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

@bermondseyboy88 3 года назад

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

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?

@builditwithrob 3 года назад

Hello Joseph Yes it’s still possible we have done a timber framed house conversion in the past

@robcain9324 Год назад

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

@builditwithrob Год назад

Hello friend It can be opened up but it will require steel to reinforce the structure

@javierfc6183 Год назад

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. 👍🏻

@builditwithrob Год назад

Hey 👋 back then when this job was done we could plaster loft install velux windows have electrics and only a fold away ladder

@alisonnorcross951 4 года назад

I love your video . Does not seem to be much headroom though

@builditwithrob 4 года назад

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

@alisonnorcross951 4 года назад

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?

@builditwithrob 4 года назад

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.

@JamieCox-r3u Год назад

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 👍

@grantskelton1219 3 года назад

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?

@jonofitz11 3 года назад

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?

@CraveThatCoin 3 года назад

Some choose to have steels others don't. Probably depends on budget and purpose of the room.

@skygod1975 3 года назад

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.

@trickystank 3 года назад

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 👍

@builditwithrob 3 года назад

Hello You can only take dormer as high as ridge unfortunately

why would someone go to all that trouble and expense for such a tiny room.

@thefranks8726 3 года назад

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.
