A bit more info would be useful please. E.g floor plans, photos, what you're hoping to achieve. When you say 'house' do you mean removing the roof adding on another floor or converting the loft? If converting the loft, will you need dormer windows for extra height / space or will veluxes be ok? How many bedrooms will you need? Hard to offer advice without more info.

We are currently working on a bungalow conversion: we've removed existing roof, built first floor and second floor (which is loft with Velux windows). The project is due for completion in January 2017, we'll be uploading all the photos then.

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us - contact@pmbconstruction.uk

Best regards,

Colin

I think you'd be better off posting a plan with dimensions. Are you set against the full two storey and having dormers. Did you get costings from the builder or are you just taking his opinion? Yes, brick two storey is more expensive, but obviously:- 1 - more spacious and 2 - adds more value. I guess it depends on your budget. Anything is possible with the right amount of money. If you post a plan, then maybe someone will pick it up and can give you options, then you can get costings properly.

The house is not for young family, boys are 10 and 13 if it makes sense. Totally we would like to keep 3 bedrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs extension I am thinking of 2 bedrooms for guests. The front garage I don’t need but I would like to keep the garage which is accessible from road behind (cul-de-sac). As shown in my plan as playroom it should actually be a gym for boys. Only to be used as a garage when I am out on holiday, hence I am not much stressed about it. I have mentioned in my brief that upstairs open area can be used as gym, what my thought was just a thread mill and hanging boxing bag. The corner side by backside garage door is the sunny aspect of the house, not fully from the back but from sideways. The Bathroom as soon as you enter the house is same size of the bedroom next to it, hence thinking of making the bathroom smaller. We would like to keep the kitchen and dining separate, except a breakfast table in the kitchen. The hall by entrance would like some cupboard for hanging coats and shoe rack, the hall is huge as well. The living room to the front garage is a flat roof hence the height is 1 brick down compared to the rest of the house. As going up and putting a new roof I am told that that can be sorted.

Definitely get an architect in as soon as possible. Planning permission can take time even if next door has done similar or the same! Structural changes are complex and an architect will rule out an ideas that don't have legs straight away; saving you time. I would definitely go open plan and this is certainly possible for the space. I would even take some of the space from the large entrance hall as you already have an inner hall immediately behind. Also this would allow you to have a more definded and statement entrance at the front. To achieve this you may need to incorporate a pillar or steel beam which is relatively easy to do. It is hard to say if you would need this though as it depends where the load of the roof and evetually the dormer extension would sit. You could move the main bathroom upstairs, have a WC and two bedrooms on the left side of the back of the property - where the bathroom is and the odd hallways configuration which would allow for the living room to be opened up into the back of the property. It all really depends on your budget and time constraints. Congrats on the twins, you must be thrilled (and exhausted!). If you need any help regrding the interior design for this project or room layout and staging of rooms please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on 07570574493.

Given the limited amount of information we all give the best advice possible from our own experience- I’m sorry Jen doesn’t agree. Given we don’t know the house sizes, budget, planning constraints we don’t know with certainty if anything suggested is possible. But if it were my house I would prefer the boiler to be in the utility than in the main entrance (but I concede budget may dictate otherwise). As far as this being a complicated flue some boilers can have horizontal flues of up to 8m long and an extension to the one supplied with the boiler is rarely more than £50 - given the stated aspiration of a loft conversion I felt it was safe to assume this £50 was in budget although Jen is right that moving the boiler may be an expense too far given the work you intend to take on. Equally if you intend reconfiguring the house your existing heating pipework may need to be relocated and moving the boiler may be easily done at the same time. Since this post is mainly to get inspiration for a new layout and I have done my best to give one possibility that delivers the stated aims I don’t feel any defense of my efforts is necessary. In my humble opinion the boiler conversation could pose a different discussion on a different thread as if your end goal is to have three bathrooms you may prefer to get a system boiler with a hot water storage cylinder to better deliver your hot water. In which case you need to put the cylinder somewhere- you could get rid of the side porch to make the proposed utility bigger in order to also accommodate the cylinder.
