New Build
What is included in your New Build Service?
Our New Build Service covers everything from initial consultation and design to construction and final handover. This includes site preparation, foundation work, structural construction, plumbing, electrical installations, and interior finishing.
How long does a new build project take?
The timeline varies depending on the project’s complexity and size. On average, a new build takes between 6 to 12 months from planning to completion.
Do you handle planning permissions and building regulations?
Yes, we assist with obtaining necessary planning permissions and ensuring compliance with all local building regulations.
Can I customize the design of my new home?
Absolutely! We work closely with you to tailor the design according to your preferences, budget, and lifestyle requirements.
How much does a new build cost?
Costs vary based on location, materials, size, and complexity. We provide a detailed quotation after an initial consultation and site assessment.
Do you provide financing options?
While we do not offer direct financing, we can recommend trusted financial institutions that specialize in home construction loans.
Loft Conversion
Can my loft be converted?
Yes. Many people who look up into their loft think they have no means of using it as a room because of all the ‘W’ shaped roof trusses that form the structure of the roof. We can remove these and construct steel or timber trusses which run the length of the loft and provide all the necessary support.
Is my loft too small to be converted?
In order to comply with building regulations, your loft has to be a minimum of 2.4m or 7’8″ at its highest point (i.e. the apex of the roof). Those measurements are taken from the top surface of the ceiling boards below to the felt at the very apex of the roof. With that in mind, we can make the most of even the smallest lofts with the imaginative use of dormer windows and staircase positioning.
How long does a loft conversion take?
For an average-sized home, we would normally be able to complete your loft conversion in an average of six to eight weeks from commencement of work, depending on the size and scope of works.
How much does a loft conversion cost?
The cost of a loft conversion varies significantly from project to project. We offer a free no-obligation estimation service for all customers, so you can get all your figures in order before committing to any works.
How will a loft conversion affect my home?
The Loft Room undertakes all conversions to cause as little disruption as possible to our clients. You will be able to remain living in the property throughout the conversion. Our staff are highly professional and experienced in working with domestic clients. We will leave your home in a habitable, clean, and safe condition throughout the process.
What is a Third Party Wall Agreement?
A Party Wall Agreement is an agreement between you and your neighbour(s), which protects both parties when works are being carried out on a party wall. A Party Wall Agreement is required if you live in a terraced or a semi-detached property and share an adjoining wall. Altitude Lofts will assist you in discussing these with your neighbour(s) prior to works commencing.
