Loft conversions – helping you make the most of your home in Windsor

Loft conversions can be incredibly useful – here are some of the main reasons why.

Additional space.
If you have a growing family, or you simply could benefit from some more usable space, a loft conversion could definitely be the answer.

No need to move.
You can stay exactly where you are in Windsor whilst still benefitting from more space. It’s a cheaper option than moving, what with removal costs, estate agents’ commission and stamp duty.

A higher value home.
If you do decide to move in future, a loft conversion can push the price of your house up by 20%.

Better living.
You can use your new space in any way you like to improve your way of life, be it a home office, a bedroom, a bathroom, a home cinema, or something else entirely!

A low pitch roof doesn’t need to be a problem

We work with houses and maisonettes of all shapes and sizes, meaning we’re highly experienced in finding solutions. If you’re concerned about having a low pitch roof, talk to us. We have even found solutions where other loft conversion companies have said there is no way they can help. Our solutions are simple too, and won’t involve lowering the floor or raising the ridge height, both of which are complex processes. We even created a loft room where the original ridge height was only 2m. Find out more – call 0800 881 8194.

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.

How we can achieve a conversion like this for your home

This loft conversion was a challenging one in terms of planning as the roof had already been extended.  The surveyor and architect worked out a scheme that the customer was happy with and planning permission was submitted.

Touchstone Lofts have an excellent track record when it comes to gaining planning permission and permitted developments, in fact 98% are granted.  If you have a loft space, Touchstone Lofts can offer planning advice related to the loft conversion at your property.

Planning permission was granted for three pitched roof dormers.

The structural engineer drew up the plans for the structure of the loft conversion.  The home had been extensively extended before, so the engineer was careful to understand the structures in detail.

Headroom was maximised by lowering the steels into the floor and raising the ridge height of the dormers as much as possible within the planning permission attained.

We were also very careful with the insulation we used.  We wanted to maximise the room head height and therefore detailed calculations with the supplier and building control were taken to install the correct type.

The final loft conversion was fabulous from the inside - lots of natural light flooded in the bedroom, the landing and over the stairs. The bathroom which led off the stairs was clean and bright.  Rooflight loft conversion fitted to the front elevation added to the natural light flowing into the loft.

The clients were over the moon with the added space and the pitched roof dormers improved the look of the property.
