How much for a 'quick' loft conversion?

[PanicPants]

Anyone know? Or had any experience?

We don't want any structural changes, no staircases, windowa etc. But would obviously need:
floorboards
Electricity
Some sort of partition walling to separate from rest of attic
Fold down loft ladder thing

We want a space for a study for dp and myself without taking up the spare bedroom.

Oh come on, have a break from the church school and slapping thread and engage in the exciting topic of loft conversions

Bump for the 'daytime, so more likely to do DIY' crowd!

30K (includes bathroom) in London

oops and staircase, dormas etc

so I have no idea and didn't read your OP properly

Twig launches straight in .... again

I'd allow 5K

but you would need structural engineers etc .. and planning permission (probably)

25 k in somerset for proper job

what you are actually proposing wouldn't be allowed - you need a fixed staircase to comply with building regs, and all sorts of other stuff

Wow! Ok, had thought it'd be a 2 minute job, but obviosuly not. Still, thanks everyone you've given me something to think about

I really want a loft conversion but I don't think there's enough height and I would have no idea where to position the stairs on the first floor.

We've got the height, and your probably right about the heat and the window. I'll get in touch with the local council and see what I'm allowed, and not allowed to do.

Thanks everyone.

we boarded our old loft, and just used stuff from Focus. V easy to do.

In ti shouse there's a loft conversion, and the staircase goes up ove the bathroom, whichi n turn provides some excellent understair storage. We have 2 rooms, one of which has built in wardrobes and drawers as well as under eaves storage. the other one just has shelves under the eaves. But we do have a garage to store larger crap in!

I think you often just need building regs.

thanks, anniemac. I think like you I'd have togive up some bedroom space but our bedroom is fairly small already. I think I'll have to find some genius planner or architect to some up with a solution. The builder who did our new extension couldn't think what to do but did admit it wasn't his speciality.
Are architects really, really expensive?

Get a specialist loft conversion company (or several) in to quote. Costs nothing and they see all sorts of houses and know instantly how to make the space work.

If you just want a hobby room and don't want it to be considered a bedroom when you come to sell you could put up a stud wall,floor it,plaster and install electrics which would cost about 1500 depending on where you live HTH
