How long will a loft conversion take?

Hip to gables are the faster loft conversions to complete on average, with dormer taking the second longest, and mansard loft conversions being the overall longest to complete from start to construction to finish. Our builders in Manchester have completed many, and we can give an accurate timescale for each loft conversion project. Mansard loft conversions are the largest conversions to complete, and take the longest to complete from start to finish. They can take anywhere from 6 – 12 weeks to complete construction, with the average mansard taking on average 8 weeks to complete within the city of Manchester. This includes from the start of planning to construction of the mansard itself. The mansard conversion itself could take longer to complete depending on the overall size of the extension itself. For hip to gable loft conversions, the timescale for completion is much faster. They take anywhere from 3 – 6 weeks to complete from planning to construction, and they take 5 weeks to complete. These are must faster than most conversion options, and 5 weeks could still be considered a longer hip to gable conversion. Dormer loft conversions in the city of Manchester take 6 weeks to complete on average from the start of planning to the completion of construction. However, they could realistically take anywhere between 4 – 8 weeks to complete depending on the size and scope of the project. Manchester Builders & Construction have completed many loft conversions within the city of Manchester, and these averages are the most accurate that you would find elsewhere.

How much does a loft conversion cost?

Mansard, hip to gable and dormer loft conversions all range in price largely due to the sizes and work of the projects themselves, meaning the price of a loft conversion can cost anywhere between £16,000 - £50,000 to complete. Mansard loft conversions are the largest loft conversion type, and they can cost £30,000 - £50,000 to complete depending on the size extensions that are required, and the conversion itself. The average mansard loft conversion in Manchester would cost £35,000 to complete since many of the projects we have provided did not need to extend too far. The more additional space you need to extend and the more rooms that you would like to create, the higher the cost. Hip to gable loft conversions require the least construction of all loft conversion projects, and simply maximise the current space within the loft itself. These can cost anywhere between £16,000 - £25,000 to complete efficiently and effectively, with the average in Manchester costing £20,000 to complete. The cost of hip to gable loft conversions in Manchester often rise due to the additions and fixtures you may want to be installed. A dormer loft conversion is the final loft conversion alternative, which can both utilise the current space within the loft itself, and create a small extension to create additional space. These can cost anywhere between £20,000 - £35,000 to complete, and on average a dormer loft conversion would cost £27,000 within the city of Manchester.

How much does a home extension cost in Manchester?

Home extensions within the city of Manchester are not as expensive as some home owners may first believe. Although there is much construction and decoration work to be completed with a home extension, the average cost for the extension within the city of Manchester can cost anywhere between £1,500 - £2,500 per m2. This makes it a cheaper alternative to other conversion or extension options such as basement or loft conversions. Our builders in Manchester have completed many home extension projects since we have been in practice, and this is the average price we have encountered with our customers. The average cost for the home extension within the city of Manchester would be closer to £18,500 for an average sized, one storey extension. These extensions would be to create an additional room within the ground floor of your home. If you are looking to create an extension with two different floors, then you would be looking for a larger investment of £28,000 on average within the city of Manchester. The home extension could be cheaper or costlier depending on the overall size and the scope of the project itself.

How long does a home extension take in Manchester?

If you are a home owner who wishes to extend their home by an additional one floor with one room, then you could expect the project to take 6 – 12 weeks, with the average one room extension taking 8 weeks in the city of Manchester. If you are considering a two-storey extension within your home, then you would be looking closer to a 15-week project within the city of Manchester. Manchester Builders & Construction have completed many of these projects within the city of Manchester and the surrounding areas, and these are the most common timescales we have faced on average.

Manchester Builders & Construction

Manchester Builders & Construction have become the specialists in home building and commercial building in Manchester and the surrounding areas! Salford, Stretford, Pendlebury, Failsworth, Droylsden, Prestwich, Swinton, Eccles, Trafford, Withington, Rusholme, Moston, Cheetham Hill and Burnage and many others. Our work is diverse and exciting, being able to deliver on projects from new buildings to loft conversions and even basement conversions for your property or home. Since we have been around for so long as a company, we have worked on and completed so many projects around the Manchester, United Kingdom area, assisting customers on whatever dreams they would like to come true.

