The Process of Building a Loft Conversion

One of the best ways to gain extra space in your home is by converting your loft – whether you want to gain an additional bedroom, a bathroom or a space that can be used for working in, a loft conversion gives your home that additional space and can also add value to your property.

There are lots of rules and regulations that need to be adhered to that ensure that your loft conversion is safe, so it is important that you get someone who specialises in this sort of work to do the job for you, such as this loft conversions Bristol based company caineslofts.co.uk/loft-conversions-bristol/

Something that you may be wondering is how long does it take to do a loft conversion – this is something that can vary, and depends on a few things…

Planning – Firstly, you need to make sure that you are permitted to undertake this work. For most properties a loft conversion is classed as permitted development like a conservatory, so you don’t need to obtain planning permission when this is the case, however you should check as this is not the same for all homes. If you need to get planning permission this is of course going to take some time so factor this in.

Design – Once you have sorted the planning permission the next step is the design. The person who is doing the work will go through your brief and start making plans that you then will agree on once you are happy with them.

Building – Once the design is complete you then can make a start on the building. The time that it takes to do this will likely be estimated by the architect and the builders that are working with you – although they will estimate it, sometimes delays can happen so do bear that in mind.
