Loft Conversion Companies In UKPackage DealsThese companies are different from most builders in that all they do is convert lofts. They don’t take on any other type of work and will handle the whole project right from the initial design stage to the final fitting out of the electrical work and plumbing. As their service will also include handling the building regulations application this package deal approach can be very attractive to the homeowner who has no wish to project manage or to get involved with the nitty gritty of finding sub-contractors or dealing with the inevitable red tape.
1) Inspection Before anything else a surveyor will need to inspect the roof and loft space. The inspection will also include a full discussion with the householder to ascertain exactly what is required including of course the use of the new loft room, whether skylight windows or dormers are needed and the thousand and one other things the surveyor will need to know to accurately quote for the job. 2) Quotation Study this very carefully. The first thing to look for is to make sure that building regulations compliance is included in the price. If it isn’t don’t go any further and bin it. Move on to the next quote (always get at least three quotes from local builders so you can compare like for like). Make sure the quotation includes everything you mentioned to the surveyor and examine it closely to see what isn’t included. For example, if the final fix of electrics and plumbing isn’t included the extra work at the end of the project will add considerably to the cost. It is very important that you ensure the quote and eventual contract includes clauses that state you will only pay for work as it is completed. Never pay the full cost of a building project upfront to any loft conversions in UK company. 3) Drawing the plans Following a further survey to confirm all measurements the designer will draw the plans for submission to the local building control office. Make sure you sign off the final plans and that they reflect what you want to achieve. 4) Building regulations submission This doesn’t need to be a long process as long as planning permission isn’t involved. Most loft conversion companies UK will submit a building notice with the building regulations application allowing work to begin very quickly, sometimes within a few days. 5) The build The building company will (or should) provide you with a programme of works that they intend to follow. This may only be a rough guide as unforeseen circumstances can arise but nevertheless it will help to minimise disturbance to the household. 6) Completion Happy days! The job is finished and you are the proud owner of a sparkling new loft conversion. But remember that the project isn’t fully completed until the building control officers hands you that all important final completion certificate.
