You can pause the slide show at any time to concentrate on a particular loft conversion picture and read the description below by hovering the mouse over the main image.

The process of converting starts with the removal of all contents from the loft area. The scaffold is erected prior to the work commencing. This allows us to then strip the existing tiles from the roof ... exposing the roof rafters and enabling them to be cut away to expose the inside of the roof. A mobile crane arrives on site along with the R.S.J’s and ... lifts the steel beams into the roof. The Beams are carefully guided into position and rest onto the party wall.They are then positioned according to the architect’s plans ... Bricked into the party wall for restraint and ... welded together to form a structural base to build from. The new floor joists are then inserted into the webs of the beams, independently suspending the joists from the existing house. Solid bridging is then fixed between each joist. The front of the rear dormer is then erected ... the dormer joists are positioned and bolted to the existing roof rafters ... the window openings are formed and the roof decking is laid ready to have high performance torch-on roof felt laid to weather the dormer roof. The outside of the dormer is then wrapped in underslaters felt and tanalised roof battens are fixed to the face and sides ready for the dormer to be tile hung. Internally, the Velux™ roof windows are installed to the front pitch of the roof. After the plumbing and electrics have been run to their final positions, the loft conversion is insulated using Celotex™ boards to conform with current building regulations. Foil-backed plasterboard is then fixed to the external walls of the loft shell. Once this is done the internal walls dividing the loft into a bedroom and en-suite bathroom are built in position ... these are then tacked leaving the loft ready to be plastered. At this stage the stairwell is opened and the new loft staircase is installed. Finally, the loft is plastered ... the electrics are completed ... the electrics are completed ... and the plumbing and bathroom suite are finished. The finished Loft Conversion ...
