Tips to find the ideal Loft Conversion Company

A loft conversion is either used as a bedroom, storage, teen den, entertainment room, children's playroom, home office or even a bathroom. Globally, loft conversions have become a welcome trend for those who desire to extend their property without using up space meant for the garden or any other thing. Whatever your needs or wants, a loft conversion is one of the most cost effective and efficient ways to add to your living space without actually moving.

Before the project of converting your loft to a usable space is initiated, several factors are supposed to be considered. Firstly, the loft space that is to be used for the project should be properly inspected to ensure that the dimensions are such that will make the planed conversion feasible. It should also be ascertained if the space under the roof bridge is spacious enough for headroom.

Types of Loft Conversion

Dormer Loft Conversion

 Dormer Lofts are constructed in treated timber and clad in slates or tiles to match your property. Normally these are constructed under permitted development.

Mansard Loft Conversion 

Mansard type lofts are formed by building up both party walls. The rear walls are constructed with treated timbers at a 70 pitch and clad in slates. Windows are formed and cladded in lead. This type of loft normally needs planning permission.

All successful loft conversions depend on finding the right builder, unless you plan on undertaking the job yourself. A word of caution if you are thinking such a move; loft conversions can be a really big job that is best suited for the professionals. It is not the ideal area to cut corners and try to save money.

Finding a good builder is stressful at best. You need to be absolutely sure you can deal with the builder and deal with the workforce that will invade your home. You also need to know enough to be sure you are getting a good service and your bed won't fall through the floor the first night you sleep in it!

Research of building companies online is probably the best place to start if you don't have any recommendations. You start out by finding companies who will undertake work in your area and initiate contact. Take into consideration the type of interaction you have with company personnel, response time and level of friendliness. I know one such kind of company which is very famous for loft conversion, diy loft conversion, diy attic conversion and all type of conversion. The company is located in south London, known as Doran Bros.
