Loft Conversions

Loft conversions can be the quickest and cheapest way of increasing the size of your property and generally are the best solution where another bedroom is the main requirement. There are many specialist loft conversion companies on the market who will offer a complete service, which may be an attractive option, but there are compelling advantages to using Design Zone:

Availability and speed - some builders can be notoriously difficult to get hold of and very slow to return calls. With our professional design office the phones are answered and calls returned promptly. You will be given a clear timescale for the design work to be done which will help with planning for the build. Applications are dealt with quickly and efficiently and monitored throughout.
Knowledge - some builders can give poor advice when it comes to planning legislation particularly and this could lead to problems. We are professionals and have a huge amount of experience in this field and can give you clear advice on all aspects of the process.
Flexibility - we will listen to your requirements and tailor the design to you needs- not just sell you want we want to build.
Control - our detailed package of drawings and notes allow you to get comparative quotes and maintain control over the price.
Vetted builders - we can recommend builders to quote for the work from our list of approved contractors (link to Fact Sheet 3). We are completely independent from the builder though so you can use your own if you prefer.
Someone to turn to - if you do experience a problem on site when using one of our builders, you can get in touch and we will help to resolve the problem. The builders on our lists rely on us to feed work through to them and as such they do not want to be taken off our lists. This means they will do everything to make sure our jobs run smoothly and that the clients are happy.

Our basic service will give you building regulations drawings which can be built from but you may want to consider getting detailed joinery drawings prepared for stairs, built-in furniture and bathrooms (see space planning)
