Touchstone Loft Conversion in Buckinghamshire

Why convert your Buckinghamshire loft?

Most lofts are underused and undervalued, being used as a junk or storage space at most. As one of the largest parts of your home it makes sense to adjust the space so that you can make full use of it, transforming your loft into bright and airy living accommodation.

Converting your loft is a much faster way of increasing internal space than adding ground floor extensions. With certain styles of loft conversions being completed in a number of weeks, whilst creating no major disruption to your home, they can be the fastest, cleanest and most effective way of gaining the extra living space you are after.

See the broad green views of Buckinghamshire from the comfort of your own home. Loft conversions offer the opportunity of enhanced views and greater use of natural light. You will also gain extra privacy as ground level passers-by will be unaware of the expansion of the top of your home.

Loft conversions are less intrusive and destructive than a ground floor extension. With no need to build outwards from scratch, dig up your garden to lay foundations or have builders walk through your home, you may become unaware of just how much building work is taking place upstairs. With the team being based on a different floor entirely, the original storeys remain untouched and able to function as normal.

Loft conversions do not increase your home’s footprint or use up valued garden or driveway space. By building into the space of the home that you already have, you are able to be more efficient and are free to achieve that additional living space without adding additional space to the footprint of the home.

Your loft conversion questions answered

Have a question about loft conversions? We’re happy to help. Read our answers to the questions that our customers frequently ask us.

How long does a loft conversion take?

Depending on the size and type, most loft conversions take around 12 weeks.

 

Will I need to move out during the project?

No – it’s safe to carry on living inside the property. We work from the scaffolding before the stairs go in. Any disruption you experience will mainly come from noise.

 

Where will you place our new staircase?

We will be able to fit your staircase around your existing layout and will find an option to suit you. If possible, we will try to fit your new staircase over the existing staircase so that it fits seamlessly within your property.

 

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

This depends on your location and type of property – all flats require planning, but if you live in a house that isn’t in a designated area, then permitted development is usually used and no planning is required. There are many other factors to take into account and one of our surveyors can advise further.

How much does a loft conversion cost?

Most cost between £30,000 and £50,000. This depends on the size and type – bigger and more complicated jobs take longer and therefore will cost more. See pricing information for further details.

 

What is a party wall agreement and do I need one for a loft conversion?

A party wall agreement (PWA) is required if you have a semi-detached or a terraced property and you are working within or near your neighbour’s boundary. We can advise when the surveyor visits.

 

Does a loft conversion add value to a home?

Yes – it will add from 20% to 30% upwards depending on the size, design and type.

 

How much head height do you need for a loft conversion?

If you have a clear head height of 2m then a loft conversion may be possible. Our surveyor will need to assess this to confirm.
