Loft Conversions in Maidstone
Maidstone has a very wide range of housing and correspondingly wide range of loft conversion work, from Victorian terraces in the town to large post-war semis and modern estate houses further out. Each roof type converts differently and costs differently.
Harcol Ltd carry out loft conversions throughout Maidstone and the surrounding villages, handling everything from the structural design to the final decoration.
Matching the Conversion to the House
What suits your property depends on its age and roof form:
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces: rear or L-shaped dormers
- Inter-war semis: hip to gable, often with a rear dormer
- Post-war housing: dormer conversions with new floor structure
- Modern trussed roofs: full structural replacement then conversion
- Bungalows: substantial roof alterations to create a first floor
Cost and What Drives It
The biggest single cost variable in a loft conversion is not the finish, it is the structure. A roof that can take a new floor spanning wall to wall is straightforward; one that needs steels, a new ridge or a rebuilt roof is not.
We survey and tell you which category your house falls into before quoting, so the figure you get is based on your actual roof rather than an average.