Manchester Builders have turned lofts into spare bedrooms for children or just to rent on sites such as Airbnb, and converted basements for the use of hobbies and interests such as a gaming room or home theatres. When working on basements and lofts, we don’t just empty out your rooms but instead Manchester Builders & Construction rebuild and refurbish them to the standards and requirements that you wish. Manchester Builders & Construction also have a creative team of employees who are creative and designers themselves, always willing to lend a hand.

Average time scale of a new house or home build?

Again, it is difficult to give an exact estimation without any information, but the average we would take to build a home for you from start to finish is from three to four months. However, if your home design is very large, we could take up to six months. However, the benefit of working with us is that Manchester Builders & Construction will be able to give you an exact quote and stick to it, also while giving you updates while the project is underway whenever you would like. So please get into contact with us if you would like any information, have any questions or want a consultation with the best builders in Manchester!

General timescale of a loft conversion and basement conversion?

The timescales for these conversions usually depend on the size of the jobs and what you would like us to do for the rooms. With loft conversions, it would take an average of 6-12 weeks with most projects taking 10 weeks on average. This includes from the initial examinations and calculations to the construction, completion and furnishings of the home itself. When it comes to basement conversions, some jobs can take as quickly as 4-5 weeks if it is a small conversion. On average however, it would take us 16-24 weeks to completely convert a basement from the start to finishing’s of the project even with the builders in Manchester. Since the projects will take an extended amount of time, we ensure that each one of our employees is professional, kind and friendly throughout the process so you feel as comfortable as possible.

Prices of a basement or loft conversion?

Depending with what building company that you decide to work with, these can be incredibly costly. Luckily, Manchester Builders offer a very competitive rate for our customers since we know what Manchester Builders & Construction wouldn’t be lucky enough to be here if it was for you. The prices are generally high for a number of reasons however. The materials and labour cost for some jobs can be quite costly depending on what you would like us to create, but our prices are below average to the standards in the Manchester, England area and the industry as a whole. There is an upside to spending these costs for you however. When you create new rooms or storage spaces out of your lofts and basements, the prices of your property and home significantly increases. If you are interested in the prices it would cost for what you would like us to do, please just give us a call and Manchester Builders & Construction can have a chat and book a non-obligation consultation with you to work out the finer points. Manchester Builders would also be able to give you some more information on the benefits to using our services on your home, and on the value of your property.

Timescales & costs for new house builds and loft & basement conversions

It is difficult for us at Manchester Builders & Construction to give you the exact cost of a new home build just because of the number of variables that come into a quotation. The price will differ largely depending if you would like one floor or three. The labour and materials costs will greatly vary but one promise that we can give you as a company is that we will offer you lower than any other builder company in the Manchester, United Kingdom area. Please give us a call if you would like estimation, and if any other builders have offered you an estimation that is lower (which is unlikely) Manchester Builders promise to go below even that!

If you have a huge space just sitting on the top of your property, then of course you can convert it into a useful room with us builders in Manchester! You can even turn it into a storage space or just a fun room for your home if you would like to chill out! Why would you have a potential whole new room sitting at the top of your property going untouched? It could be turned into a child’s or adult’s bedroom which would help increase the value of your property significantly.

You can create a room in your loft that leads in natural light using skylights or elegant windows, and create a comfortable and cosy room to read or study in. You could create a sleek and stylish office for you to even work in. Some even prefer to turn their lofts into a home cinema, blocking as much natural light as possible while also adding furniture which suits a dark, leathery look. Any potential designs or ideas are possible if you have a loft and a roof that allows extra space if necessary, even with the best builders in Manchester.

Just the same with the loft, you can of course convert your basement into a room that suits your needs. While some prefer to make a bedroom out of their lofts, you could also do the same using your basement. The only factor that would stop you from converting your basement into a bedroom or a hobbies room filled with table-top games or a video game room is your personal preference. Others like to create the usable room out of their lofts and instead create a storage space using their basements for practicality.

