Measurement of your potential loft conversion should be more than 7ft 6″

If the measurement from the loft floor of the apex of the roof is more than 7ft 6″ (2.3 metres, 90″ or 230cms) then you have a good chance your loft can be converted into a living space. From a FREE consultation visit, Richard can help you with a ball park figure and ideas of how to get maximum space from a loft conversion. Please email Richard through his contact form to organise a suitable time to pop round.

A loft conversion takes between 6 to 8 weeks to build

I am always asked this question and of course it varies on the size of your house. If it were an average, 3 bedroom terraced house, a Dormer loft conversion including a master bedroom and with an en-suite bathroom, this would take between 6 to 8 weeks.

Another excellent review for Jackson Loft Conversions

“Richard fitted a new Velux for me. He gave great advice and was very professional throughout. He is quick to respond to emails and even popped round a year later to show me how to work it when I couldn’t get it to close. Highly recommended.”
