Bungalow Loft Conversion by Loft Conversions Nottingham
Bungalows are prime candidates for loft conversions, taking underused loft or attic space and adding the capacity for extra bedrooms, living space, or a bathroom. Bungalows, especially those built in the mid-twentieth century, often have steep roof pitches that give a lot of scope for loft conversions, but can also lack the necessary load bearing walls, as the building was not initially designed to have the weight of an extra floor. Loft Conversions Nottingham can tell you everything you need to know about loft conversion design considerations, costing, planning and building regulations.
Converting Your Bungalow Loft In Nottingham
Any bath or shower room that is part of a loft conversion will also need to be fitted with an extractor fan to improve ventilation. The standard of fixtures and fittings in the loft will have a large impact on the cost of the project - for example, if you are simply planning to use the space as a large bedroom, it will be cheaper than if you are putting a bathroom in the space, where you will need to purchase the suite, which can cost several thousand pounds.
Before you can go ahead with your bungalow loft conversion, you will need to get comprehensive plans drawn up, either by an architect, or by an architectural technician, or surveyor, laying out the design for the project. When converting your loft you will need to ensure you have mains powered, interlinked smoke detectors in the hall and/or landing areas of every floor.
Building Regulations For Your Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Loft Conversion
Loft conversions always need approval under building regulations (irrespective of whether they need planning permission). Depending on the size of the conversion, and other factors such as its impact on the street scene and whether or not your home is in a conservation area, planning permission may be required.
To reduce unwanted noise, the walls and floor around bedrooms will need to be insulated to reduce sound transmission. Roof insulation is an important factor when it comes to the loft conversion of a bungalow.
