Loft Conversions in Harrogate, Bingley and the Surrounding Areas
Preparing Your Attic for Renovation? Take Our Advice

So you’ve decided to clear out the attic and use it as a more practical part of your living arrangements. You may not realise it now but, going forward, you’ve added considerable value to your Harrogate or Bingley home, solved that frustrating storage issue, and created a new space which offers a wealth of design opportunities.

Loft conversions are one of the space-creating solutions our building contractors specialise in at Topspec Joinery & Construction Ltd - and we’re with you from design to completion. Property renovations of any kind are not for the faint-hearted; they take time, effort and sacrifice. There is always an end date in sight, but the journey there toward the perfect dormer conversion or mansard conversion can be arduous and stressful. Rest assured, however, that our professional building contractors strive to make the entire process as easy as possible.

Loft Remodels | Getting Ready

When did you last have a good look around the attic space in your Harrogate or Bingley home? Are you one of those people who just opens the door and shoves the Christmas tree back in?

It’s going to take a little preparation before you get to that new designer interior:



Dust

Never part of anyone’s weekly cleaning routine, the loft will be filled with dust mites. Topspec Joinery & Construction’s building contractors recommend wearing a mask and gloves whilst you’re emptying out the space, and put on protective eyewear. Masks are readily available, and gloves and eyewear can be purchased at any DIY store.



Cobwebs

They can’t be avoided so, if you have a phobia, get someone else to enter the loft first and clear any spiders and webs away. Home renovations, house extensions or loft conversions will disturb the surrounding environment so, once they’ve realised their habitat is under threat, spiders will venture out to relocate.



Bats

Bats are protected species and cannot be disturbed by law. That doesn’t mean Topspec Joinery & Construction’s loft remodels can’t go ahead if nests are discovered in Harrogate or Bingley homes, however. The Bat Conservation Trust will offer professional advice and can be contacted via the National Bat Helpline on 0345 1300228.



Heirlooms

Do you need to keep them all? Perhaps now is the time to go through each item and see if family members would like to take possession of them. If not, then why not consider donating them to charity? Or setting up your own stall at a local car boot sale? You never know, you might just have a hidden treasure.



However…

You should still be quite strict about what items you keep. Do you really need that wedding present that never came out of its box? Or will you ever use that exercise machine which was only half price when you bought it? Can you even remember when that was? Loft conversions can’t happen until you clear the space.
