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.
