The no-hassle way to extend floor space

Sometimes the best solution is the simplest. Loft conversions can achieve astonishing feats, and that applies to even the basic ones. Velux is the beloved roof windows we know and love, and they bring the transformation to your loft room. By fixing multiple Velux windows to your attic, you can bring in natural light and ventilation to create a viable living space. The structure of the roof does not get altered, and that means little invasive construction work. Velux loft conversions are ideal when you have just the right amount of space you need without having to extend. It is also quicker to convert and costs you very little. Compared to hip to gables, dormers, and mansards, this style of conversion is much simpler.

 

The two main roof window types used for a Velux loft are top hung and centre pivot. Top hung windows open from the top of the frame, while centre pivot ones spin in the frame. With the Velux Integra, you can open even the hard to reach windows, blinds, and shutters with a wall switch. These windows can be electric or solar-powered. And, if you install Velux Active, its smart sensors control the indoor climate by continuously monitoring temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. It also opens and closes the Velux window system via the sensor-based ventilation.

When it comes to legal requirements, these loft conversions almost always do not need any planning permission. However, like with every conversion type, listed buildings and conservation area homes need council approval. While room for exceeding building regulations is limited for Velux conversions, it is always safe to obtain a Lawful Development Certificate. Our experts will point out any regulation violations during design and pre-build phases.

For the perks, of course! When you decide to convert your loft the Velux style, you are adding more floor space to your home. Whether it is a master bedroom with en suite bathroom or just a bigger bathroom to indulge luxurious fancies, it offers only benefits.

  • A Velux conversion is suitable for any home that has an attic of 2.2.m head height with a pitched roof.
  • Due to lesser design additions, it can be a flexible space you can use for different purposes with time.
  • Although the effort is minimal, it still adds value to your home.
  • It can be a bedroom, a gym, a living room, or even a bathroom. The choice is yours.
  • The new addition can be a fun space for children as a bedroom, a reading room, or a playroom.
  • Due to the advanced technology and features of Velux windows such as inbuilt blinds, sensors, and automatic functionality, the room can feel quite modern. With Velux super sound insulation, you can shut out noisy neighbourhoods. It can reduce sound up to 50%, provide extra insulation, and the anti-dew coating on the outer glass reduces moisture accumulation.
  • Velux Cabrio can transform itself into a balcony when opened. The top half opens like a regular roof window.

As one of the most cost-effective conversion methods in the UK, the average cost usually ranges between £20,000 to £25,000.

There is no better time for converting your home than now, and we are here to help you every step of the way.

How we deliver projects

Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.

1. Design

This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.

2. Planning

At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.

3. Technical

Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.

4. Pre-build

90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.

5. Build

One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.

6. Handover

As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
