What are the current Loft Conversion trends in Berkshire and Basingstoke?

Since the first Covid-19 lockdown, more people than ever are working from home and so we’ve seen a rapid increase in the amount of homeowners opting to convert their loft into an office or other home working space. Aside from extra bedrooms (including with en-suite facilities), we’re also seeing lots of people convert their lofts for AirBnb or other holiday rentals and some even convert into creative studios or other small business facilities.

How much does a Loft Conversion cost?

Loft conversions come in all shapes and sizes and the exact cost is dependent on not just the space at hand but also the scope of the project. Once a Refresh Renovations consultant has visited your home and looked at the space, a full quote will be provided based on your requirements and what you’re hoping to achieve.

Why choose Refresh for a Loft Conversion?

Refresh has years of experience in managing loft conversions across the Berkshire and Basingstoke area and this combined with their strategic industry relationships amongst suppliers, contractors and architects mean that we’re able to provide the most comprehensive high quality service for homeowners looking to transform their loft space.

Will I need planning permission for my Loft Conversion?

Most basic loft conversions don’t have any requirement for external planning permission but larger and more major renovations may need to comply to legal guidelines. Where this is the case, a Refresh Renovations Project Consultant will manage the entire process; filing applications and appeals and helping design and create the loft conversion in the way to provide the least possible amount of administrative requirement and project disruption. Refresh maintains a great relationship with local planning authorities (LPAs) and will always work with them to present the best possible solution with no hassle for the homeowner.
