MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOME
10th September 2004

WHEN it comes to needing more space in your home there are only a few options available; you can move to a bigger property or extend or modify your existing one.
Many people are perfectly happy with their houses and may have spent several years adapting them to suit their needs. Planning a move, and all the disruption that involves, is often the furthest thing from their minds.
That leaves the option of finding different ways to use the space you already have available. You might choose to build a conservatory or extension but if you don’t want to sacrifice any of your garden or patio area, then converting your loft could be the ideal option.
Roof space is one of the most under-valued parts of the home and is generally used purely as an unseen storage room. A conversion will open up a whole host of new possibilities to make much more effective use of the extra space.
Carrying out a conversion is not a project to be approached lightly but there is plenty of expert help available to guide you along the way. It’s well worth paying a visit to your local builders’ merchants for useful advice and information.
Outlets such as Lincoln-based Jackson Building Centres stock everything you’ll need for the job including staircases, loft ladders, plumbing and heating equipment, insulation products, flooring and roof windows. Highly trained staff are also available at each branch to advise on issues ranging from planning and building regulations to access and ventilation.
Whether you want to turn your attic into an extra bedroom, a study, playroom or even a bath or shower room, Jackson’s will be able to provide products and solutions to meet your requirements. When all the structural work has been completed, your builders’ merchants is also a good port of call when the time comes to put together the finishing touches. You’ll find an impressive range of decorating products and tools to help you create the perfect look for your new room.
Jackson’s advises customers to take their time over such an important project to ensure that the end result is exactly what they hoped for.
Jackson’s marketing manager Colin Bartleet said: “Whatever type of conversion you have in mind, it’s vital to plan each stage of the project carefully and to make sure you’re aware of the relevant regulations. Our experienced staff will be able to answer your questions and point you in the right direction for any additional help you may need."
To find out more about loft conversions, call into your local Jackson’s branch where you can pick up an information leaflet and take the first step towards planning your new-look loft.
