How To Do A Loft Conversion by Loft Conversions Hertfordshire

Depending on the roof structure of your property, a loft conversion is a straightforward way to enhance your property. Why not talk to the team at Loft Conversions Hertfordshire about how to build a loft conversion.

Ensuring A Safe Working Enviroment For Loft Conversions Hertfordshire To Work In

Don't forget that any new habitable rooms in your loft will need to be ventilated.

Your new floor needs soundproofing, and this is easily achieved by laying a mineral fibre quilt between the joists. Introducing timber studwork with mineral fibre insulation will allow Loft Conversions Hertfordshire to achieve excellent insulation levels and it can be covered with sound-rated plasterboard.

Altering Roof Structures In Hertfordshire

You don't usually need to make a lot of structural alterations to accommodate roof light or skylight windows in your new loft conversion, which makes them relatively easy for Loft Conversions Hertfordshire to fit. Some options can be expensive as they require the complex removal and rebuild of the existing roof.

The new floor in your home will need at least 30 minutes of fire-protection, which could mean re-plastering the ceilings below it and the loft room will have to be separated by a fire door, either at the top or bottom of the new stairs. As part of the fire safety upgrade for your loft conversion your stairways should lead to a hall and an external door.

Working Under The Permitted Development Rights In Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

Did you know that you can extend your roof space by up to 50m3 (or 40 m3 for terraced housing) under permitted development rights. Loft Conversions Hertfordshire can tell you that where you extend or alter your roof space and it exceeds specified limits and conditions permission is required.
