What We Did:

The loft space was made with trusses, and the homeowners before had created a sort of den area from one of the existing bedrooms. This had to be removed before we could begin installing the required steelworks. We also had to look to remove the existing gravity water tank in the loft space. We installed a new 180l mega flow water tank in the existing airing cupboard and converted the system to a pressurised water system in the whole house.

We built a full-width flat roof dormer to the side of the roof spaces to give the needed head height for the stairs and also make the two bedrooms a bigger size and a lot more usable. We finished the outside in render to match the existing nicely along with three brown UPVC windows supplied by our local suppliers Crown Windows.

We installed a new ensuite with full-size shower, toilet and sink, that works really well in the sloping roof section and gave a great usable bathroom to the third floor. The client added some extra items for us to do while in the house during the project, along with knocking two existing bedrooms into one room and even changing existing doors to newer oak doors.

This project is another great example of what is possible in that unused dark space, and what our fantastic DJ Moore Lofts team can achieve.
