Loft Conversions
The following aims to answer some common queries. Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Can my loft be converted?
90% of traditional roofs can be converted after a survey has been carried out.
How much will it cost?
We offer a free, consultation and fully detailed all inclusive quote in the post to you within 7 days.
Is my loft too small?
In order to comply with Building Regulations, the loft must be a minimum of 2m at its highest point. Those measurements are taken from the top surface of the ceiling boards below, to the felt at the very apex of the roof.
How long will the work take?
For an average sized home, from commencement of work, we would normally be complete in 2 - 5 weeks depending on the size, design and whether dormers are fitted.
Will I need a Dormer window?
Nearly all lofts can have a dormer window, which can provide useful extra space in a tight loft, adding light and outlook to a room. Some smaller lofts may require a dormer at the top of the stairs to provide h
eadroom as you climb the stairs into the loft.
What about Planning Permission and Building Regulations?
Some conversions require Planning Permission and all have to adhere to Building Regulations.We can advise you on this at your consultation.
I have a water tank and a chimney in my loft, is that a problem?
Using our own plumbers, we can easily reposition any plumbing to maximise usable space in the loft. Chimney stacks usually have to remain in position, but can occasionally be removed.

Garage Conversions
Garage Conversion Frequently Asked Questions
So how much will your garage conversion cost?
Firstly, we would always recommend that you receive at least two or three quotations to satisfy yourself that you are choosing the right company to carry out your garage conversion.
We also encourage you to visit our existing clients to see their garage conversion and ask them what they think about us and our service.
Since every garage conversion is unique, all of our proposals are completely different and final costing is dependent on your finishing choices and specification.
Our proposals are inclusive of all labour, materials, skips and waste removal and guarantee.
It is good if you can compare the quotes you receive on a like for like basis so ask your tendering companies to provide a full specification and detail of intended works to ensure all your requirements are included.
Made 2 Measure garage conversions start at around £4,999 for a single basic garage
