- Small loft transformed in 4 days by BUILD IT WITH ROB, barley enough space to kneel up straight this loft is tiny definitely not big enough to fully convert into a bed room. Not a diy job bring in the professionals loft conversion specialists this was a challenging job just due to size constraints and difficulty getting materials into loft space.

Do you have a web site or contact number as we are looking for a loft conversion
Good morning thanks for watching please check out eco-lofts.co.uk/ and ecotrus.com/
I think the most impressive part is getting someone to spend all that money on a loft they can't stand up in. Looks amazing from your knees
😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly what I thought
My loft you can stand up in but just barely, but it’s a huge loft so we all are fine with it.
Great point mate
Kids play area possibly? Luxury storage area? Gaming area? What ever it is good job 👍
hi i noticed the guys where doing something to the joists, where they sistering the joists?
The brick at the table would have been an awesome accent to that room.
Hohoho.. i’m impressed…
Oh you poor guys on your knees all day. Ouch. Hard work and well done
Thank you Nikki appreciate that
Wonder about costs of that renovation. I have same low attic but little longer.
I love your video . Does not seem to be much headroom though
Good morning Alison
Thanks for watching appreciate it. There were very little head room on this job it was only a storage area but we couldn’t stand up
Hello Rob. I m going to watch all your videos they help you see how it's done as my head boggles to what happens first!??!¥€?. I got planning permission for one ( ie didn't need it ) as under 50cu m but this was over 3yrs ago. Hip to gable, 30sq m with half side becoming dormer. TW13 rented out. If one wants to do something what comes first extension or loft conversion? Is this your company or franchise?
Hello Alison
I work for the company it’s a family run business we keep everything in house as much as possible, no franchise no subcontractors we don’t know, only certified installers we trained.
Regarding extension I would convert loft first as u would need scaffolding up and an extension below may obstruct that,
Thank you for watching any questions please ask I’m happy to help
@@builditwithrob hello Rob I'm really impressed with the portfolio and in particular this video. I to have a similar size loft I would like converted in the exact same way. It's more or exactly the same loft as in this video and I would use it just for storage. Please could you kindly advise the cost price for this job. I note you are close by in leeds. Cheers Ernest.
@@builditwithrob hi Rob any advice?
Thanks for the video. I was thinking if this is a non-habitable space, can you do plastering and open windows? Another question is, could this loft have a fixed ladder instead of a pull-out one? Thank you! And great job. 👍🏻
Hey 👋 back then when this job was done we could plaster loft install velux windows have electrics and only a fold away ladder
I’ve got a loft like this, I’m interested in just boarding it out so I can put stuff in there. Am I right in thinking with new builds there is a minimum thickness of insulation in the flooring, would it still allow a decent amount of space? Based in Wakefield
Any idea what the reason was for converting the space? Seems a lot of effort if it was just going to be for storage of junk but seems far too low for anything other than storage
In London that would qualify as a a large two beds room to rent!
Was thinking the same. Over the top for a crawl space.
In a small house storage is almost always a problem. Doing this is much cheaper than moving house.
I'm trying to figure out why it was necessary to do anything if the space is intended to be storage.
Excellent
Wow what a transformation. It is so tiny what size Velux windows did you use?
I think it was a co02
what was the cost?
I would like to build one in my loft above my room. Just asking how much money did this cost m7
Hello friend
Please see our website. There is a cost calculator on there if you input the loft measurements it will give you a price
Thank you