If you have a general idea of what you would like to use your basement for, Manchester Builders can set up furniture, new lighting fixtures and heating systems and any other request that you may have. Just get into contact with us here at Manchester Builders and we can have a no obligation chat! We service all areas of Manchester, England including Salford, Stretford, Pendlebury, Failsworth, Droylsden, Prestwich, Swinton, Eccles, Trafford, Withington, Rusholme, Moston, Cheetham Hill and Burnage among others.

Why Manchester Builders & Construction cares for your new build vision

Here at Manchester Builders & Construction, we have become the premier specialists in converting lofts in the Manchester, United Kingdom area. This is a service Manchester Builders & Construction provide for Manchester, England and areas such as Droylsden, Failsworth, Swinton, Eccles, Prestwich, Stretford, Salford and more. But we don’t just offer loft, garage and basement conversions.

Manchester Builders also offer entirely new property builds and even property renovations. If necessary, we can renovate specific rooms instead of the entire property like your kitchen or bathroom. Since we are experts in both large and small-scale services, if you know what you need us to do, Manchester Builders & Construction are more than able to do so for you.

Manchester Builders have also gained enough experience and completed enough building services to call ourselves some of the best builders in the entirety of the United Kingdom. That is because we can offer both a reliable service for our customers and a trustworthy handling of budget and resources that will still make your vision come to life. There has been a resurgence with new commercial builds and new residential builds within the last 15 years, with some areas receiving a ten-fold increase in building plans.

With the revolution of other industries and markets, there is also a large increase in the build of commercial properties used for companies or for rental. Both are services that Manchester Builders have gained many years’ experience in providing, and we personally believe that we are able to both design and construct a new building that will stand out from the others, while also standing the test of time as we are the best builders in Manchester.

The increasing popularity of conversion services

One of the main things we have noted within our recent years in the trade are the increasingly popular conversions for lofts, basements and garages. With families continuing to grow or newer families taking space, the lack of space within people’s properties start to become an issue. That causes homeowners to look elsewhere for extra living space for bedrooms or other rooms over time. With the property market becoming increasingly more expensive, people have begun to convert their lofts or basements into another bedroom.

Sadly, it does not seem as if the housing prices will drop anytime soon, and it also seems as if these services may begin to become costlier with the UK exiting the European Union. That is why it is important to complete this work now, before the costs outweigh the benefits. Luckily with us, we only use locally sourced materials and labourers, meaning our prices will not increase along with everyone else’s. This is just one of the pledges that we make to ensure that the local community of Manchester, UK and the surrounding area does not suffer needlessly. While other building & construction companies may decide to raise their prices, and continue to hire away from the area, we will ensure that our jobs and profits will stay within the Manchester, England region and back into the community.

The conversions to your garage, basement and loft will also be taken as great care as the community. As we understand that these could be your kid’s bedrooms or your personal space, we find it our duty to make sure the conversions are as safe, practical and comfortable as possible. The money and investment that you are placing into the conversion should be used to the efficiency that is respected. This is something that we will ensure to provide you, as we stake our reputation on being builders in Manchester that deserve respect. So, if you are looking for a Builders & Construction company in the Manchester, United Kingdom area for any conversion needs, then just give us a call now at 01614100526 or fill out the form at the top of the screen!

Property renovations

Here at Manchester Builders & Construction, we offer a professional, efficient and responsible property renovation service for all customers within the Manchester area. We feel we have at our disposal the best builders Manchester should offer. We have been providing our renovation services for those within the area for several years and have come to build a strong understanding of customers wants and needs, while also being able to take full advantage and use of the knowledge we have learnt. We understand that different customers have different needs, requirements and requests and no project Is the same as the other. That is why we ensure to treat each project and customer with the same care and attention to detail as we would any other. We feel it is important for us as a company to ensure that the customer is completely happy with the service they have received, and we will ensure you receive the same.

