With its close proximity to the country’s capital, Beckenham is one of the most sought-after locations to invest in within the South East of England. With its nine railways stations, all within short commuting distance into central London, property within the Beckenham area is understandably in high demand. This means that property prices are well above the national average, making it difficult for those who wish to upsize their accommodation size to stay within the local Beckenham area.
If you are searching for loft conversion companies in Beckenham, you are almost certainly considering ways in which you can stay in your own home, whilst achieving a larger living area. If you’ve ever had to endure the trying experience of selling your home in order to move to a larger one, you will know that it can actually be more hassle than it’s worth. The combination of solicitor’s fees, stamp duty and general moving costs, buying a new, larger property may be out of reach for most families. Luckily, more often than not, existing properties in the Beckenham area have the potential to be extended, even if the footprint of the existing house won’t allow for a traditional extension into the garden or the driveway. The loft is often a lost space within the home. By converting unused loft space by re-purposing the junk storage space above your top floor, you will not only get the chance to have a good clear out of everything you’ve been hoarding for years – you could also create a surprising amount of space to add to your existing living area through a loft conversion.
A loft conversion is a cost-effective way to create the living area that you crave for your growing family. Whether it is to create an extra bedroom, (or two) a bathroom or even an excellent office workspace, a loft conversion can be a great way to create your dream home without ever having to move. With minimal inconvenience, the initial outlay of the loft conversion can almost immediately be offset against the instant boost in equity that the additional square footage will give to the value of your property. In order to make the most of what your property has to offer in terms of additional living space in the loft area, it is vital that you consult with reputable loft conversion companies in Beckenham in order to achieve the highest quality finish possible, completed by skilled professionals with a proven track record in creating safe, clean loft conversions that will stand the test of time.

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. Whilst there are many considerations to take into account, using a reputable company like OR Lofts to create your bespoke extended living area will take the stress out of your loft conversion Beckenham.
