Re-Style Loft Conversions will transform your loft from a dark, dusty storage area into a versatile living space.

Thinking of extending your home? Then look upwards. That is what Martin and Penny did last August when they bought their 1920s detached home in Sheffield. Martin and Penny wanted to create two new bedrooms in the loft for their son and daughter who are both away at university.

The conversion has turned their four bedroomed/one-bathroom home into a five-bedroomed/two bathroom property.

“We loved the place when we first came to look around,” says Penny, a science lecturer at Sheffield College, “but felt it did not quite have enough space. We saw potential in extending the loft.”

She and Martin contacted a number of firms to quote for the work, and were most impressed by Re-Style Loft Conversions, whose director Craig Wilkinson has 20 years’ experience converting Sheffield lofts into stunning living spaces.

“Craig was very professional and knowledgeable,” says Penny. “He talked us through all the work required, and the timescale.”

Re-Style offer a complete design service. Their in-house architect and structural engineer will work to your requirements, and deal with all the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. Re-Style’s fully qualified joiners, electricians, plumbers and plasterers will guarantee that your conversion is completed to a very high standard.

The first stage of Penny and Martin’s conversion was to carefully fit our innovative ReSteel system and new floor joists. The floor and roof spaces were then insulated and three Velux windows fitted and stud-partition walls were created to form two bedrooms and a bathroom. A bespoke, manufactured staircase was then installed, including new posts and balustrades that exactly matched the main staircase.

The loft conversion was finished on schedule – within budget – in under eight weeks. “The rooms and the new staircase look fantastic,” says Penny. “We liked that Craig is a very good communicator. He listened to us and did exactly what we wanted throughout the project, even when it meant changing things at the last minute.”

Loft conversion planning permission

Planning permission is not usually required to convert a loft space into a livable space. Since October 2008 permitted development rights were extended which made it much easier to carry out a loft conversion.This means that in most cases, planing permission is not required. However we would always check with your local authority to establish whether planning permission is needed. Should you need planning permission we would deal with your planning application for you.

The conversion has transformed our home

“Re-style did everything. They were fantastic; very clean, tidy and polite. They even made Helen cups of tea. The conversion looks brilliant, and has transformed our home.”

Re-Style Loft Conversions don’t just work on the lofts of older homes.  They also transform modern properties, as they did for Dan and Helen, of Sheffield, who wanted to extend their three-bedroomed detached house.

Their family has since grown, hence the need for more space. Dan and Helen now have three children Moving to a bigger house was an option they rejected because they like where they live, so they opted for a loft conversion to transform their three-bedroomed home into a five bedroomed one. “We chose Re-Style because they were very professional and enthusiastic about the job. They explained everything very clearly, and quoted a reasonable price. We also visited one of their previous customers to see their work. We were impressed”

Re-Style offer a complete design service. Their in-house architect and structural engineer worked to the Reeders’ requirements and designed a unique steel-beam structure that supported the roof and ceilings in the floor below. This meant the roof did not need replacing, which saved a great deal of expense. Besides the fitting of steel beams, new joists and floorboards, Restyle installed a new staircase and two dormer windows – one on the front of the property, and one on the back. Three Velux windows were also fitted.

Re-style erected wall partitions and did all the plastering, electrical and plumbing work. This included fitting a new combination boiler, and radiators. The project was completed in ten weeks. “Re-Style did everything apart from the decorating and tiling,” says Dan. “They were fantastic; very clean, tidy and polite. They even made Helen cups of tea. The conversion looks brilliant, and has transformed our home.”

Re-Style Loft Conversions deal with all necessary planning permissions and building regulations. The company’s qualified joiners, plasterers, electricians and plumbers ensure that every loft conversion is completed to the highest standards.