Cost of a renovation

The cost of a renovation is dependent on several different factors. The most important factor that is relevant within a property renovation is the amount of raw materials that would be necessary to complete your project for any builders in Manchester. If you plan to remodel your home along with the renovation then the price will obviously increase due to the raw materials required. If a remodelling is not necessary but it is necessary to renovate the structure itself that may also increase the overall budget and costs of the renovation. The square foot of the renovation zone is also a prevalent factor within the cost of a renovation, since the more space that needs to be renovated, the more labour costs that are involved. Due to these factors, a renovation can cost anywhere from £20,000 - £100,000. On average, a property renovation would cost £20,000 - £35,000. Measurements and requirements would be necessary before a more specific and tailor-made quote can be given for any property renovation. This would be the same for any builders in Manchester.

Another important thing to note about a property renovation is the specifics that you would like included. With a property renovation, the new design usually requires specific additions and fixtures within each room, meaning the overall budget would automatically inflate. If this is something you would like to make us aware of, Manchester Builders & Construction can help you with any part of the selection process for those fixtures or additions. Some may be more personal items that we would have little to no involvement with, so Manchester Builders & Construction would suggest not including it within the renovation project budget unless you plan to budget the renovation with the finished room design too.

How long does a renovation take?

The timescale of a renovation can also be hard to judge when factoring in potential issues that may arise during the project itself, and the overall size and room count of the renovation. If you plan to renovate your entire home for example, the overall timescale of the renovation would increase. If you decide to simply renovate two rooms the entire length of the renovation drastically decreases. The average timescale of a home renovation can take 4 to 8 months altogether depending on the size of the project. The average timescale for a partial home renovation can be 2 to 4 months overall depending on the amount of rooms and the square foot that needs renovating. This can also fluctuate depending on additions, fixtures and any last-minute changes that might occur during the project itself. Even with the best builders in Manchester, it still will not be any faster.

Home Extensions

Often, we are asked by customers within the Manchester area to provide extensions both upwards and outwards, and this is a service that we have provided since we have formed as a company. Manchester Builders & Construction have built a trustworthy reputation as the best builders Manchester offer for home extensions due to our attention to detail and our master craftsmanship. Manchester Builders & Construction have provided extensions for many customers and we have garnered years of experience and knowledge of the service itself that we use to ensure the best possible job. Extensions can be both expensive, time consuming and most commonly stressful for customers to experience, which is why we try to make the whole process as smooth and efficient as possible. If you are extending your home, it would require a large financial investment, as well as an investment of your time. Therefore, you would want to ensure a large return of investment within the extension. This is something we can guarantee to provide for you.

Extension outwards or upwards?

One of the important things to note when extending your home is whether you would like to extend your home outwards or upwards. Both options provide several benefits depending on your needs and the layout of your home itself. Some of the many benefits of extending your home outwards are that it would be cheaper than to extend upwards due to not necessarily needing to extend or reconstruct the roof, and it would also mean you have more space within the side of your home if you already have a loft that has been converted.

The only issue with an extension is that it works mainly with a detached or semi-detached home, as a terraced home may not have the necessary space. Likewise, an upwards extension means you would need to worry less about whether it is practical to extend your home in relation to size restrictions, but if you have a loft that has yet to be converted, then it may make more sense to simply convert your loft. It would also be more expensive to carry out the extension upwards.

Since Manchester Builders personally believe we are the best builders Manchester offer, we can assure you either option is completely achievable for us. Whether you would like to extend upwards or outwards, we can guarantee structurally sound construction.

Why should I get a home extension?

Apart from the obvious advantages in the extra space that is may provide your home, you should also note the return of investment that it can provide. The property value of your home automatically increases the larger your home is, especially if the space itself is usable living space. While some rooms provide a larger increase within your property value, most rooms will ensure that despite how much time and money you may invest, you would be able to make the costs back and extra. If you are looking to grow your family and need the extra space or if you are looking to sell your home further down the line, an extension will be one of the most efficient ways to do so.

If need to extend your home and living space, then you should think about getting an extension. Here at Manchester Builders & Construction, we are the best builders Manchester offer for home extension needs. We service the city of Manchester as the best builders in Manchester in surrounding areas such as Salford, Stretford, Pendlebury, Failsworth, Droylsden, Prestwich, Swinton, Eccles, Trafford, Withington, Rusholme, Moston, Cheetham Hill and Burnage and others.
