We're looking into this ourselves right now but London quotes are through the roof. I'd prefer wood over plastic on the side of the house and some other colour, not black. Maybe dark green. The roof tiles don't give me enough 1930s "Taylor Whimpey" vibes. The spindle discrepancy would irritate me I must admit. I love the stair window idea; it could have had a touch of stained glass in keeping with the period. Reflective mosaic bathroom tiles should be illegal imo. These are all matters of preference of course. I love almost everything else. The layout is great, it's bright and airy, very meticulously finished with clever storage options. I'd like to see what was sacrificed for the new staircase. Also, the full cost from pp admin, structural engineering, to the construction itself...all in? Wonderfully informative video. Much appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏾

Incredible, but how much did it cost?

[Chris-vxmc]

I want to tell you that your video is very useful and educational . Thanks from my heart. 🙏🙏

Would be good to know how much the conversion costs all in

[MultiBigbird]

This is amazing. It's so big and roomy.

Is it mandatory to get freeholders consent for loft conversion? I only got address of freeholder.

Can I ask how many square meters the floor space is in the finished loft conversion? Thinking of having my loft done, the total floor space is 38.5 square meters, (7m x 5.5m) but obviously half of that will have a sloping ceiling.

Hi what company is this I want my loft done please

[seanharris]

Looks the business, can I ask which area the contractor works. I reside on the Wirral and am after the exact same.

[robertcatterall]

Unreal. Just as a matter of interest, how much did that actually cost the client?

The water sitting on the top will cause issues - it will reduce the life of the roof.

[robertgoh]

The loft stairs don't cut across the existing landing window.

Those squared-off roofs look hideous! A far better compromise is a side and rear dormer. Great clear video! The skirting could have been installed more accurately, far too many random gaps between it and the floor. In order to get moldings installed accurately, joinery standards need to be deployed. Either the pieces were bowed or the floor was not straight.

Have you got a website or email address? I am very serious about getting my loft done please. Thanks

[onefortheroad]

Cut that white silicone out and use grey

[rashidsheikh]

Do you know what most professionals in construction call loft conversions? Rabbit hutches 😂 they are the most unsightly and expensive mistake you could ever do to your property, unless you live in a shoebox do not even contemplate a loft conversion. I am a registered structural engineer and I part own my own roofing company in Southwest London. Personally for me and I think many roofing companies, loft conversions (despite the price) do not give a great yield to either the Roofer or the prospective owner! They are also not cheap to build with most starting from £50, 000 upwards. I think you would be better off having a complete roof overhaul rather than getting a shoebox stuck on the side of your roof, that will start leaking within 5 to 10 years, despite all the guarantees! But I suppose The biggest reason I hate loft conversions apart from the small return, is I can do several roof overalls in the time it takes to sort out one loft conversion what with planning permission and finding a client that doesn’t argue about every single detail on the drawings! Roofers make way more money on complete roof overhauls than loft conversions! The property owner gets a great investment to in a new roof that will probably last out their lifetime, so be warned loft conversions will leak eventually no matter who builds it for you the roof wasn’t designed in the first place with a conversion in mind remember that when you start cutting into existing work you are just creating new problems!!!!🧐🤔😂
