Loft Conversion Price Factors

Loft Conversion Estimates and Why they Differ
Perhaps the most common question asked of us at Bespoke Lofts is “how much is our
loft conversion going to cost?” Budgeting for such a major project is very important,
but many people are still unsure as to why a loft conversion estimate can vary.
The reasons are relatively simple. Each conversion is unique, meaning each requires
different details, different finishes and different materials, all of which means
there is no one price fits all policy where loft conversions are concerned.
Property Layout
When putting together a quote, the house type will be taken into consideration.
The price of converting a loft in a four bedroom detached property will differ to
one performed in a two bed terrace. It is also necessary for the loft conversion
specialists to take into consideration the layout of the property and look for anything
that might complicate the project. At Bespoke Lofts we will visit the property and
make detailed drawings and notes to determine the amount of work that would be needed
and to identify and problems that may arise.
Plumbing Complications
The scale of the plumbing needed will have a dramatic effect on the overall cost
of the project. The inclusion of an ensuite bathroom will of course result in a
higher cost, and in many cases even if the only job is to move the water tank or
boiler, the price can increase.
Here at Bespoke Lofts have our own qualified and experienced plumbing team that
are safe and reliable. We never outsource work, which guarantees the quality will
be the same throughout the build.
Safe Electrical Installation
Electrics are required in every loft conversion, but depending on type of room it
is earmarked to eventually become, the electrical costs could start to rise. Multiple
power sockets, spot-lights and a wired smoke alarm system will of course drive costs
up. Remember, whatever electrics you need, only use a professionally trained electrician
to carry out these essential works like those found within our team at Bespoke Lofts.
Fully trained and 100% safe, put your trust in our electrical specialists.
Remember this advice and make sure you follow the tips to get a fair and reasonable
quote.
