Step by Step |
 |
|
Week One |
- |
 |
Scaffolding is erected on the front, rear and in some instances the side of your property. |
- |
 |
For the first 3 to 4 weeks we work from the scaffolding, in and our of your loft keeping you as dust free as possible. |
- |
 |
The steels (RSJs) are then delivered and lifted into the loft with the aid of an electric hoist, enabling us to create the suspended floor. |
- |
 |
Once steels are in the loft, they are then secured into the main walls. |
- |
 |
The floor joists are then fitted into place and at this stage your Local Authority are contacted to visit and inspect the works for approval. |
- |
 |
Once approved we then moved onto the next stage. |
|
|
Weeks Two - Three |
- |
 |
On the second and third week the dormer is erected. |
- |
 |
Once erected, secured and made water tight your Local Authority is then contacted for inspection approval. |
|
|
Weeks Four - Five |
- |
 |
The loft is completely insulated according to the current building regulation requirements. |
- |
 |
New roof tiles are hung on the dormer. |
- |
 |
A new opening is created in the ceiling to make room for the new staircase. |
- |
 |
First fix electrical and plumbing works (according to current building regulations). |
- |
 |
Plaster board the dormer, ready for plaster skin. |
|
|
Weeks Six - Seven |
- |
 |
We are now in the position to skim plaster the new rooms and complete second fixing, i.e. doors, light switches, sockets, etc. |
- |
 |
Remove all rubbish from site. |
- |
 |
Once a second fixing has been completed the Local Authority is contacted for final inspection and to issue the Completion Certificate. |
|
|
NB: This is a guideline of timescale as every loft conversion is unique. |
