Most Frequently Asked Questions about Loft Conversions
.png)
Is My Loft Suitable For A Conversion in Hertfordshire?
There is a combination of criteria that will help you assess the suitability of your loft conversion. Look out for any similar houses in your area that appear to have undergone a conversion. A minimum height of 2.2m is required, however, you will ideally have a measurement of 2.2m -2.4m for a traditional roof and 2.4 m- 2.6 m for a modern trussed roof. If you do not have the head height, there are ways around the problem but these can be complex and expensive. You will need to consider other features in the loft that could pose an issue, for example, a chimney stack in the loft or an existing water tank system that will be required to be removed and sealed. You have to check your loft for access, either in the form of an open stairway, large window, or skylight. Most lofts do not have easy access and we will install these as part of the loft conversion.
Will a Loft Conversion increase the value of my property in Hertfordshire?
According to recent research undertaken by Nationwide, a loft conversion that adds a double bedroom and a bathroom could add as much as 22% + to the value of a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house. A loft conversion is a fantastic way of increasing the value of your house on the property market. For example, if you currently own a two-bedroom house worth £400,000 and are looking at ways to add value before you can sell a loft conversion can certainly add as much as £100,000 to the value of your property. All in all, we believe loft conversions in Hertfordshire are worth the investment as you are more likely to get a lot more from a loft conversion then what you put in.
What is the Realistic Budget for a Loft Conversion in Hertfordshire?
Once you know that your loft is suitable for a conversion, you can start looking for ideas on how to properly use your new space. You will also need to allocate a realistic budget for the project to cover everything. Always remember to assign a contingency, as within construction there is always a surprise or two on the way. The overall cost of the loft conversion will depend on the size, complexity, and style of your loft conversion. Most Velux loft conversions start from £25,000 to £40,000, Terraced rear dormer conversions start from £45,000 to £55,000 and a hip-to-gable loft conversion ranges from £50,000 to £60,000. When allocating your budget, keep a check on the average prices for the essentials such as bathroom fixtures, fittings, flooring, painting, etc.
Do I need Planning Permission for a Loft Conversion in Hertfordshire?
You will not always require planning permission for a Loft Conversion, in many cases, the loft conversion will fall under permitted development rights. The design of your loft has to comply with several specified parameters, the most important of which include:
-The Loft conversion must not exceed the current height of the existing roof under Permitted development rights.
-It must not add more than 40 cubic meters of volume for terraced houses and 50 cubic meters for all other property types.
-The property must not have already utilised its Permitted Development rights to add storey
-Balconies and Verandas with raised platforms are not allowed under Permitted Development, only Juliet Balconies are allowed.
How Long does a Loft Conversion Take?
The length of a Loft Conversion project in Hertfordshire depends on the complexity of the design, the type of loft required, and whether any structural reinforcements are needed. On average, a loft conversion project can be completed in between 6 to 10 weeks, with around eight weeks being the average completion time.
Will a Loft Conversion Disrupt your Home Life in Hertfordshire?
Sometimes when clients are considering converting their loft they express concerns about how it will affect their daily routines. However, it's important to understand that this is a misunderstanding. In reality, most loft conversions can be completed within a timeframe of 6 to 7 weeks. During this period the primary focus of the work is within the loft area itself meaning that your use of hallways and bedrooms should remain undisturbed until the new space is ready for decorating.
Types of Loft Conversions in Hertfordshire
We specialise in the following types of Loft Conversions in Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas:
1
Dormer Loft Conversions
A Hip To Gable Loft Conversion adds considerable amount of head height to the loft, as well as habitable floor space. The roof is stripped back to the top of the hip, the wall built into a gable, and extending the ridge to meet the gable.

Velux Loft Conversions
A Velux Loft Conversion is also known as Rooflight loft conversion. The roof line is untouched as the Velux windows are fitted flushed to the existing roof line. Velux loft conversion works perfects for properties that already have good headroom.

Mansard Loft Conversions
A Mansard Loft Conversion is named after a French architect Francois Mansard. This conversion has a flat roof to the rear of the property with back wall sloping inwards at an angle of 72 degrees. Mansard loft conversion normally requires planning permission.
5
L Shaped Loft Conversions
The L-shaped dormer conversion is most popular with mid-terraced period properties and gives maximum space.
By going for a L-shaped conversion one can comfortably add 2 bedrooms and a Bathroom. The floor layout has endless options.
6
Pitched Loft Conversions
Pitched Roof Dormer conversions are popular if you live in a conservation area. They are more attractive to look at in comparison to a full width dormer. If you want to install a pitched roof dormer to the rear of your property, you will not require planning permission as it falls under permitted development.
