Steel beams being fitted in a modern truss loft conversion in Sheffield

Modern truss loft conversion in Sheffield

In modern built houses the loft is full of W shaped roof trusses that need to be removed to enable the loft space to be opened up. However the W shaped trusses are holding up the entire roof structure as well as the ceilings at 1st floor level.

So if we remove these W shaped truss whats holding the roof and ceilings up ?

We have to put the strength back into the roof by installing individual designed steel beams. These beams are uniquely designed by our own structural engineer and comply to the most stringent building regulations.

Its essential that before any works commences in a loft conversion you have structural engineers calculations and building regulations approval.

The image above shows our team of highly skilled steel fitters installing the steel beams in a loft conversion in Lodge Moor, Sheffield.

If you are thinking of undertaking any loft conversion, please speak to a specialist loft conversion company who should explain all the key stages of a loft conversion to you. Employing inexperienced builders to undertake such complex operations could end up in disaster.

Please feel free to speak to a member of our team for free help and advice on any type of loft conversion.

Our loft conversion in Totley, Sheffield under construction

We have just completed another loft conversion in Totley. This modern built property was originally constructed with a ‘W’ truss rafter roof.

We convert the modern truss lofts that builders and architects say can’t be converted, using our very own State-of-the-Art ReSteel System.

If your roof space is filled with tonnes of W-shaped wooden roof rafters, we can still build you the home of your dreams with our uniquely developed ReSteel System. A combination of innovative design and the very latest technologies, we use high-tensile steel beams that allows us to remove the W-shaped rafters and open up your loft to create the space needed for your new loft conversion.

These steel beams are fitted within the new floor structure and are not seen. The beams are specially designed by our structural engineer and manufactured for each individual loft conversion project and our work is fully compliant with most stringent building regulations (It’s actually stronger than before!)

This spacious loft was transformed into a large feature landing to be used as an play area and also a double bedroom. We fitted Four Velux MO6 GHL windows to flood the two rooms with natural day light.

The finished project looks stunning. Completed within 6 weeks and on budget.

Loft conversion building regulations

Building regulations will always be required if the loft space is being converted into any usable form of accommodation or habitable room. These requirements are in place to ensure that the necessary construction criteria are met and that the all health and safety laws, amongst other things, have been satisfied. We apply and obtain building regulations on all our loft conversions and garage conversions, so you don’t have to.

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.
