Loft conversion with rear dormer extension recently completed in Walthamstow E17, East London to create a\u00a0master bedroom space with ensuite. Loft conversions are a\u00a0cost effective way to extend a house\u00a0if the existing\u00a0roof is suitable and the ridge\u00a0high enough. For this project the loft floor and ceiling to the 1st floor bedrooms below had to be\u00a0lowered\u00a0as the existing roof space was marginally too low. A full width dormer extension\u00a0carried out under permitted development rules was added to the rear and a certificate of lawfulness secured (to avoid potential future conveyancing problems). A large window and rooflight together with light coloured finishes […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>
