The first stage of construction is getting the scaffold erected usually 1-2 days before the project is due to start.
Stage 2
We will create an opening in your roof for access into the loft space causing minimal disruption to your home.

Insulation and fire protection is then put in place.
We will then fit the new floor joists which are totally independent of the existing ceiling and the floor boarding is the then secured.
Once the floor is in place we upgrade the existing rafters put in any ridge beams and secure the whole roof structure.
