How we dropped a ceiling by 300mm (and saved a client from a cowboy builder!) 🛑🏡
When it comes to loft conversions, head height is everything. But what do you do when the existing space just isn't tall enough?
For Peter's Kingston home, our surveyor Deepak explained the challenge: "The challenge here was to lower the entire ceiling by 300mm to achieve the required head height, whilst minimising disruption to the living quarters below."
Not only did the team pull off this major engineering feat seamlessly, but we also got there just in the nick of time. Peter was on the verge of signing with a notorious rogue builder before re-engaging with us.
Now, Peter and his son have a gorgeous, safe, and fully regulation-compliant loft room.
