  • LOFT CONVERSION Timelapse
    We recently had a loft conversion done this was to enable us to have a dedicated studio to make our videos in.
    The loft conversion consisted of 1 room and 1 family bathroom.
    The Loft Cost approximately £44K this does not include the bathroom fixtures tiles and flooring.
    Just to note this build was NOT done by mianbuilders they have a link on their website but its 100% not them.
    Here is a Full Tour 1 Year On:

    I did this to my attic , converted it to a loft. I’m so glad I did. I not only gained a bunch of space; I actually lowered my energy bills cause I increased my home r-value and overall energy efficiency. I use my space for a play area and massive storage entertainment room with two massive solar velux skylights. Again sooo glad we did, the extra room allows my wife and I to keep our kids mess and toys contained to this huge room upstairs that we don’t have to rush to clean up when we have guests. Converting the attic to a finished loft untimely increased my household earnings cause now we don’t have to rush to move to increase our space. We can keep our monthly expenses the same as far as cash flows as our earnings increase. When we sale, we’ll gain the benefits of the home improvements.
    I would strongly recommend everyone consider this sort of home upgrade if your planning to live at your residence for 5+ years and before solar panels IMO.

    Thanks for sharing, it is interesting to see. One of the things that has interested me recently is thermal transfer through materials. I see they used insulation in between the wood but I do wonder how much cold travels through the wood and steel beams. I'm not expert, just interested as I've been reading about it. The end results were good. I wasn't struck on how the finished off the roof edges though. Thanks

    Brilliant video - but one bad thing - no insulation between stud partition. Really, really poor sound insulation then for the owner, even though it is a bathroom. I use the rockwool slabs - they're bloody great (use them also for gyproc sound insulating walls to massively good effect). Tiling has zero sound insulating properties also :-)
    Otherwise top job :-)

    In my opinion there are some things that have not been done up to the standard. Like the bathroom ply etc. But overall looks really good.
    Unfortunately in a year time tiles will need to be done again as probably they won't stick to the walls for long.

    having fallen to this blunder myself you may want to keep an eye on the bathroom wall.

      Geek Street the wires running across the bathroom wall near the door should not of run across the middle. They should of been within 150mm of the wall and ceiling or directly in line with the light switch and then in the corner. As a new installation the new wiring should be protected by an RCD so from a safety point of view, it shouldn’t be a problem. Like I said the end results were good though

    Rather odd way to do the roofing, first you sort of prime the OSB, than a thin sheet is laid into that primer, which is eventually blackened after the capping rooftiles have been mounted. Definitely would choose another method.
    Same for the shower/bathroom, where is the dispersion primer? In the corner of the shower the plywood is immediately covered in a grey elastic product, which to my knowledge needs a primer before it is applied. On the opposite the tiles are glued on the plywood without visible dispersion primer. Here too I would definitely choose another method.
    Overall impression; it appears as like a contractor is doing too much on this job.

      All details in the description, but just for reference from what I've heard for a builder it generally costs them around 15 - 20K in materials, if the house is covered in scaffolding that's another 4-5K. Everything is else is labour costs and profits. Prices also depend on location, but that price is pretty cheap.

    I was a bit sad that in such a nice old house you went with sheetrock all around. I definitely wouldve kept half that brick wall. Wouldve made the room. Im bitching because this kind of job musta cost a bloody fortune and for anything going to the effort of putting a new roof on, you might as well go with panelling and try to keep it classy. I like the mirror in the bathroom but again, the bathroom mod grey isnt for me. A 9/10 for video work but a 4/10 for the overall job (considering what would be the price of a house). This is the kind of job where the old lady my bet had no feedback or preferences other than "what do you think we can do ?".

So when you ask would it not make the room cold I would say , as I am Canadian, there are varying degrees of cold ;) . I just absolutely love brick or stone. If I was in Canada I wouldve framed it as they did then put facebrick/face stone on the ends. It really cozies it up. Perhaps even put in a natural gas or fake fireplace in the corner. The charm in English homes IS the brick. Keep it and enjoy it. Don't paint over it and cover it up like its a part of the peasantry ! he he
