I'm moving into a house and my room will be in the loft, I was having thoughts that it would be small and cramped but the roof and house are the same size as in this video, thanks you put my mind at rest it looks great!
Good job and can I be picky? The Velux reveal per the instructions were done wrong. The bottom reveal should be vertical and the top reveal horizontal, this is to allow maximum light in. Apart from my jobs, I've only seen one Velux fitted according to the instructions.
7 weeks?? We had a Hip to Gable loft conversion with an 8 M Dormer done in 5 Weeks. Also is there any reaon you trimmed the VELUX windows square and didn't bring the plaster out of the top of the window level as per manufacturers specification?? so easy to do and it lets more light in.....
Good job! Only gripe is that radiator plumbed fitting looked rough, also why plaster into the skirting board. Drywall should be plastered to ground and then fit the skirting, architraves, faceplates etc.
They were steep steps as she said those are they're steps I'm gonna make mine in a square. They bought steps already made I'm gonna make mine myself as i done for our deck outside On that deck I've made it have a back exit or entrance way doing that to it was a big upgrade for the old thing But I been thinking now to extend that deck on down and just build over those steps I've made and make some new ones again so the only wood I'm lacking is the floor joists and 4x4s i have all the flooring wood
The loft has a gable wall on each side only about 4m apart max. Seems rather complicated to put in 3 steel supports across what is quite a small bridge, why not just use timber? Something like 3 or 4 225x50 bolted together would do it. If the timbers have been doubled up, why the ridge steel? Does not seem to be doing anything. I would put a window in the gable wall. It is short headroom and so a ready made dormer would be almost as easy as the velux.
Hi do you need to fix the timber to the top of the steel that the floor hangers are connected to ? and if so how do you fix them to the top of the steel ? many thanks
Absolutely and just because it can be done, doesn’t necessarily mean it should be done! Down here in UK / SE, stamp duty is so prohibitive that many people simply do this kind of work or have extensions built, as the cost can be the same as a move.
About 5 hun to do the window ur self see what you do get up there check the stuff out cut frame do whatever you have to and get the new window in that's how you do it
If your like i am it's a low cost job 3 hundred dollars is the most i put on doing that project if you're buying the wood to make all that happen and i use screws nails push out later on screws don't I'd tack on another $50.00 just incase we need any extra wood for a project like that And all that metal is still adding extra weight to that framing i wouldn't use
Oh its gonna get done the correct way I've already took out a old brick chimney that was hidden in a old roof attic in the new attic so I've upgraded our attic alot plus busted out all that old chimney that took a ton of extra weight off our floor in 3 rooms But to get to that old chimney i first had to lay some flooring down to get to the old roof in the new attic so i could then take apart most of the old roof that was in the new attic so most of that is gone the other half is holding weight that i can see so I left that part on me doing all that stuff created a lot more attic space for us
Scott davidson you don’t need planning permission for internal structures. I’m 14 years old and I know that. This makes me estimate your IQ at 20, and considering you didn’t know that then I’m sure your not qualified to know anything else about this,
7 weeks for this basic conversion lool my naigbour had a double Dormer roof conversion done in 4weeks 3 men flat out. I've been playing with my drone keeping an eye 😂
@@alizcool1 they think they'll not be seen by flying high up but i can hear it coming from across the road i know right where it lands. Anyhow when they fly it by here again they'll see I've added onto our old deck and from what way it flys over they'll see the new deck is on they're right later on they'll see more new built deck on the left when they fly that bee sounding drone again. Another new thing they might see sometime maybe is a single line wood fence put up to block the neighbor's mail and plastic and paper trash from blowing in the back yard so then his trash can pile up all it wants on the outside of our backyard along the fence cause it will they'll see that adon to the shed will be redone also
roof space no fire rated down lights used,cheapest once anyway>Smoke detector and light distance min30 cm, and most important.....YOU NEED MIN 15x15CM CLEARANCE to ALL RECESSED LIGHT WITHIN INSULATION!!!! You left fire hazard on promo clip! Please do not respond to me that you had done it after hole drilling as its not possible in celotex. review sparks knowledge to part P regs.
But looks great. without a latter I'd need to make us some steep steps for our attic entrance way would have to be steep for were the entrance is plus the lack of space for were it's at I could make them in a square twist kinda like doing a puzzle then this way the steepness would be gone think that's how I'll do ours 4 steps then a square platform then 4 more steps from that to the entrance way would look good all done with wood and wood hand rail
Are you able to use your big lorries and cranes when the house is in a Victorian terrace with no rear access and a main road at the front? You 'pioneered' the steel fixing...?! Really?! Have you heard of Brunel? Not enough ceiling insulation. Flooring should be glued and screwed and plastering after second fix just shows how dodgy this is. I wouldn't mind having a close look at your work, give it the full once over.
This video is too short to mention all sorts of regulations and requirements, and it's directed at customers, after all, not builders. (That must be the smoke alarm at 9:10.)
2.35min Econloft pioneered this method of installing steel beams in sections and bolted together... what a joke, i know many structural engineers who have used this method for over 20 years. Pull the other one.
I'd rather have a go at it myself and save a lot of money, Builders these days are pricing themselves out of the game. Get someone in to do the jobs you can't and get them to sign the work off Gas/electrics.

