Conversion Construction Stages (For a photographic step by step guide to the construction stages of a loft conversion, click the link at the bottom of this page) Week 1: Scaffolding is erected on the front, rear and in some instances the side of your property. We then create an opening to the front of your roof to gain access to your loft. For the first 3 to 4 weeks our crew work from the scaffolding, in and out of your loft as we try to keep you as dust free as possible. The steels ( RSJs ) are then delivered, painted with the protective paint and then lifted into your loft with the use of a crane to create the suspended floor. Once the steels are in the loft, they are then secured into the main walls and cemented in place. The floor joists are then fitted into place and at This stage your local authority (council) is then Contacted to visit and inspect the works for approval. Once approved we then move on to the next stage. Week 2 & Week 3: On the second and third week the dormer is erected. Once erected, secured and made water tight your local authority is then contacted for the second inspection approval. Week 4 & Week 5: New roof tiles are hung on the dormer. A new opening is created in the ceiling to make room for the new staircase. All electrical and plumbing works completed where required. Insulate and plaster board the dormer, ready for plaster skim. Week 6 & Week 7: We are now in the position to skim plaster the new rooms and complete second fixings i.e skirting boards, light switches, power plugs, smoke detector system. Remove all rubbish from site. Once second fixings have been completed the local authority is contacted for the final inspection. The construction is in 10 stages, click here to begin. | ||||
