    Howdy

    Has anyone got their attic floored?

    I did a half assed job on mine a few years ago but i'd like to get it done properly. I have a 3 bed end of terrace house, if someone could give me a steer on cost that would be great, feel free to PM me if you feel its more of a private thing. Also, did you do it yourself or get a carpenter.

    Thanks for looking :)

    If you're just putting down chipboard and makin a storage area, I suppose no harm done. But in order for it to be planning compliant the new floor has too be steel supported. i had my EOT done with window and stairs. About 23k. A nice little room too.

    What's an EOT ?
    I'm not talking a full on room conversion, more just an area thats for storage and thats safe to walk on.

    Thanks, just out of interest, did you change the shape of the roof? I was wondering if that would be necessary to get a bit more head room

    23k - is it for habitable area I assume? - Do you have some pictures ?

    unlikely habitable if roof is hipped in 3-bed end-of.

    23k for a storage seems excessive

    sounds nice, so you did the steel beams, perhaps replaced all internal doors in the dwelling with new fire-retardant doors, wired new fire system to all floor levels (ground, first and attic),
    just one thing bothers me what height is your grand sized room?
