oooo this is very intriguing - i know it's a bit of a 'how long is a piece of string' type question - but is this likely to be a fair bit cheaper than a full loft conversion assuming it's done to a similar spec?
-
OH you would just have to share things like that...
Looks super interesting though! What size is that Velux? UK10? -
My dream is to go up into the loft, use some of it for storage but mainly open up the ceilings, maybe get a mezzanine over the stairs or something, definitely get an openable rooflight over the landing for summer ventilation. It's a kind of idle musing that comes way down on the list after insulation, fixing the bathroom, kitchen etc. I worry about moving the thermal line to the rafters and fucking up the roof. This looks great - keep us posted.
-
is that an example of the horror story spray-on insulation in the rafters?
-
Wow, interesting idea, but zero privacy for anyone?
-
Why has he decided to utterly fuck the roof with the spray on insulation though?
[Edit] Playing post catch-up
I'm no builder / engineer etc. but I don't see how there's going to be sufficient airflow under the roof if there is spray foam, blanket and PIR. Seem like it could cause damp problems.
The use of available space seems like a fun idea though.

For those with small houses / tight lofts - here's what my old man is doing to his morally reprehensible second home at the moment. Knocking out the ceiling over the front bedroom and making a mezzanine space above the rear. probably work quite well for family stays etc. Many lolz about rinsing the inheritance and all that... ok boomer.
