Adding a Room in the Roof in Prestongrange
George Herkes & Son Joinery (Est. 1989), a family run joinery firm based in Tranent, East Lothian, covers loft conversion in Prestongrange and the rest of East Lothian. The existing roof decides the conversion: rooflights for a cut roof with good ridge height, a dormer for a shallow pitch, hip to gable for an end house.
When is a dormer or hip to gable the answer?
The roof you already have decides the type. Where the ridge is high and the roof is cut with purlins, rooflights are often enough. George Herkes & Son Joinery (Est. 1989) gives you the answer at the first visit.
On a low pitch, a dormer creates the floor area the slope takes away. Hip to gable rebuilds the sloping end, which suits many end houses. It costs more effort and gives a far more usable space.
Can you fit internal doors yourself?
You can, if you are handy with a plane, a chisel and a level. The difficult parts are scribing the door to a lining that is out of square, letting the copyrights in cleanly and getting the latch to meet the keep. A door trimmed too far cannot be put back, so measure the lining at the head and at the floor first.
In what order is a loft conversion built?
Structure and weatherproofing come first, so the roof is open no longer than it has to be. The stair follows, then first fix, then the finishing joinery. The sequence and the timing are given with the quote.
