 Q:
Is my loft space suitable for conversion? |
| A:
Most spaces are easily converted. Have a quick
look around the loft - take care not to walk in between the
joists. For an ideal room, you need a minimum of 2.4m headroom
at the apex. |
| Q: My loft doesn't have 2.2m headroom - is a conversion out of the
question? |
| A:
Not at all. Even if you have less than 2.4m
headroom, a loft conversion may still be possible. Leave the
creative designing to the Loft Wizard team. |
| Q: What kind of windows can I
have? |
| A:
A range of window designs are available to suit
all room layouts. On our initial visit, our surveyor will
recommend the most appropriate design for your scheme. A full
range of roller, black-out and Venetian blinds are also
available in a choice of colours. |
| Q: How long will the work
take? |
| A:
Once work starts, most lofts can be completed
in less than 3 weeks. We will do out utmost to minimise any
disruption and our team will be dedicated to your conversion
until completion. |
| Q: Do I need Planning Permission for the
work? |
| A:
A scheme within the roof lines (i.e. Velux
windows) does not require planning consent although building
regulation approval will be needed. Loft Wizard will deal with
this on your behalf. A dormer conversion may require planning
permission and we will advise you of the requirements during
our initial visit. |
| Q: Will I need to arrange Building Regulation
approval? |
| A:
We will complete all necessary paperwork for
you and our quote will include the relevant fees under the
Building Regulation Act (2000) for both regulators and
architect. |
| Q:
How can I be sure of the quality of
your work? |
| A:
We can arrange for you to visit our completed
works so that you can see the quality of our work and of
course by speaking to the home-owner who can advise you how
our work was carried out. |
| Q:
Are you authorised to deal with the
new electrical regulations I have heard about? |
| A:
Yes - our electrical work is carried out under
Part P of the new Building Regulations (2005) |
| Q:
Do I get anything at the end of the
work to prove that the conversion was done to the right
standard? |
| A:
Yes - the building regulator will supply you
with a Completion Certificate which shows that all of our work
was carried out to current building regulations. It is
important that you keep this certificate in a safe place as it
maybe needed for any future sale of the property |
