I Have A Low Ridge

All the news you hear on low ridge heights for attic conversions make loft conversions impossible. We have done loft conversions in various regions of London where we have started with a height of around two metres and we have still made a loft conversion without lowering the ceiling. Most of the talk is that a minimum height is required of 2.4m for a loft conversion to be possible. Touchstone Lofts are low ridge loft conversion specialists. We can convert your loft space even if other loft conversion specialists say the loft cannot be converted due to a low ridge height. If builders or loft conversion companies have turned you down, contact us today and we can provide you with a free no obligation feasibility study. Our consultant will visit and carry out a full survey and show you how we can help you.

Drawings are required for the purpose of presenting your design scheme to the planning department and for us to build your loft conversion. If your loft is a permitted development, a Certificate Of Lawful Development can be obtained from the planning department to confirm the legality of your project. If your attic conversion requires planning permission the drawings will be required too. Buildings regulations will be required and will confirm that the works are done to building regulation standards. Touchstone can do all the drawings, planning permission, structural calculations and building regulations. We are a one stop shop for all your loft conversion needs.

The loft conversion works happen directly over your head and the roof is opened up so this is a common question that is fully understandable. Apart from if the ceiling is being lowered, all our customers continue to reside in the property. There are some inconveniences, which include the following. Noise whilst the floor construction takes place, a scaffold is erected and some materials may be in the garden, a skip on the drive. The scaffold directly to the roof ensures the entry of materials on the whole is via this route. There is a day of intervention into the home when the staircase is installed. This is all done in a day or two days at worst. Once the structure has been built and the plastering has been done, which is completed in a day or two at most, the only thing left is to install electrics, plumbing and fittings.
