and they would just not bother to answer your calls or queries. It is always good to do a ground work on such companies before choosing them just for the reason you can get your loft converted for a much lesser cost.
Just when you hear the word “cheap loft conversion” many people fall prey for the business tactics used by the loft conversion companies. A normal loft conversion would cost somewhere about £30,000 to £50,000 and if you are promised something lesser than that, just check on the quality of the materials used by them.
