As well as offering valuable extra living space, loft conversions provide one of the best returns on investment you can get when it comes to extending, with experts suggesting they add the most value to your home in comparison to the cost. Converting your loft with Loft Conversions Manchester is often one of the easiest and cheapest ways to boost the square footage of your home.
You Need Planning Permission In Manchester
You will need planning permission if you are altering the roof height or shape (which may be the case if you have to raise it for headroom) but Loft Conversions Manchester can advise you on this. Loft Conversions Manchester can tell you that not all loft conversions need planning permission. Most loft conversions can be done under permitted development rights, which allow the improvement and extension of homes, under certain restrictions.
Trusses are typically used with thinner timbers and while the prefabrication method results in a faster installation time, they often require additional support during a loft conversion. To maximise energy efficiency for your loft conversion, the roof space should be made as airtight as possible, and to counter this it is essential to introduce controlled ventilation to prevent the risk of condensation and maintain good air quality.
