Loft Conversion?

A loft conversion can maximise the space in your property as well as increasing its re-sale value. A loft conversion that incorporates a bedroom and bathroom can add upto 20% to the value of your home. Why move when you can improve?

Remember to consider plumbing and heating, if you’re adding a 4th or 5th bedroom and only have one bathroom in your home by adding a second you will increase the value of your house further. If you're converting your loft into a bathroom, you will need to ensure that enough hot water can be provided by your boiler. The design of the bathroom will need to take into account where pipes and plumbing can be laid.
Costing anywhere between £12k – £40k, a loft conversion can be a big money maker also. Loft conversions can take approx 12 – 15 weeks and should be relatively undisruptive as the majority of work is all carried out on the roof and not to the inside of the house until a stair case is added.
There are 4 main types of loft conversion you can choose from which are, Dormer, Loft Window, Hip to Gable & Mansard, depending on the size of your property and the reason for the conversion will enable you to choose the correct type of conversion.
If you have decided that a loft conversion is what you require you now face the daunting task of finding a builder or loft converter you wish to carry out your vision. Searching your local directory or the internet will find you hundreds if not thousands of builders and loft converters who say they can do the work you require, now it all comes down to cost and trust. This is where the Association of Master Tradesmen can help.
AMTUK review every member making sure they have the correct experience, checking their previous work & references, and that they have valid Public Liability Insurance.
One phone call to AMTUK can mean the daunting task of finding a tradesperson with the skill and trust you require is easier than you think. AMTUK can provide up to 3 quotes ensuring you receive competitive quotes from professional tradesmen.
Rather than taking up your precious time trying to review each tradesman you have come across why not pick out new colours, furniture or simply put your feet up knowing that AMTUK have the exact same interests to heart as you do and will do all the hard work so that you don’t have to.
One half of Channel 4’s ‘Location Location Location’, Phil Spencer has spoken of being wary of adding solely for profit, advising the majority of house prices in the UK except London all carry a ceiling price and you won’t be able to achieve more.
