A proprietary system for timber-framed homes

According to its presentation, Loft Pro developed the Joist End Support system eight years ago, designed to facilitate loft conversions in timber-framed homes with truss roofs. This system is one of the technical hallmarks that the company highlights in its profile.

Design, planning and full project management

The company structures its offering into several phases covering the entire process, from initial advice to final handover:

• Advice and quotation: sales meeting with expert advice and provision of designs and quotations at no cost.
• Technical services: in-house CAD specialists handle the planning application when required, produce the full set of plans with construction details and create 3D images and virtual walkthrough animations of the loft.
• Project management: assessment of the property's conditions, scaffolding erection and organisation of materials and labour.
• Customer care: pre-start meeting at the client's home, agreement of final details and signing of contracts, regular inspections with progress reports and sign-off meeting.

The company also offers management of planning approval and building control, with qualified experts who know the administrative process.

Types of projects and examples of work

Among the examples of conversions shown by the company are a detached timber frame conversion, a cinema loft, a city hideaway, a farmhouse conversion, walk-in wardrobes, glass balconies, mid-terrace lofts, Velux windows, a full kitchen extension, re-truss staircases and a new build house. The company offers virtual tours of some of these projects.

Bespoke design and loft options

Loft Pro approaches design as a process open to multiple possibilities. A standout example on its website incorporates four metres of aluminium sliding doors offering panoramic views of the surroundings. The company also mentions the installation of walk-in wardrobes and the integration of bedrooms, bathrooms, en-suites, playrooms or studies, according to the client's needs.

Accreditations and industry standards

The company states that it holds accreditations that help maintain standards across the building sector and that, according to its presentation, allow it to deliver the best quality loft conversions.
