With space at a premium around London and the home counties, moving out simply isn’t an option for some people. If you have an unused loft space, why not convert it into the additional room that you and your family need.
Homeowners are often apprehensive when employing a builder. Many grievances we hear are that builders simply fail to show up to provide a quotation, and when they do, the quotes lack detail. The projects often overrun both in terms of time and budget, and the quality of finish is substandard.
Furthermore, there are often prolonged absences from the construction site.
KASE Construct offers an initial comprehensive quotation, and we ensure that we stick to both the project’s timeline and budget. In the event that any additional work is required, we provide a supplementary quote.
We make sure that the quality of the work is always the best, in every detail, and at all stages of the project.
We take great pride in our reputation and take our appointments with clients very seriously. We ensure punctuality and attentiveness during meetings to actively listen to their needs. Our top priority is the satisfaction of our clients.
We utilise an online project management software to oversee the work. We update it daily and share the link with our clients, allowing them to track each step of the project from start to finish.
Lofts are a popular choice right now. But which one is the right one for you? Let’s have a look at the different types.
Dormer Loft Conversion
A dormer loft conversion is a type of home renovation that involves extending the existing roof vertically to create additional living space within the attic. A dormer is a structural element that protrudes from the slope of a roof, creating additional headroom and vertical wall space. Dormer loft conversions are a popular option as they provide more usable floor space and increased natural light, making them ideal for bedrooms, bathrooms, or home offices.
Hip-to-Gable Loft Conversion
A Hip-to-Gable loft conversion involves altering the sloping side (or sides) of a property’s roof, usually found on a hip-end roof, to create more headroom and usable space. The term “Hip” refers to the sloping side of a roof, while “Gable” refers to the vertical end wall of a building. During a Hip-to-Gable conversion, the sloping side (or sides) of the roof is extended outwards to create a vertical gable wall. This creates additional space and headroom in the loft area.
Roof-Light Loft Conversion
A Roof-Light loft conversion involves adding windows to an existing loft space, typically within the roof’s slope. Roof-Light conversions are sometimes referred to as Velux conversions, named after a popular brand of roof windows. This type of loft conversion is generally considered to be the most straightforward and cost-effective option, as it does not require any significant changes to the roof’s shape or structure. Instead, the focus is on adding natural light to the existing space, creating a bright and airy living area suitable for a variety of purposes.
Mansard Loft Conversion
A Mansard loft conversion involves creating a more vertical roof structure with almost vertical tiled walls and a flat roof. This type of loft conversion requires significant changes to the existing roof, resulting in a significant increase in the living space. The Mansard design creates almost vertical walls, with windows on the front and back sides of the roof. The windows are typically dormer windows that provide natural light and ventilation, and the flat roof can be used as a roof terrace.
