Loft conversion Beckenham

Before you can go ahead with a loft conversion in Beckenham, there are several considerations that you may need to take into account. The first being how exactly you want to use the space that you are going to be creating. For example, is the additional space going to house a new bedroom, bathroom or is it just to allow a flexible extra room? Additionally, you will need to take into account the roof space that exists. Some loft extensions may use the space that already exists in the form of a velux conversion, whereas other spaces may require a dormer conversion whereby extra space will need to be added to make the space work better. This may well require planning permission depending on where you live in Beckenham. Luckily, with our expert knowledge and local expertise, OR Lofts should be able to advise you on what is possible and how best to proceed with the style of loft conversion required. The age of your property may also be something to take into account as there may be age-related issues such as rot that need to be dealt with to ensure that your new loft conversion is not just beautiful and functional, but also meets current health and safety regulations. This is where OR Loft’s experience as a reputable and trustworthy loft conversion company in Beckenham can help you – we will always ensure that the structure is safe and fit for purpose. Good ventilation and heating is key, as loft areas can be more exposed to the elements than other parts of the house, but a loft conversion done properly by a company like OR Lofts will ensure that this is not an issue. The new staircase up to your loft conversion may require some reconfiguration of your existing living area, but any good loft conversion company in Beckenham will show you all of the possible ways that this can work in your home to maximise living space and functionality. With any loft conversion, fire safety is one of the most important considerations and OR Lofts will work within current legislation to ensure that the space is as safe as possible and conforms to all fire regulations in terms of escape routes, fire resistant panels and smoke alarms.

In essence, if you are considering making your home larger, then a loft conversion is a fantastic, cost-effective option for maximising your living space.
