What to expect from your loft conversion service

Living in a big city like London means that buying a bigger home is not always an option. Properties are limited and their prices are sky-high. So what should one do if they need a bit of extra space in their house? The answer is an easy one - loft conversion with the help of Fantastic Services!

A loft conversion is the perfect solution for anyone looking to make their living space more functional or to raise their property's value before placing it for sale.

At the beginning of the service, we'll organise a meeting with an experienced architect. They will take a look at your property and help you decide on the best loft conversion option. After that, we'll take all of your requirements into consideration and transform them into a 3D visualisation of your loft. If you need any changes made to the project, we'll complete them expertly and with your new ideas in mind. Furthermore, we can assist you with the construction stage of your project, as well. Our partners work with experienced contractors, who can execute the building work professionally and to the highest standard. Before you know it, your property will be upgraded with a new room!

And do you know what the best part is? You don't have to lift a finger for anything, including planning permission documents and other types of potential paperwork.

The type of loft conversion project we can assist you with

Dormer loft conversion

If you are looking for a good way to add both more space and light to your property, a dormer loft conversion is a good option. This type of loft conversion includes creating a structure that will extend vertically from the roof. Depending on the type of roof you have, the modern dormer loft conversion can be flat, gabled, or hipped. And yes, a double dormer loft conversion is also possible if your property allows it.

L-shaped loft conversion

Another great way to expand your property is through an L-shaped loft conversion. The perfect solution for Victorian and Edwardian types of properties, this type of loft conversion will give you a significant amount of space, which you can use to create an additional bedroom, work office, or even gym.

Hip to gable loft conversion

Do you live in a property that has a hipped roof and are looking for a budget-friendly way to add more space? Then, hip to gable loft conversion is the right choice for you. A team of experienced builders can replace the roof slope with a straight wall, giving you extra room for any further home renovation projects.

Mansard loft conversion

If you want to REALLY expand your home, a mansard loft conversion solution in London is the right way to go. Suitable for most types of properties you see in the capital, the mansard loft conversion includes altering the entire shape of your roof. The result will be a huge, versatile space that will definitely add to your property's value.

Velux loft conversion

A great way to invite sunlight into your property is through Velux loft conversion. This option will transform your loft into a sunny room and spare a lot of the construction work that other types of conversions require. Besides being a more convenient solution, a Velux loft conversion is one of the most budget-friendly ways to make your roof space livable.

Do you need planning permission for your loft conversion in London?

When it comes to property construction projects, planning permission is one of the most important, yet, time-consuming things that you need to handle. Well, not when you have Fantastic Services at your side!

The professional architect, who will be appointed to your project will take care of every single documentation-related task, including completing the necessary research, contacting the relevant authorities, and, if your loft conversion requires it, prepare your planning permission application!

So, why not leave your loft conversion to the professionals and just enjoy the extra space at the end? Contact the team today and schedule a survey appointment!

Frequently asked questions

Can my loft be converted?
There are certain requirements that your property needs to meet for a loft conversion to be possible. For example, the minimum height, from the floor to the highest points of your loft, needs to be no less than 2.2 m. If your space doesn't fit the numbers, don't worry - a loft conversion still might be on the table. With that being said, it's best to have an architect visit your home and share their professional opinion on the matter.
How does the survey part of the service go?
On the day of the survey appointment, we'll send you an architect to your property at the agreed-upon time. The professional will inspect your loft, take all the necessary measurements, and talk through with you what can be done and, of course, what can't. After the survey is over, the architect will use all of this information to calculate the service quote, which will be then sent to you via email.
How much will my loft conversion service cost?
The price for your loft conversion will highly depend on the size of the project, types of materials, specific requests, etc. Of course, we'll do everything on our part to work within the budget you've given us. Also, you can add things or remove them during the design stages of the project, which means that nothing is set in stone until you say yes to the draft.
Will a loft conversion increase the value of my property?
Yes, it will - after all, you are adding more living space, which is also brand new. Besides increasing the value of your property, you'll also be saving quite a bit of money if you had to move houses. After all, selling your old home, buying a new one, moving all of your belongings, and dealing with piles of paperwork is very costly.
What is the best type of loft conversion?
The "best" type of loft conversion depends on your property's roof structure, your budget, and your desired amount of space and light. Our service offers various options: Dormer (extends vertically for space/light), L-shaped (significant space for Victorian/Edwardian properties), Hip to gable (adds space by replacing sloped roof with straight wall), Mansard (alters entire roof shape for huge space), and Velux (budget-friendly, roof windows for light). An architect's consultation helps determine the ideal option for your home.
Do you need a window in a loft conversion?
Yes, you typically need a window in a loft conversion, primarily for natural light, ventilation, and fire safety compliance. Building Regulations usually require an escape window, which must be a certain size and easily openable in case of fire. The type of window varies by conversion; Velux loft conversions, for example, involve installing roof windows that transform the loft into a sunny room.
Is it worth getting an architect for a loft conversion?
Yes, it is highly worth getting an ARB-registered architect for a loft conversion. They play a crucial role from the initial consultation to design and planning. An architect helps you decide on the best loft conversion option, takes all your requirements into consideration, transforms them into a 3D visualization, and can assist with planning permission documents. Their expertise ensures the project is safe, compliant, optimizes space, and meets the highest standards of design and functionality, ultimately adding to your property's value.
How much does it cost to have plans drawn up for a loft conversion?
The cost to have plans drawn up for a loft conversion is part of the initial design phase of the project. Our service includes organizing a meeting with an experienced architect who will transform your requirements into a 3D visualization of your loft. This cost is incorporated into the overall service quote provided after the initial survey and consultation, covering the architect's time for design, planning, and rendering.
How hard is it to get planning permission for a loft conversion?
Getting planning permission for a loft conversion can be complex and time-consuming, depending on the type of conversion and whether it falls within permitted development rights or requires full planning permission. Our service aims to simplify this. The professional architect appointed to your project will take care of every single documentation-related task, including necessary research, contacting relevant authorities, and preparing your planning permission application, ensuring a hassle-free process for you.
What is an illegal loft conversion?
An illegal loft conversion is one that has been carried out without the necessary planning permission (if required) or, more commonly, without obtaining Building Regulations approval. Building Regulations ensure the conversion is structurally safe, fire-safe, and adequately insulated, among other things. Carrying out an illegal conversion can lead to enforcement action from the local authority, which could include fines or orders to demolish the work, and it can significantly complicate selling your property.
How long does a loft conversion take?
The duration of a loft conversion typically depends on the type of conversion chosen, the complexity of the design, and external factors like weather conditions or material availability. A Velux loft conversion, for instance, requires less construction work and can be quicker. More extensive projects like Mansard or L-shaped conversions, which alter the entire roof shape or significantly expand space, naturally take longer, potentially several weeks or months. An exact time estimate is provided after a property survey.
Who to contact for loft conversion?
For a loft conversion, you should primarily contact experienced architects and reputable building contractors. Our service offers a streamlined process that begins with a phone consultation with an experienced ARB-registered architect who will help you decide on the best loft conversion option, handle planning permission documents, and provide 3D visualizations. We can also assist you with the construction stage through experienced contractors, providing a complete solution.
Can you help with other types of house extension projects?
Yes. You can also opt for professional house extension services. From front to wrap-around options, we can make any house extension project a reality. Contact Fantastic Services today and we’ll organise you a visit from an experienced architect in no time.
