Cobham Loft Conversions

BNS Lofts

Cobham

A large village situated around 17 miles south-west of London, Cobham is a super popular place to live for people who want to be close to the action, but would rather enjoy the quiet and calm that living just outside of London brings. It’s been named one of the top places to live in the UK in a number of publications, and the accommodation is a big part of that.

You’ll find plenty of detached properties dotted around the village, and there’s a nice chunk of apartments too. Below, we’ll talk about some of the reasons why you might want to add a loft conversion to your Cobham home, and what the process will look like!

Why should you get a loft conversion in Cobham? 

Space is always one of the main reasons. Our owner Ben often tells customers to ‘build up, not out’ – meaning you can keep your garden if you have one, and won’t eat into precious outdoor space. If you don’t have a garden but want some extra room, then a loft conversion is a perfect way to make it happen. You’re essentially taking your home and adding in more room for whatever you like – a home gym, a cinema, a bar, or a studio to give you some examples.

To add to the benefit of more space, you’ll also be increasing the value of your home. You may not have plans to sell your property, but if the time comes when you’re looking for a change of scenery, you can enjoy the fact your property will sell for a lot more than if you hadn’t opted for a loft conversion.

Types of loft conversions:

You’ve got plenty of options at your disposal. Let’s scan over the different types of loft conversions available to you. To find out more, or arrange a quote, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the button – we’ll get back to you as soon as we can

Dormer –  This involves adding a ‘box shape’ to the top of your house, like the one in the picture below. Part of your existing roof is removed, and the ‘box shape’ is then added to give you more space and headroom.

Hip-to-gable – It’s where a sloping roof is remodelled into a vertical gable wall. In non-builder speak,  that means we transform a sloped roof, with cramped space inside, into a more open, spacious area by extending the ridge on your roof vertically.

Hip-to-gable and rear dormer loft – Hip to gable and rear dormer loft conversions are a mixture of the two: changing your sloping roof into a vertical one, as well as adding a box-like structure onto your roof to create space that wasn’t previously there for you to enjoy.

L-shaped dormer – The name gives it away! It’s an ‘L-shape’, which is created by connecting two dormers together at right angles. The larger dormer will sit on your main roof, whilst the smaller one is built on the rear roof.

Mansard – Think of a Mansard as an extension to the entire plane of the roof on your house. You can normally find them at the rear of your property, and they work by changing the ‘slope’ on your roof into an almost vertical angle (at least 72 degrees).

Skylight/Velux – In essence, you transform loft space that you already have available, by adding in Velux windows to give the room a whole new purpose.

 

Cobham loft conversion process

You’re busy with work, home and life in general. That’s why we put so much of our efforts into taking things off your plate, rather than adding to it.

We’ll start off by coming to your home to get a feel for what you’re looking for, and this is where we can start to tailor a quote specific to your vision. Once you’ve confirmed you’re happy to go ahead, we can start to plan the process from start to finish for you.

The design process is where you’ll be instrumental – we’ll take the time to really hone in on how you want your new loft conversion to look, and we’ll do that by looking at every detail in extreme detail. That way, you can add your unique tastes into the process so your new loft conversion really is tailor-made to you.

Outside of the design process, we try to take care of as much of the process as we can, without too much involvement from you. There will of course be times when we need to ask a question, or confirm your preferences, or double-check some info. When that’s the case, we’ll shoot you a message through Whatsapp, as you’ll have your own group with all of the relevant team members to keep communication crystal clear.

The planning side of things is taken care of by us, as is the building work and the project management. That way, you can focus on your day-to-day whilst we focus on building you a loft conversion that most people only see in magazines.

Why BNS?

Our attention is on two things: using our skilled team to deliver a result that’s even better than you expected, and adding in a rare focus on customer service so the whole process is as seamless as it can be. We know you’ve got plenty of options for your new loft conversion, and that’s great. It means you can take the time to weigh up your options, and make sure you’re choosing the company that fits you best. If you want to find out more about BNS lofts, how we work, our team, or absolutely anything to do with loft conversions in general, click the button below. We’re looking forward to seeing how we can help.

Our experience in the London building trade led us to discover two things: the quality of work is often below what you expect, and businesses in this industry don’t focus too heavily on customer service. Our owner Ben decided that he wanted to change that, and that’s how BNS loft came about. When you mix an experienced team who have an outstanding track record in the history, with a strong desire to go above and beyond for your customers, that’s when you get the best results. Our reviews are testament to that, and we’d love to add you to our growing list of happy clients.
