Hi do you need to fix the timber to the top of the steel that the floor hangers are connected to ? and if so how do you fix them to the top of the steel ? many thanks

How did you get around fire regs? Shouldn't there be a fire door at the top or bottom of the new stairwell?

Looks good, cleverly utilised space. How much did it cost?

Would you be able to work in Watford?

Good job! Only gripe is that radiator plumbed fitting looked rough, also why plaster into the skirting board. Drywall should be plastered to ground and then fit the skirting, architraves, faceplates etc.

Good job and can I be picky? The Velux reveal per the instructions were done wrong. The bottom reveal should be vertical and the top reveal horizontal, this is to allow maximum light in. Apart from my jobs, I've only seen one Velux fitted according to the instructions.

Brilliant Loft conversion,really good workmanship, however those stairs look very steep.

They were steep steps as she said those are they're steps I'm gonna make mine in a square. They bought steps already made I'm gonna make mine myself as i done for our deck outside On that deck I've made it have a back exit or entrance way doing that to it was a big upgrade for the old thing But I been thinking now to extend that deck on down and just build over those steps I've made and make some new ones again so the only wood I'm lacking is the floor joists and 4x4s i have all the flooring wood

Hi.econ team.what it is the cost to make complete attic?

This is true workmanship

7 weeks?? We had a Hip to Gable loft conversion with an 8 M Dormer done in 5 Weeks. Also is there any reaon you trimmed the VELUX windows square and didn't bring the plaster out of the top of the window level as per manufacturers specification?? so easy to do and it lets more light in.....

One of the reasons of the war of 1812

The loft has a gable wall on each side only about 4m apart max. Seems rather complicated to put in 3 steel supports across what is quite a small bridge, why not just use timber? Something like 3 or 4 225x50 bolted together would do it. If the timbers have been doubled up, why the ridge steel? Does not seem to be doing anything. I would put a window in the gable wall. It is short headroom and so a ready made dormer would be almost as easy as the velux.

Oh its gonna get done the correct way I've already took out a old brick chimney that was hidden in a old roof attic in the new attic so I've upgraded our attic alot plus busted out all that old chimney that took a ton of extra weight off our floor in 3 rooms But to get to that old chimney i first had to lay some flooring down to get to the old roof in the new attic so i could then take apart most of the old roof that was in the new attic so most of that is gone the other half is holding weight that i can see so I left that part on me doing all that stuff created a lot more attic space for us

Absolutely and just because it can be done, doesn’t necessarily mean it should be done! Down here in UK / SE, stamp duty is so prohibitive that many people simply do this kind of work or have extensions built, as the cost can be the same as a move.

But looks great. without a latter I'd need to make us some steep steps for our attic entrance way would have to be steep for were the entrance is plus the lack of space for were it's at I could make them in a square twist kinda like doing a puzzle then this way the steepness would be gone think that's how I'll do ours 4 steps then a square platform then 4 more steps from that to the entrance way would look good all done with wood and wood hand rail

About 7 weeks to complete.

There's enough cheese in this narration for a year's worth of sandwiches.

I can see many h&s regs not respected. Careful with what you put online and even more on your workers safety.

Are you able to use your big lorries and cranes when the house is in a Victorian terrace with no rear access and a main road at the front? You 'pioneered' the steel fixing...?! Really?! Have you heard of Brunel? Not enough ceiling insulation. Flooring should be glued and screwed and plastering after second fix just shows how dodgy this is. I wouldn't mind having a close look at your work, give it the full once over.
