Bungalow Loft Conversion by Loft Conversions Wandsworth
Bungalows are prime candidates for loft conversions, taking underused loft or attic space and adding the capacity for extra bedrooms, living space, or a bathroom. With the help of a loft conversion specialist, you can reach for the stars – or at least the sky – with a bungalow conversion. If you would like to manage a loft conversion yourself it still may be worth checking in with professionals like Loft Conversions Wandsworth for their expert knowledge.
Converting Your Bungalow Loft In Wandsworth
After a loft conversion your roof will have to cope with significantly different loadings so it's always worth working with professionals to make sure your conversion is safe. How much a bungalow loft conversion from Loft Conversions Wandsworth costs depends on the scale of the job, and also the style of conversion you are looking to add.
Before you can go ahead with your bungalow loft conversion, you will need to get comprehensive plans drawn up, either by an architect, or by an architectural technician, or surveyor, laying out the design for the project. With a bungalow loft conversion, one of the key things to consider is where the new staircase will begin downstairs - the place where it seems most sensible to install it, such as the hallway, may not be possible due to the structure of the building, while placing it in another room will take up space.
Building Regulations For Your Wandsworth, Greater London Loft Conversion
Loft conversions always need approval under building regulations (irrespective of whether they need planning permission). Bungalow conversions vary slightly from typical house loft conversions - because the new space will still only be at a first-floor level, the regulations are less strict, especially when it comes to elements like fire safety.
To reduce unwanted noise, the walls and floor around bedrooms will need to be insulated to reduce sound transmission. Unless your roof has a breathable felt you will need to leave a void above the insulation and ensure that you have effective roof ventilation to prevent the build-up of condensation.
