We understand that embarking on a loft conversion project can raise numerous questions and considerations. At Loftscape (Design & Build) Ltd, we believe in providing transparent and informative guidance throughout the entire process, starting from the initial inquiry stage.

To help address some of the more frequently asked questions, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list (but not difinitive) of responses. However, if you have any specific queries or concerns not covered here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We’re always glad to provide personalized assistance and ensure that all your questions are thoroughly answered.

1) How much will it cost?

As no two lofts are the same, the cost of a quality loft conversion can vary significantly (typically ranging from £30K to £80K). This is why we offer a free no obligation quotation – minus the hard sell.

2) Do you have any conversions l can go and see?

Yes of course. As Loftscape works mainly in the Gloucestershire area we have many very satisfied customers who have said they would be more than happy to show prospective customers their new lofts – and you won’t have far to travel!

3) Can my property be converted?

Most people who look up into their loft see the W shaped roof supports and assume it can’t be used as a room. But at Loftscape, we can remove these and construct a steel or timber frame which provides all the support your roof needs.

Also, height is a very important factor. Even if you think the head-height is too short, you should get it checked as Loftscapes can make the most of even small spaces with creative use of dormer windows and staircase positioning, even raising your roof!

4) Are you insured for any damage to the rest of the house you may cause?

Yes, Loftscape (Design & Build) Ltd is fully insured.

5) Do l need planning permission?

Not all loft conversions require planning permission, but if it is required for your home, Loftscape will indicate this to you at the initial meeting. If you then decide to continue to use Loftscape for your loft conversion, we will liaise with the Local Planning Authority on your behalf – the cost for Planning Permission will be noted within your quotation.

6) How long will it take?

As all loft conversions are different, the timescales can vary, but as an indication the average time on site is 7 to 12 weeks. 

7) Will it add value?

Yes it does. Quality loft conversions can add significant value to your property – ask any past customer or watch any home improvement show on TV.

Channel4’s Home Show, recently commented that a good loft conversion can add between 15% & 20% to your homes value, regardless of how much value you will get from using it.

8) Is it guaranteed?

Yes, all our work comes with a 10 year guarantee.

9) How do people pay for this work?

Customers use all types of finance to pay for their loft to be converted, e.g. loans, savings, mortgage advances, etc.

Whilst Loftscape do not offer any type of Finance Payment Arrangements, some of their customers have sought advice from Gary Lewis, a Financial Advisor at ACG Mortgage & Protection on 01453 521632.

10) Do you clean up at night?

Yes, Loftscape always clean up the loft space dust etc, they have created in your home at the end of each day.
