Loft and Attic Conversions
A Loft Conversion is typically a quick and efficient, cost saving way to increase existing living space while having a quick construction programme. Many options for Loft and Attic conversions fall within permitted development and require less time for lengthy approvals and saving you from the process of a full planning application.
However, building control and building warrant requirements apply.
Read our guidance on building warrant approvals on our website or contact our team for further information. The design team has vast experience from simple attic conversions with single velux window to full scale complex balcony and full length dormer conversions.
Garden Rooms and Home Offices
Garden rooms and Homes offices are becoming increasingly popular for people who work from home. There is a increasing trend of adding additional work space which is separate from the property, with minimal to no disruption to your existing house.
A workplace within home increase your productivity and allows you to work from the comfort of your home.
Our team can help you achieve the perfect workspace.
Basement Conversions
Where space is valuable and in short supply a basement conversion maybe the best option to add more space and value to your exiting property.
Typically, there is an underbuilding structure below buildings. This space can be claimed by digging through into the soils below.
Our inhouse engineers are experienced in temporary works design, shoring and all requirements for basement works.
The architect working along side the engineer from the onset is the best formula for a successful basement project which is what Lead Design Studios provide.
Our team is on hand to help in all technicalities such as waterproofing, insulation, retention, and necessary consents to make your project a reality.
