JMA Joinery & Building Services recently transformed a one-bedroom loft with a basic loft hatch into a stunning two-bedroom loft conversion, complete with permanent stairs. The project involved several stages, including assessment, planning, and meticulous design. The end result is a beautifully renovated loft space that maximises functionality and adds significant value to the home.

To begin the project, JMA Joinery & Building Services conducted a thorough structural survey to ensure the loft could support the additional load of a two-bedroom conversion. After confirming feasibility, we collaborated closely with the homeowners to design a layout that optimised space and met their needs.
The design included adding permanent stairs for easy and safe access, significantly improving the usability of the loft. We made sure all planning permissions were given and ensured our proposed works met local building regulations.
Construction began with cutting a hole in the existing floor for the new staircase as well as reinforcing the existing floor structure to handle the new layout. Once this had been completed, we built the stud walls which divided the existing room into two and also built a stud wall along the hole for the new stairs.
The team then installed a dormer window to enhance natural light and create more headroom. The new staircase was custom-built to blend seamlessly with the existing home, providing a stylish and practical solution. This took the whole team to lift and install but the end result looked really good.
Once the main construction was complete, we added insulation, electrical wiring, and door frames to accommodate the new layout. The loft was finished with high-quality plastering, fire doors, flooring, and paintwork, creating two beautiful new bedrooms. The transformation not only increased the living space but also added significant value to the property.
The completion of this loft conversion not only provided the homeowners with additional living space but also significantly enhanced the overall value and functionality of their home.
