We were commissioned to convert the current three bedroom home, into a four bed-roomed three storey loft conversion with stunning views over Ipswich.

We have currently installed the new floor stairs, steel flat roof and clad the cheeks of the dormers with finer cent slate which can be vertically hung.

.

The loft conversion will incompass a large bedroom with good sized en-suite and a custom built walk in wardrobe over 30 square meters of conversion with side and fold rear doors to a stylish glass Juliet balcony we have also installed three velux and reproofed the entire front of the property with the existing welsh slate.

As we can see from the picture the whole roof has been stripped of slate for the rear dormer and from the front to be  membraned as there was no felt

Below we can see the main room of the conversion from the bifold door postion

We have also insulated the flat cold roof with 160mm celotex and the exterior walls with 100mm and the internal walls with 70mm.

Below we can see the glulams being installed and the ashler walls erected before taking out the finik trusses.

Here we can see the next stage of construction the joists between the gluelams and the chipboard floor being installed.

After the timber floor is installed we installed the stair case to gain complete access to the loft.

Once the stair case has been fitted the the internal walls can be erected.

Once the internal work is completed we erect the scaffold and break through the roof and create the flat dormer as seen below.

We then build the dormer and dormer cheeks and put the facias and soft on then we also cald the top deck and felt the roof so we are water tight.

As we can see below the dormer is built and water tight but not clad we need to put in the windows which and take a month on order before doing the cladding.

We also needed to put in a velux and ventilation for the cold roof above the dormer to keep the air flowing around the roof space.

We then set about installing the insulation which was 70mm celotex fitted tightly between the joists and rafters and taped with foil tape to stop cold spots.

We also celotexed the celing and around the dormer cheeks.

We then put space blanket equivalent to 200mm celotex to get the U values for the build and the 25mm battens over to take the plasterboard.

Now with all the plumbing and electrics tested and checked the whole loft space is plasterboarded and plastered.

Here we can see the window board radiator and loft nearly complete

We also fitted the bathroom to the clients specifications which included walk in shower,mermaid board,sink and toilet.

Complete loft conversions carry out the complete conversion to the last detail

Here we can see the loft conversion with the scaffold down and all of the cladding guttering and lead work complete.

As we can see the existing roof has been half stripped of before the gable end wall looked seriously dodgy and also had to be taken down and replaced by 6×2 stud work.

The trusses as we can see are huge and the top hats needed to be nailed on before erecting as we can see there are also a lot of loose timbers for the infills, dormers and joisting.

We can now see the trusses erected with spaces for the velux on the back of the property and the gable wall rebuilt in stud work to take the gable ladder and to create the end wall.

Here we can see the roof all covered in the vekux are formed underneath ready for the roofers to fit the velux kits.

Here we can see the dormers which have been built on the front of the property with a small velux for the toilet inside.
