Loft Conversion

15 Aug 2019

Brief:
The client approached us to see if we could do a loft conversion in their 20-year-old home. Due to the age of the property the roof is trussed, which can make loft conversions difficult and time consuming.
Working with our engineers we swiftly found a successful solution by installing a steel framework, which opened the space significantly. To make room for a fantastic second floor living space to include large bed, en-suite and walk in wardrobes.

Key Aspects:
Oak staircase
Walk in wardrobes
Master bedroom
Modern en-suite

House Renovation

Once the final plan had been decided we supplied a fixed cost for the complete project.
