How Much Value Can a Loft Conversion in Guildford Add?
Doing a Guildford loft conversion is a great way to add value to your home, and save on the cost of moving. By creating the extra space, you'll increase the footprint of your property, thereby not only creating more area for you to live in, but also driving up the value.
On average, loft conversions in the Guildford area have been known to drive up the value of a home by up to 25%. The great thing about doing this type of extension, is that every penny you put into the project, you will likely see back as your home increases.
In contrast, moving home will see you pay for all sorts of items such as solicitors fees, stamp duty, removal companies etc. which you will not get back again.
So all in all, going through with a loft conversion is one of the best investments you can make in your Guildford property, and a great way to improve your living space in the process.

Am I Able to Convert My Loft?
When it comes to converting your loft, there are a variety of factors which will determine whether or not this is possible.
Most houses in Guildford will come with permission to develop the loft area but of course its always worth checking this with the council. Our team are able to help you with this, and already have a great working relationship with the local Guildford council.
Some of the important factors that determine whether or not you are able to convert your loft include:
Your Loft Head Space
The UK law requires that your loft ceiling height is a minimum of 2.3m to ensure sufficient head space in your new living area.
This is an important factor in calculating the possibility of converting your loft into a living space, and we are more than happy to investigate your options around this. The good news is that you are short of a few cm, you may be able to restructure the roof, or drop the flooring area slightly to create the 2.3m headspace.
Other Loft Elements:
Elements such as built in water tanks and chimneys can also play a part in determining if you are able to convert your loft. In most occasions, water tanks can be relocated, although this will drive the cost up. Chimney relocation could be a major undertaking, and this would need to be carefully thought through if required.
Local Area Rules:
If you live in a complex which has strict governance rules, you will need to check first if you are permitted to carry out a loft conversion. In most cases, this should be possible, but you may find you are only allowed to develop windows on your garden facing side, and not on the side of your property that faces outward to the complex area.
In most cases, we find that where there is a will there is a way. If you find you come across any of these potential barriers to building your loft conversion, please reach out to our team for assistance and we will see how we can help.

How Long Do Most Loft Conversions Take?
On average, we find that most loft conversions take between 6 - 8 weeks from start of building to completion.
Of course, it goes without saying that this duration will be determined by a number of factors, some out of yours and our control.
Elements such as holiday periods or bad weather usually can't be controlled and may cause slight delays to your loft build process.
Other factors such as 3rd party vendors (if you are using them) such as electricians, tilers etc can cause delays if their scheduling does not match our loft fitters.
We have our own in-house team of trade specialists and if you decide to use them you can be sure there will be no unnecessary delays as we project manage their entire workload.
Overall, we are confident that your Guildford loft conversion will be completed on the time we stipulate in the design and build plans, as we go out of our way to ensure that any time lost due to unforeseen circumstances is made up along the way.

What is the Cost of a Loft Conversion in Guildford?
As we've mentioned before, there are so many different variables that go into a typical loft conversion, and all of these play a role in determining the cost of the project.
While some home owners may chose for a simplistic, minimal solution, others will go for all the bells and whistles.
This may include lavish designs and layouts, with built-in wardrobes, walk-in closets, airing cupboards, high end bathroom fittings and anything else one can think of.
On average though, we've found that most loft conversions in the Guildford area cost between £40,000 - £55,000 although this can be as little as £25,000 and can range all the way up to £150,000 depending on the size, design and finishing that is included.
At the end of the day though, you can be sure that no matter what your build costs, it will add immense value to your existing home and you will almost certainly see a great return on your investment as the overall value of your home increases significantly.

Can I Live in My Home During the Build?
Most of our customers live in their home throughout the duration of their loft build. At the start of the project, our construction team will enter the loft area through the roof via the scaffolding erected outside your home. This will reduce the foot traffic in your home and reduce any inconvenience to you and your family.
Once the new stairs are installed, our team will seal up the roofing area and then use these to access the loft area. We will always be courteous and ensure that no damage or dirt is left in your home during this phase.
After building hundreds of loft conversions over the years, we've found almost all of our customers have remained living in their homes during the project, and there is almost certainly no reason why you wouldn't be able to as well.

Working With My Neighbours During the Build
According to The Part Wall Act 1996 you are required by UK law to notify your neighbours of any work you will be doing to the wall shared by them. This is especially common in semi-detached and terraced properties, and will require that your neighbours sign a document giving their consent.
