What this work involves
Measure clear heights and draw the sloping roof. A room can look large on plan while much of it is difficult to use. Include the stairs, daylight and installations in one design.
- Headroom, stairs and circulation
- Roof windows or dormer
- Floor, partitions and sound control
- Insulation, ventilation and heating
- Storage beneath sloping roofs
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Include adequate bespoke measurement stages in the renovation plan.
Decide this before construction
Approve material combinations and the sample detail before production. Complete work affecting dimensions before ordering final bespoke components.
Which trade-off matters?
A minimal joint or concealed fixing may need extra coordination. Compare the intended appearance with tolerances, maintenance and replaceability before treating a detail as straightforward.
Compare the complete intervention
Identify samples, measurement and coordination separately in the budget. Craftsmanship involves preparation and accurately fitted transitions as well as the material itself.
Cost factors for this service
Existing roof and floor condition, daylight openings and any bathroom determine the scale of work.
Bring this to the discussion
Loft dimensions, heights, roof and stair photographs, and intended use.
Questions about the work
Can I add a bathroom in the loft?
Floor loading, pipe routes, drainage and ventilation need assessment. Include this wish early, even if fittings are chosen later.
