Add Vibrant, Usable Space With Our Loft Conversions in Tunbridge Wells & All Other Kent Locations | BBH Construction Ltd
Garage and loft conversions are often mentioned in the same breath, because they both involve the same fundamental task: taking an under-utilised, but highly promising part of a property, and turning into a fully-integrated one. At BBH Construction, this is exactly what we help our clients achieve, travelling from Crowborough to Maidstone, Paddock Wood to Sevenoaks, and Tonbridge back toward our home base of Tunbridge Wells, to transform dingy attics used as surplus storage, into that fully-equipped room you’ve been dreaming of.
Our building company delivers bespoke loft conversions that can be used as guest bedrooms, master bathroom suites, home offices, a family games and home cinema room – or whatever else you have in mind for it. Certain loft conversions fall under permitted development rights, making them simple means of adding significant value to your property, while addressing any current shortcomings. Being an alternative to moving property, or investing in home extensions, which can be more expensive and take a while longer to complete, there’s no wonder why so many of our clients are finding a lot to like with these projects!
Styles of Loft Conversions
Each property we attend to in and around our principal service areas of Crowborough, Maidstone, Paddock Wood, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, has its own quirks and unique characteristics. The most relevant ones when planning loft conversions are the existing available attic space, and the shape of the roof. To ensure we can carve out enough space for your intended use, our builders have become experts in the following conversion techniques and methods:
- Dormer Conversion – A frequently chosen option that involves adding a box-like structure extending from the roof, providing additional headroom and space. Dormer conversions come in various styles, such as flat roof, gable fronted, or hipped roof dormers.
- Velux or Roof Light Conversion – This method includes installing windows into the existing roof structure to introduce natural light and ventilation, without altering the roof's shape. It's a cost-effective option but might limit headroom.
- Mansard Conversion – This type significantly alters the structure, creating a flat roof with a gently sloping wall. Mansard conversions maximise space, offering ample headroom and a versatile interior.
- Hip-to-Gable Conversion – Ideal for hipped roofs, this involves extending the 'hip' to a vertical 'gable' end, providing additional internal space and headroom.
Each type caters to different needs, space availability, and budget considerations, offering varying degrees of alterations to the existing loft space. Selecting the right type depends on factors like budget, roof structure, local planning regulations, and desired space outcomes.
