Attic conversion - rough estimate

Firewalkwithme

Does anyone here have a rough idea of the cost involved in converting the attic of a standard 3 bed semi including say, two velux windows, a staircase up to the new room, electrics and relocating the existing water tanks in the attic.

I'm just looking for a guide price, maybe from someone who has done a similar job recently.

I had a guy in recently who quoted me 16-18k for an attic with a standard roof. If you have a hipped roof like most newer houses have it adds about 5k to the cost.

Hmm, more than I was expecting TBH. I don't really need to get it done so it's not a problem, I was thinking more along the lines of the value it would add to the house. Given those estimates, I don't think it would be worth doing.

Thanks for the info lads.

I was on 2 roof conversions recently, and both were 10,000 each.

One included proper manufactured stair case, full attic conversion joinery with 2 rooms, doors, casings etc, mini landing, relocating tanks, plumbing for new rads, on-suite in one room, 2 velux windows, wiring, plastering, painting, skip for removing waste.

It was expertly done and I thought it was certainly low price, the other one had all this but one room, spurious stira stairs, cladding instead of plaster and extra for skip.

Hi Pocari,

On the lookout for someone to do a conversion on a detatched bungalow...

PM me your details if you are interested in having a look...