Looks good, cleverly utilised space.
How much did it cost?
the commentary makes me smile

How much you spent on your attic in 5 weeks and could you recommend? I am in HA2
How did you get around fire regs? Shouldn't there be a fire door at the top or bottom of the new stairwell?
Good job! Only gripe is that radiator plumbed fitting looked rough, also why plaster into the skirting board. Drywall should be plastered to ground and then fit the skirting, architraves, faceplates etc.
Brilliant Loft conversion,really good workmanship, however those stairs look very steep.
That's a loft ladder
They were steep steps as she said those are they're steps I'm gonna make mine in a square. They bought steps already made I'm gonna make mine myself as i done for our deck outside

how was the dropped landing supported. I'm doing this in my own house and looking for the best solution for the dropped landing.
The loft has a gable wall on each side only about 4m apart max. Seems rather complicated to put in 3 steel supports across what is quite a small bridge, why not just use timber?

Because its added weight to that house framing I'd also go with wood
Yeah I don't get the ridge steel, seems like a completely unnecessary addition.
8:10 where can I get this special window which opens to the atmospherics of the passing clouds?
olixbob local building suppliers.
😂😂
Don’t forget “starry night sky“😂
Great vid and job, how come they plaster the whole wall and not just the joins over there?
One of the reasons of the war of 1812
what is the price of such project?
These fellas are absolutely amazing. Excellent workmanship.. I'm sure this company are very proud to have such fantastic expert skilled staff.
are you the boss sounds like it
How much does this type of single velux conversion cost? My loft is exactly the same as this.
Did you ever find out this information?
How much did that cost
Mine took 1 month cause I needed loads of sockat because it's now a gaming room where I do my gaming work
sockets is a matter of few hours not weeks mate.

This is true workmanship
Hi.econ team.what it is the cost to make complete attic?
Plastering after the 2nd fix?
no
What size are the beams?
Hi do you need to fix the timber to the top of the steel that the floor hangers are connected to ? and if so how do you fix them to the top of the steel ? many thanks
How much please?
The pitch on that roof looks to be a little low for a conversion only really suitable for kids to use.
Can you remove 4x1 vertical timber from a loft
No.. Def not.. Not for the DIY.. Get professionals..
Yes if you know what you're doing you can yourself but be really careful you know what your doing and don't rush things through
Would you be able to work in Watford?
how much do u charge
About 7 weeks to complete.
How much does it cost in total plz ? Tha
How much it cost to have it all done???
You have to look at the value of your house.. And area see if its worth it..
Absolutely and just because it can be done, doesn’t necessarily mean it should be done! Down here in UK / SE, stamp duty is so prohibitive that many people simply do this kind of work or have extensions built, as the cost can be the same as a move.
how hard is it to get planning permission for a dormer window conversion?
For dormers add another 3 k per dormer
About 5 hun to do the window ur self see what you do get up there check the stuff out cut frame do whatever you have to and get the new window in that's how you do it
What was the total cost of this job? It looks exactly like my loft
Richard Howard around 20-30K

How much did it cost?
For the job: £25,000
For the Council licensing: £9,780,000,
Them beams must kill the space. I have never seen anyone use them apart from new builds.
You certainly make it look easy, but if in doubt, people should try to bring in a professional loft conversion contractor to do the job properly
Oh its gonna get done the correct way I've already took out a old brick chimney that was hidden in a old roof attic in the new attic so I've upgraded our attic alot plus busted out all that old chimney that took a ton of extra weight off our floor in 3 rooms
But to get to that old chimney i first had to lay some flooring down to get to the old roof in the new attic so i could then take apart most of the old roof that was in the new attic so most of that is gone the other half is holding weight that i can see so I left that part on me doing all that stuff created a lot more attic space for us
Please expand to or open a branch company in Malaysia.
How much would a job like this cost.
Any chance for a free quote???
DIY for 5k,
Not a DIY job.. U need planning permission. And has to be inspected..

Always suspicious when a company repeatedly bangs-on and about how absolutely, wonderfully brilliant they are. Let the viewers decide for themselves!
'Suspicious' in what way? It's an undisguised advertisement, so you'd expect them to blow their own trumpet.

Depending on your requirements and specification but in the region of £30k
Hahaha what's economic about that? No chance that was worth 30 grand
whats a wc ?? water contraption ?
Water closet
how
Wow that installed was standing on plasterboard lucky he didn't fall through
No he wasn't
Why are they insulating the floor lol all the heat from downstairs will be prevented from coming up to the loft

No mention of an interconnected smoke alarm with all other floors and fire doors. This is a requirement for fire safety.
This video is too short to mention all sorts of regulations and requirements, and it's directed at customers, after all, not builders. (That must be the smoke alarm at 9:10.)
Smoke alarm to close to light
I can see many h&s regs not respected. Careful with what you put online and even more on your workers safety.
great video and, by the looks of things, a great firm too.
regards Mossbusterz Ltd ;)
They start from around £22,000 plans to final plaster

not bad for £5k job
2nd fix is defined as work after plastering, NOT before. Very shoddy work NOT to building regs. Get a proper company to do for you.
They did 2nd fix after plasterer
@@deadlevelwillie did you not watch the video, you numpty??? Plastering was done AFTER skirting and archs put on.
