Loft Conversion › Cost
There are a variety of reasons to expand your living space with a loft conversion. A loft conversion can not only create extra space but can also improve the value of your home. The first important factors are the scale of your project and the budget you have.
One of the most frequently asked questions when embarking on a loft conversion is the estimated cost. The cost of a loft conversion will vary from project to project and will of course depend on the scale of your personal project. The cost of a loft conversion can be affected by many factors; here is an overview of some of those factors.
Your Property
The type of property you live in can affect the cost of a conversion. For example if you live in a two bedroom house or a five bedroom house the price will differ. In terms of your actual property the following aspects should be taken into consideration:
- The size and type of your home.
- The roof type and condition.
- Any plumbing that may need to be relocated.
- Any complications such as chimneys or unusual layouts.
Further factors are the scale of the project and what you want to include in this. This will include the living space and end use of the room. These then lead to type of conversion, such as Velux Windows or Dormers. Flooring and joinery also add nice elegant touches to the end finish.
Once you have the end use in mind, you need to consider electrical work, lighting and power points. Moving and replacing boilers and heating systems must be reviewed, along with plumbing for any bath or shower rooms.
All loft conversions must conform to planning and building regulations. Fletcher and Son can offer this throughout this whole process.
