Hey Dan, would you consider a loft conversion in Colchester? Not sure if that's too far out for you.

was this build within the 50 cubic meters PD?
@djmooreloftconversionspeci458Күн бұрын
Yes in most cases a hip to gable can be completed under pd. issue normally comes if the property has extensions already

Can you tell me thebprice it cost for that size loft? Mine is about that size and we are on a tight budget as its for my autistic son as ive been told we either need to get him his own room so hes not sharing or he cant stay with us because he's put his brither in hospital several times now from sharing a room.
@MsDragonfire19927 күн бұрын
Im ment to be having a loft conversion and my loft is like this one and the builders are telling me dont need steel? But its been 3 months now and ive not even so much as seen the plans and they said if we did need steel beams the roof would need to be removed to get them in whicb would be an extra £15,000! I dont have that! I wont say what they quoted me but we are on a very tight budget as its to make an extra room so my autistic son has his own room and its took me saving up for the last 15 years just to get this together as we were originally saving for a deposit to buy a house. Thats impossible now but the housing associating we rent from said so long as all building regulations are met and the work is passed by one of their inspectors we have permission to have the work done.

Hi Dan I had a question was there an option to do a winder staircase at the bottom and top of the new staircase to avoid having to cut into the box room of the 1930s home? great work as ever I’m a long term follower of your channel and love your work! Cheers!
@djmooreloftconversionspeci45811 күн бұрын
You could as a winder at the top but wouldn’t help. As it’s the high going down the existing in most cases. That why you need to move the wall to gain the space under the stairs on existing.

Nice job!! Who do you use for your misting systems. I'm doing some work in my loft (DIY) and wanting to maintain open plan as possible on all floors, so will need a mist system installed. There are few out there but also some horror stories with some, so hard to know who to trust. Recommendations from good trades people is always a good starting point .

Amazing conversion. I had my house converted to provide 2 large bedrooms and a bathroom in the loft space using velux windows. If i was doing it again I would go for a dormer on the back instead to make the rooms more practical.

Battling with new velux. Lots of leaks. Builders installed a flashing kit EDW SK10 2000 (red line) with a blue line GGL SK10 3070. Is this a mismatch given the different colours? Would be so grateful for any advice
