Converting Your Loft? Here Are Four Things You Need To Know

Home & Organization

One of the most popular home renovations that people choose to make is the one where they convert their loft. Loft conversions have always been a popular way for people to add more value to their homes, and with house prices rising right now, sellers are doing all they can to add even more value. If you are currently looking at renovating your property, you might find that a loft conversion gives you one of the best ways to add space, light and add value to your house.

An empty loft space can actually be prime real estate. You may need to contact a roofing company to discuss your loft conversion ideas, especially if you’re looking to add a skylight to your loft. You also need to make sure that you have a loft designer to help you to bring your vision to life. Perhaps you’d like a spare guest room, or a teenage hang out? You can pretty much do anything you want with your loft space, but you need these four tips before you get started.

  1. What room will it be? If you already have enough bedrooms in your home, and you have enough bathrooms, you may be considering what else you could do for your loft conversion. You could renovate the space to a peaceful study space or even a movie room! The beauty of a loft renovation is that you can make it anything that you want it to be for your home. Consider the size of the space and how it can be utilised. 
  2. Is a loft conversion possible? It sounds like an obvious question, because loft conversions are just not possible. It may be a good idea to discover whether or not you are eligible for one before you decide to put all these plans in place and budget for it. You could ask an architect or a contractor to get their opinion on whether or not you’re not space is structurally sound and easy to manipulate and change. You can ask the roofing company whether a skylight would be possible or a bad idea. This is going to help to inform most of your decision making about your loft conversion.
  3. Can you fit new storage? A loft conversion can end up being a brand-new shape of a room. Lofts are not standard, so if you’re going to use it as a specific room, you need to know whether you can fit in any storage. Fitted wardrobes  would be an incredible option for a loft conversion as they are very popular for this particular space. Ask your contractor whether or not they have any storage suggestions for your loft when you discuss the conversion.
  4. Are you installing windows? The loft is not a well lit room, which means you need to consider the windows and install new windows into the space. Skylights are a popular loft option because of the fact they have the ability to pour in natural light to the space. There are plenty of different window options you can get for your loft but you will need planning permission for it.
