Line Out Loft Conversions
Line Out Style or Velux Only Loft conversions
A Line Out or Velux only style loft conversion as it is sometimes referred as can be one of the most cost effective ways to convert your existing roof space as it doesn't require any external structural amendments to the roof or major scaffold requirements.
The new rooms are constructed solely within your existing roof space and are generally carried out on properties that already have a high roof line or have enough roof space to walk around in before any of the work has started, if you have a house with a trussed roof then imagine the roof space without any of the central truss cords in it and if you can still stand up and move between the truss cords it is highly likely a line out conversion will be possible, generally newer property with truss roofs have a higher roof line than some of the older properties.
Line Out style conversions are some of the most interesting loft conversions we do as the huge variety of different Velux window options that are available now means that you can make amazing features in the rooms and let an unprecedented amount of natural light in to all areas and the very clever Solar Powered options available that open via an App on your phone become a bit of a talking point!
As the new rooms are created within the slopes of the existing roof it is critical to get the design right to make sure the new staircase works perfectly and there is enough headroom for shower enclosures and doors to work properly and this is where our skilled team of expert loft designers will make sure the new internal structure required takes up no more room than is necessary and will help you make all of the right decisions with the layout.
Our photo gallery in this case study shows some of the various different Velux options available and there are other ways of letting light in by introducing pitched roof dormer windows in to the design.
Testimonials
The team at Oxon Conversions changed our life. It may seem a bit of an overstatement, but the results speak for themselves. From the moment Greg first visited and listened to our requirements for our extension, the process was made to feel simple and easy. The design & planning process seemed effortless, with Greg taking our ideas and turning them into reality, whist making recommendations on the layout and structure, all the time being mindful of our budget.
From day 1 of the build, Ian and the team worked tirelessly to make the plans a reality, again making suggestions during the build to help us achieve the best results for our budget. The build took a total of 12 weeks and we were kept informed of progress almost on a daily basis.
Ian also helped us by making recommendations during the build that have given us the WOW factor in our house, that we don't believe most architects would provide, let alone builders.
The team worked tirelessly to keep to the schedule, and were always very clean, tidy and mindful, ensuring minimal disruption to not only our house, but also were mindful of the neighbours. They were the epitome of professionalism at all times, courteous and respectful to everyone in the street.
We cannot recommend them enough and as I said at the start, the results speak for themselves.
We met with the team from Oxon when all we had was an idea and a budget.
Having had a couple of building projects in the past we wanted to ensure we had the right contractor to work with as we had a strict deadline to work towards.
We gave a brief of 2 additional bedrooms for the upstairs and more open plan living downstairs. We loved the design and then the project ran seamlessly and to anticipated timetable.
Onsite team were always polite and far more tidy than we had been used to with previous builders which was important as we were still living in the property at the time.
Genuine 5 star review and would recommend to anyone.
Their quote may not be the cheapest but their work for us was excellent. Three things stood out; (1) The job was on time and on budget never an attempt to sneak in extras just clear high quality work. (2) The professional nature of the outfit; dealing with them is always straight-forward, clear and fair. (3) The ease of post job continuing care, not that we have had any issues (in fact we wanted to use their contractors for a small extra job) but they are easy to get hold of and deal rapidly with my queries.
In short I am well impressed!
True professionals in every way. Ours was a sizeable job, converting a loft into two double bedrooms and a large bathroom, as well as work on the second floor to create an additional bathroom. From beginning to end Greg, Woody and the team were first class. They handled the applications to the Council based on their professionally developed drawings, provided a clear and realistic timetable, were always punctual and diligent, added a lot of value in making suggestions along the way and the finished product is really superb.
Having worked with different building firms, Oxon Conversions is head and shoulders above any others and a breath of fresh air - trustworthy, professional craftsmen. Proud of their work and the legacy they leave on your home. An absolute pleasure to work with.
The work of Oxon Conversions was excellent but what sets this business apart is consistently high standards of communication, attention to detail and reliability. The paperwork at the outset of the project was excellent, enabling us to understand what we could expect at each stage. This included a transparent staged payment schedule which was kept to. This was our first building project but the ease with which it progressed exceeded our expectations. All employees are very well managed by Greg and Ian and produce work of a consistently high quality. They were all pleasant to have around and respectful of our home.
