Loft Conversions in Thurrock

Divi-Design – perfectly placed for Loft Conversions in Thurrock

Loft conversions are popular with  good reason. They’re a great way to enlarge you home without the cost and inconvenience of moving  – and without sacrificing valuable garden space.

At Divi Design we value our local knowledge; it’s the key to our many successful projects in the Thurrock area. We’re Architectural Designers and Planning Specialists. We know Thurrock well – and we have valuable experience working with the Thurrock Unitary Authority and its Planning Department. We’re privileged to have undertaken many loft conversions in the area, with an equal number of satisfied clients.

A loft conversion can re-vitalise a house of any age and modern materials and construction techniques are extremely versatile, so loft conversions are possible on nearly all residential homes..  

Once we’ve properly understood your needs, we’ll guide you through the stages of a loft conversion. If it’s required, we’ll help with the Planning Application, or help you secure confirmation that your work comes within Permitted Development Rights. 

What is the cost of a loft conversion in Thurrock?

The cost of loft conversions in Thurrock will be influenced by many factors. These will include the size and type of conversion and the state of the existing roof. Other important considerations will be 

• how old is the house and how is it constructed?
• how easy is it to access the roof?
• which additional features are to be included – eg , is it a simple bedroom, or will a bathroom be included?

Design details are important too. A dormer loft conversion is usually the most economic but each conversion is different. Also remember related non-construction costs. You should consider

• architectural designs, plans and specifications
• advice from a structural engineer and/or a party wall surveyor
• the application for Planning Permission or a Certificate of Lawful Development
• Building Regulations inspections & approval.

For a Thurrock loft conversion, the simplest loft conversion may cost in the region of £30,000. More usually you should expect to pay a total of £40,000 to £65,000 depending on size and particular specifications of the work you have commissioned.
