Looking for telebeam loft conversion south wales

7 years ago

Hi we've got a trussed roof timber frame bungalow and I was wondering whether anyone could give me an idea of the cost for a telebeam loft conversion.

Hi Jonathan Sorry if unclear (and advice much appreciated). This idea was put forward by one of the loft conversion specialists who visited, but we haven't yet had an architect draw it up or check it for feasibility. I imagine the hallway would measure something like 70cm wide and 2.5m long, so the dimensions of the bedroom would become 3.7m x 2.3m (enough to retain the double bed). I've added a rectangle to the plan to give a better idea of the proposed hallway location.

i used glulam before which is similar to the one you talking about but im afraid most of the structure engineers and inspectors are not happy with more likely just because the system is new and they are not too sure about the result in a next 20 years.

Hello Jane. I cannot promise clever ideas but here goes. A loft conversion costs serious money as dos an extension. You have only just bought the house so I would first be inclined give yourselves time to grow into the space and learn how you all use it as a family. I would see if I could work with what I already have with a view to possibly doing major works at a later date. You have already explored the option of knocking through from the kitchen into the lounge. This is a good place to start. Cost is dependant on whether or not this is a supporting wall. I notice you have a small inner hall and under stair cupboard. Could you open up these two areas to enlarge the kitchen further? It would increase its size by a third. If you block off access into the kitchen from the hall you would create additional wall space for cupboards. For this to work you would need to move the existing door opening from the hall into the lounge further along the wall towards the front door. Locate the lounge to the front of the house and dining to the rear. It is a long room. You could keep it open plan or divide it with double doors set in a wall. Pocket or bifold would prevent them eating into the space. Or just have two narrow walls either side to visually divide the space. Not an arch, this costs more and you would lose the height which visually shrinks the space. Going back to the kitchen. You could block the rear door which would again allow for more wall space for cupboards. With all this wall space you could build a u shaped kitchen facing the dining area. You may have room for an island or peninsula. Double doors from the dining would take you out into the garden. Are you planning to demolish the outside stores? If you do you could install a window in the outside wall into your kitchen. Do you currently need the third bedroom? If you don’t and you lack space in the bedrooms for wardrobes then could you turn this bedroom into a walk in wardrobe? All these suggestions are relatively low cost in comparison to extensions and loft conversions. They buy you time because as sure as eggs are eggs you will change your mind.
