A loft conversion is the process of transforming an empty attic space into a functional room, typically used as either living accommodation or storage space.
Loft conversions are one of the most popular forms of home improvements as a result of their numerous perceived benefits. The installation of a loft conversion is a complicated process but at Chichester Carpentry we aim to make that progress simple and can complete most projects between 6 – 8 weeks.
Velux and rooflight conversions are the same, This type of conversion is generally very cost effective and does not normally need planning permission. Velux windows are installed to fit flush with the line of the roof and leave the existing roof structure untouched.
As they do not require extensive alterations to the roof this option helps keep the cost of the conversion down. As the loft is not extended beyond the original roof line planning permission is not normally required.