nice job lads
If the roof sits on a timer framed first floor( I.e only the ground floor has brick walls) is something like this still possible?
Hello Joseph
Yes it’s still possible we have done a timber framed house conversion in the past
Were them old floor joists strong enough?
Does any of this need to be certified? Here in Australia we would need this to be certified by an engineer before cutting out any trusses or framework. How do you get away with this?
We have structural calculations for every job we remove or adjust supports
I have a similar sized low pitch loft space, but it has W trusses through the middle of it. Can this be converted without steelwork, or does it need the full structure like in some of your other vids? Was thinking of having it accessible via a mezzanine over one of the bedrooms as a sort or two tier bedroom space for the kids to play in
Hello friend
It can be opened up but it will require steel to reinforce the structure
I've seen a couple of these videos, and forgive me if this is a silly question, but in one of your other videos you first took some off the bottom courses of off the roof to slide in and fit steel beams. Why did you not need to do it here? Is it to do with the purpose of the space, or something to do with the structure of this home compared to that other one?
Some choose to have steels others don't. Probably depends on budget and purpose of the room.
Steels are put in if the loft is a trusse rafter roof. From this video looks like its a small traditional roof construction where ceiling joists are man enough to take weight of the new floor boards and traditional rafters and purlins create the existing space. Probably be a lot more effort and cost to convert a similar sized and head height roof space if it was a trussed rafter roof.
what can you do with such a small attic？
Short-term accommodation.
Hi Rob, great watching you and Damo. Amazing work in every video. I never had even give our loft a thought as the height isnt far off this one. We have Solar panels on the front of the house but was wondering can a Dorma on the back of the house go a little higher to allow standing height? Just curious could that be done? Thanks in advace, Tricky 👍
Hello You can only take dormer as high as ridge unfortunately
Thanks Rob. I think the best I can hope for is Truss removal and freeing up some space I can’t currently use. What would be a good next step?
That "Couldn't show" bit was like when people do the whole "I build a little off camera" in video game series'...
Is there a video were I can see how they furnished the room?
Sorry we don’t film anything after we complete our works
Did you no insulate the roof or reinforce the joists? Also does that head height comply with building regs? No being a keyboard warrior, just generally interested 👍
Hello sir I excited with your video,anyway I have room (bedroom ) and I want to built for loft but the problem is when afternoon so hot Btw I live in Asia Southeast (indonesia),Can I ask how to fix it?
what would this usually cost. no website referrals for free estimates please.
They do have a pretty good website to be fair, put in your rough dimensions, level of finish and it’ll give you a price.. no need to insert email address or phone number!
Thought you need a certain height to convert an attic or have I heard wrong?
This is not a bed room just storage space
@@builditwithrob did it need building regs?
@@ARM1886 as this is only a storage space, building control is not required
@@builditwithrob Oh great. I'm currently doing this with my garage conversion. Not big enough to he a room but OK for storage.
No model trains. 😔
Conal Fawcett me and my dad used to have a whole train set in our loft aha
How did/do you know if the joists will hold the weight of someone standing also what do you recommend to battern the joists with what size timber
I don't think anyone is standing in there...
I see it was a cold roof and the PIR was fitted hard against the sarrking. was a moisture barrier overlaid prior to plasterboard ?
Hello Martin. We keep a 50mm air flow gap behind insulation we don’t push it right back
What was the finishing height of this?
About 4 foot complete job done on knees
How tall is your attic?
I’d like to do something like this to my attic. Do you need to reinforce the ceiling joist? Any additional framing needed to support the additional weight?
Did you find out mate
All that work for a space you can't stand up in!
What size was this is square meters?
I think it was about 28sqm
How much will a job like this cost? I'm looking at doing that to my loft.

Can u do mine please
👍👍🌹🌹
Why is there so much moisture in the corners of the room? It feels like there could be something wrong with the ventilation
Hi Samual
That’s the thickness of the plaster, the curve is much thicker than the walls so takes longer to dry
Why? You can't even stand up in there.
why would someone go to all that trouble and expense for such a tiny room.
For storage. It’s cheaper and more convenient than renting a storage unit, plus it adds value to the home. Also, the construction process is a good time to check and see if everything is ship shape up there, since they replaced the insulation and everything.
@@thefranks8726yes but why put 2 widows and insulate and plaster for storage... Pointless. Board the loft floor. You have storage. Cost? 300 quid.
@@Sosages79lol, take a wild guess
That’s horrendous, amateur at best
Thanks bud I’ve always wanted to be amateur
Kinda fkd with the centre load bearing beam could of added maybe another 10-12racks get a dormer done
