If you need more space in your home but have no room to extend, consider moving up! Loft conversions are the way to go as the modern solution for squeezing maximum room out of your house.
We’ve had plenty of experience at creating superbly habitable spaces under the roof for homeowners within a 30-mile radius of our base in Westbury, Wiltshire.
There are few attics, no matter how low pitched the roof is, that can’t be turned into an aesthetically attractive and functional extra floor on your house. We can design and construct a variety of loft conversion options to suit your property:
Simple and cost-effective, a flat or pitched dormer roof section is built out vertically from the roof slope with standard windows, adding headroom.
Typically built on the rear of a property, it has a horizontal roof with an almost vertical back wall, creating a vast amount of usable loft space.
Quick and easy to construct, this type of conversion involves fitting rooflight windows along the existing roofline to create a bright, airy and attractive room.
This involves connecting two dormer sections together in a distinctive L-shape, creating two generous-sized rooms to maximise the available space.
This type of conversion necessitates straightening a sloped “hipped” roof and extending the roofline to a vertical gable wall, adding more headroom and usable floor area.
If you’d like to know how your attic could be utilised for more living space, arrange for us to do a survey and advise you on what is possible.
If your property has a garage it’s a fair bet that it is under-utilised. Perhaps you use it for parking the car when you can be bothered to open the door – but more likely your garage is a repository for old furniture and junk. If it is a workshop, you probably prefer not to use it for most of the year because it is too cold to spend time in.
For most, a garage is wasted space – so why not incorporate it into your habitable home space? Converting a garage into a usable room is cheaper and quicker than building on a home extension, especially if it is an attached garage.
The team at D. Derrick Carpentry Ltd are dab hands at turning cold, dark concrete garages into warm, welcoming bright spaces – perfect for anything from a home office or extra bedroom to a playroom or granny annexe.
Most garage conversions fall under permitted development rights, so you won’t have the hassle of waiting for planning permission. We’ll do everything that is needed to convert your garage – including any construction or structural work, insulation, finishing and fitting out that is required.
