Why Hire A Professional For Your Loft Conversion Project

1. Why Hire A Professional For Your Loft Conversion Project?" When it comes to a loft conversion in your home you may be thinking of doing it as a DIY project. This type of building project requires professional knowledge and expertise, just one of the many reasons why you should hire a professional for your loft conversion project. Professional loft conversion companies have the knowledge and experience needed to handle the entire project for you, saving you time, frustration and possibly money in the long run. They know that every project starts with a great design, based on your particular needs. Using an architect or designer, they can help you create a spacious and functional loft space that will help add living space and value to your home. The only time you will not need a professional for your loft conversion is if you intend to use the space for storage alone and not as an additional living area. It's easy to board the space out and add your boxes and items to the space to free up space in your home. The minute you want to add roof lights or windows, you will need to know and understand the building regulations and you may need planning permission. If you want to turn your unused loft space into a master en- suite bathroom, home office, playroom, cinema room, or guest room you will need to hire a professional to complete your loft conversion project for you. The majority of lofts in the United Kingdom are not made to support a floor, the joists may not be strong enough to hold the additional weight, which could result in sagging or the floor collapsing completing. If you are thinking of converting the loft into a room, you will need a structural floor to be installed with strong beams to support the floor and the finished room. Choosing not to hire a professional can create a dangerous space in your home and not a usable and safe room for you and your family to enjoy. You need someone with specialist knowledge of loft conversions to work on the project. Doing the loft conversion on your own without the right permission and certifications can make your home harder to sell in the future. A project without building regulations being met will make the space very dangerous and you won't get the return on your investment in the long run. If your loft conversion has not met building regulations and is not approved by a building inspector, potential buyers are not going to make an offer. Hiring a professional for your loft conversion will eliminate this risk ensuring you enjoy a good return on your investment should you decide to sell in the future.

Before you choose to go ahead with your loft conversion, you need to ensure you have enough head height for a loft conversion project. The head clearance must be more than 2.1 metres. Take careful note of your roof pitch, the higher the pitch angle, the more head heigh you will have in the centre of the room. Measure the internal measurements of the loft, which should be at least 5,500mm from side to side and 7,500mm from front to back to accommodate your new living space area.
