• Starting to talk about a loft extension.

    • 1950s two story semi
    • would need a gable building up on one side
    • no idea how to deal with the stairscase we have one of those funny recessed stairs into one of the rooms.


    Where do we start?

    Do you get one of those all in one firms round to work out ideas? In which case is it a soup-to-nuts affair, or do you still need to get an architect?

    Our main question is how to deal with the stairscase, as that decides whether we loose a bedroom on the first floor, which decides what we need upstairs.

  • Because of that big landing you could shift the whole staircase backwards to meet the bathroom wall and wind the top of the stairs so they come up and a right angle. That could give enough room to get the new stairs in and keep the front bedroom.

    Depends what downstairs is like though.
