Here at complete loft conversions we like to meet and talk to our customers about their projects and how they can get the most out of their building project whether its a loft conversion or a extension that’s why we offer a no obligation site visit for an informal discussion about your project to see what extra ideas can be added before the architect comes to view and submit your drawings subject to your approval a full list of this process is available here.

I find a sit visit to view your project is always good to get an idea of what the loft space or extension is to be used for (bedrooms, games room, ect) this helps when deciding how to divide the rooms and spaces to get the maximum benefit out of your home.

So if you wish to find out more about how we can help you with your conversion please contact us here or call us for an informal chat on what can be achived in your loft space.

 

We are still carrying out loft conversions and building projects in and around the Suffolk and Ipswich area specialising in making attic conversions for growing families in a cost effective way.

Converting a loft is by no means a simple operation but it can be made easier with the correct planning and organisation  the methods of building loft conversions have also changed with the introduction of engineered joists and GLUELAM beams (these are timber load bearing beams laminated  with composite materials for extra strength) these can often mitigate the need for heavy duty steels within the alteration of a roof therefore saving time and money on the build cost.

Many architects stick to the same methods because of the only relatively recent introduction of these high grade composite materials  but what many architects do not realize is that many local authorities  accept the manufacturers calculations for these composite materials and beams without the need for structural engineers although in some instances they would need to be involved in  the process.

There is still a use for steels within loft conversions but in my opinion with the introduction of high quality timber joisting systems as mentioned in my previous posts here the lifting of these materials using cranes is not needed so costing less and simplifying the construction of your loft conversion.
