Mr & Mrs Bidder of Lodge Moor, Sheffield, South Yorkshire had decided they was in need of an extra bedroom for there family but just wasn’t prepared to pack up there lives and deal with the hassle and expense of buying a new home.

“One thing we did like about restyle was just how flexible they was with the design. They really understood our needs” says Mr Bidder.

The solution was simple, convert their “dark old rubbish filled” loft. Restyle managed to convert the modern truss loft into a spacious master bedroom, an additional dressing room and a luxury en-suit bathroom.

“ReStyle was very accommodating with the time frame and hit every deadline they set.” Says Mrs Bidder

One of the Bidder’s main concerns with the build was the amount of natural light they would have in the new bedroom. To overcome this we installed 3 large Velux windows, this allowed plenty of light to flood the room while retaining the heat in the winter thanks to the double glazing.

Before, During & After

Week 1 – This is what a Modern Truss Loft looks like before our craftsmen get to work

Week 5 – At this stage the joiners have already got to work dividing the several rooms, while insulation is stored to ensure the heat doesn’t escape making the room very energy efficient.

Week 9 - The bathroom is complete and finished to a very high standard. By installing another Velux window in the bathroom we achieved the goal of allowing as much natural light to enter the conversion as possible.

Week 10 – The loft is completed. The Bidder family finally have there much needed extra bedroom with a luxury en-suite.

The project was a complete success from start to finish, “All-in-all ReStyle did a great job…   we would certainly recommend them as a good, reliable, clean operation which deliver what they say they will do.” Mr & Mrs Bidder

Modern truss loft conversion in Totley, Sheffield S17

Loft conversions in Sheffield

We have just commenced work on a modern truss loft conversion in Totley, Sheffield. This detached property was build by David Wilson Homes and is the 62nd loft conversion we have undertaken on a David Wilson Homes property.

This modern ‘W’ truss roof is being transformed into a master bedroom with a large feature bathroom. We are installing 9 Velux windows to take in the amazing view from the loft.

Modern truss loft conversions usually make the best types of loft conversion due to the sizes of modern houses being larger than traditional houses and they also have a great deal more of headroom.

If you have a large loft space and would like some free help and advice on how to maximize the space please give us a call and speak to a member of our team who will answer any questions you may have.

We will be posting more images of the huge loft conversion over the coming weeks.

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.

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 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.
