Loft Conversion In Upminster

Loft Conversion In Upminster

Having a loft conversion can be a great way to improve your home. Everyone needs to change their home at some point in there lives, Fox Conversions offers a loft conversion Upminster service. We offer this service to help people that want to improve their homes, why move? Who wants to pay estate agents, solicitor fees and stamp fees before you even get to move.

We had an ever expanding family in Essex that had 6 members, the father owned his own business and there wasn’t any houses in the area that he liked that had the rooms that he wanted. So we converted his loft, this gave him an extra two rooms. He was very happy as he loved where he lived but just did not want to move.

A loft conversion doesn’t take long and the money you invest into having one done can pay off when you come to sell your home in years to come. That is if you ever do want to move. Homes in Upminster are built pretty generally traditional, this means that most homes wont have a truss roof, but they are more likely to have a water tank in the loft. What does this mean?

Well a truss loft and traditional loft can both be converted, traditional lofts are a little more easy to convert that’s all, for more information check out our article on this. A  water tank would be used in part of your water heating system. This can be over come if you are willing to switch to a combi boiler, or your water tank can be moved. For more infomation on water tanks please check out our article here.

If you don’t understand and need to speak to someone please email or give us a call, part of our loft conversion Upminster service includes free consolation. So get in contact today!

Garage Conversion In Brentwood By Fox Conversions

We recently had a client in Brentwood that wished to have their garage converted, at the same time they wished to extend the garage to maximize the habitual space. So Fox Conversions created a small extension to back of the garage conversion, built up a small wall that would take a large patio door. We also extended the flat roof above to protect the room from the weather, you can see the pictures of this in progress below.

After the structural work was complete it was time to install the first fix services for plumbing and electric for the shower, radiators, lights and plug sockets. The stud walls and insulation went in at this point create the internal walls for the garage conversion.

Once the services are in place and all surfaces are ready for plastering, the window is installed and all the rooms are plastered. Once this stage is complete we can start the second fix carpentry, plumbing and electrical. This is the part where it begins to look like a new room, especially when the finishing touches are installed. Fox Conversions also install laminate flooring and other wood flooring products, here the client opted to have bamboo flooring. Due to our working schedule we did not get any pictures of the bathroom. Once the works had been complete the client was very happy as you can see from the pictures below.

Fox Conversions Offer Garage Conversions Brentwood as one of their services, we are a garage conversion company in Brentwood. Please feel free to get in contact for a Brentwood Conversion Company that can help you.

Convert Garage Into Flat

At Fox Conversions recently we have noticed due to a raise in the demand for rent people have been converting their garages into a rent able room these are often bedsits or one bedroom flats. This can really be a great way to make the most of the space you have that you may not be using. You can turn your garage into a rent able space, and until the amount you spent converting the flat has been paid back to you by a tenant then you shouldn’t have to pay any tax!

We can help you achieve this, like we helped this customer. He wanted to convert his garage into a flat at his house in Basildon. Fox Conversions helped our customer buy installing cooker points for a kitchen to be installed, waste services for a toilet, shower and skin. This conversion took around 8 days and the customer can now benefit from any unused space that you have in your garage.

Below we have some before and after pictures of the process of the conversion. We removed the garage doors and built a block wall, it was then rendered to match the rest of the house. The customer chose to install the plumbing and kitchen himself to try save money, but we can also provide this service.

Garage Conversion Bishops Stortford 

Before converting your garage with Fox Conversions we would like to explain to you how we convert a standard garage. So below we have explained how we converted a garage recently in Bishops Stortford. This was a standard garage conversion that was being transformed into an office and a utility room. We are happy to provide you with a garage conversion Bishop Stortford as well.

All of our garage conversions are carried out to building regulations and have regular visits from the local building control to ensure every thing is carried out to standard.

Day One

The first day we will arrive on site and speak to you about what is going to happen before starting work, ordering materials, remove the garage door and install two pre stressed concrete lintels these take the load of the brick work that will be built on the front of your garage.  If the front of your garage is being rendered then we still do the same, the lintels are installed below floor level so that they are not seen.

Please click the images if you wise to enlarge them.

Day Two

On the second day the lintels will be ready to build on, if the front of your garage is being rendered then we will form an wall ready for render and a window size of your choice. If you are having a brick wall we will match the brick to the closest possible match to the bricks that you have. You have the options of either having the brickwork toothed out or set back. If you have the brickwork toothed out then the two sides of brickwork will be cut out and the new brickwork will run into the existing brick work.

If you have the brickwork setback then the price is slightly less expensive as the brickwork is setback from the front by around 3cm, sometimes this is the best choice if it is impossible to get an exact match to your existing brickwork.  We will be able to help you choose what is best for you before you make a choice on this.

As you can see in this picture the customer chose to have the brick match the same brick as the house rather than the garage and set the wall back this made the wall a feature wall.

Day Three

On day three we lay a membrane to the floor of the garage to stop any damp arising into your new floor, we then build any stud work off of this membrane, any exterior walls for example walls that are not joined to your house have a stud wall built against them and insulation installed between the studs. This acts as a cavity wall and provides your garage with some insulation.

At this point any first fix plumbing and electric is installed into the garage for services such as lighting, sockets, radiators and any sinks, toilets, showers etc.

Day Four

On day four a floor consisting of chipboard and insulation is normally installed to the garage to bring the finish floor height to the same height as your houses. After his point we can then install your new window(s) or maybe even door(s) as well. At the same time we then knock through into home so you now have access to your garage from your home, this is only done if your garage has the windows/doors to keep it secure.

We knock an opening through to the same size of a standard door/bespoke door size and install a lintel to support the structure of your house. During this time we make sure that we do our best to make sure your home remains dust free.

Day Five

On day five we start to dry line the walls of your garage conversion so that they are ready for plastering, this is normally a short process.

  Day 6

On day six the garage is plastered, it is then ready for the second fix carpentry, electric and plumbing. These trades will install the finishing touches and services for the garage such as doors, lights, radiators etc.

Day 7

On day seven the second fix is carried out along with the lighting and plumbing and this customer asked for coving in their garage conversion so this was provided as requested. We now have a  finished garage conversion ready for you and your family to use. Our services do not only just include Garage Conversion Bishops Stortford, we also carry out loft conversions and garage conversions.

Fox Conversions can provide this service for you, we can also offer the final finishes such as kitchen fitting and decorating, we can provide a serape quote for this work. Why not get a garage conversion Bishop Stortford?
