The turnaround time will be dependent on the specifications of the project and any other variables they may encounter throughout the different building stages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How Much Will A Loft Conversion Cost?<\/h3>\n<p>The cost of a loft conversion can start from \u00a310,000 upwards, depending on factors such as; the size of the space, whether a bathroom will be fitted, and where in the UK the work will be done etc. The exact cost will be determined after an assessment of your property, and an initial meeting will be set up to discuss the requirements you would like for your loft conversion.<\/p>\n<p>At Market Design &amp; Build, they carry out the project in stages and provide you with a weekly payment schedule. Should any additional work be required, you will be notified in advance of any extra costs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Will I Need Planning Permission?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A loft conversion does not usually require any planning permission. However, if you are extending or altering the roof space and it exceeds a specific building regulation limit, you will need to acquire a permit.<\/p>\n<p>Please see this website for more information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.planningportal.gov.uk\/permission\/\">www.planningportal.gov.uk\/permission<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Is My Loft Suitable For A Conversion?<\/h3>\n<p>We believe that all lofts can be converted within reason, no matter the size. A thorough assessment first needs to be conducted to ensure that your loft conversion is both suitable and cost-effective for you. The success of any build will depend on what your requirements are for the new space. Hiring an experienced company for this project allows them to set realistic expectations for your project and give you the best advice on how to proceed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarketdesignbuild.com\/contact.html\">Contact us<\/a> them\u00a0today to arrange a consultation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Address: 320 High Street, Harlington, Hayes, UB3 5DU<\/p>\n<p>Telephone: 02037155892, 02034325269<\/p>\n<p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:info@themarketdesignbuild.com\">info@themarketdesignbuild.com<\/a>, <a href=\"mailto:designteam@themarketdesignbuild.com\">designteam@themarketdesignbuild.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit our website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themarketdesignbuild.com\/\">https:\/\/www.themarketdesignbuild.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Market Design &amp; Build is one of the leading companies for home and loft conversions in London.
