Is your home bursting at the seams? Feel a little claustrophobic in your own home? If you’re only considering a house extension or moving only to snag some extra space, hang tight. There might be a simpler, savvier solution right above your head – an attic conversion!
Why choose an attic conversion over moving or a house extension?
Here are three reasons why we (and our customers, just check out our Google reviews!) love attic conversions:
1. Attic conversions are the more convenient option
Compared to the hassle of moving or the dust and noise from building extensions, attic conversions can be completed with relatively little disruption to your daily life.
2. House extensions and moving can be more expensive than making the most of the home you’re in
Extending your home laterally or moving to a new house involves significant expenses such as construction costs, stamp duty, and real estate commissions—all of which can add up quickly. On the other hand, converting your attic utilises space that’s already part of your home’s structure. This is often a more cost-effective option and means you don’t have to sacrifice your yard space!
3. Attics are super handy!
Even a basic attic storage conversion can make your home feel larger and more organised. By moving rarely used items out of common areas, you free up valuable space throughout your house.
Attic room ideas
Attics are often underutilised spaces relegated to storing boxes of holiday decorations and old clothes. However, with a bit of creativity and planning, the sky’s the limit!
Your attic can transform into almost any type of room you need:
- Storage areas: Simple conversions can provide organized spaces for items that clutter other parts of your home
- Home offices or studies: Quiet, secluded, and away from the household hustle—perfect for work or study
- Extra bedrooms: Ideal for growing families or hosting guests
- Music rooms or studios: Soundproofed retreats for artists
- Playrooms: Safe and fun spaces for kids to play away from the main living areas
How do I know if my attic can be converted?
To remove any guesswork, we offer an obligation-free consultation to assess your attic’s potential and provide tailored advice. In the meantime, here are some key factors to consider include:
- Roof cavity height: This determines what type of conversion is possible—from a basic storage area to a full deluxe conversion with ample headroom.
- Obstructions: Elements like ducted air conditioning units can impact the usable space. Relocating such systems might be possible but comes with additional costs.
