FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you turn a loft into a proper hobby room, not just storage?
Yes. A hobby room goes further than boarding for storage, it's insulated, finished, lit and built to actually spend time in, whether that's a train set, an art studio, a home gym corner, or somewhere to get away from the rest of the house. Lofty Solution's Hobby Rooms start from £9,995, with every space quoted individually since layouts vary so much.
What's the difference between a hobby room and a loft conversion?
A hobby room sits between storage and a full conversion. It's finished, insulated and usable, but it's not built to full habitable-room building regulations the way a bedroom or bathroom conversion is. If you need somewhere to legally sleep or need it classed as an extra bedroom, that's a full conversion project, a different job entirely.
Will a hobby room affect my insulation or heating bills?
Done properly, no, if anything it improves things. Extra roof and wall insulation is part of the job, along with vented roof tiles to stop condensation building up, so the space stays comfortable and your home doesn't lose extra heat through it.
How much does a loft hobby room cost?
From £9,995. Because every hobby room is different, room size, finish, electrics, flooring, exact pricing is confirmed at your free survey rather than fixed like the storage packages.
Do I need planning permission for a loft hobby room?
In most cases, no, loft hobby rooms are usually classed as permitted development, the same as loft storage. Every property is different though, so this gets confirmed properly during your free survey rather than assumed.
How long does a hobby room installation take?
Longer than a standard boarding job, since it involves insulation, finished walls and flooring rather than just a boarded floor. Timescales depend on the size and finish you want, your free survey will give you an accurate timeframe for your specific project.
Is a hobby room covered by the same warranty as loft storage?
Yes, hobby rooms are backed by the same lifetime guarantee as the rest of Lofty Solution's work.
What's included in a loft hobby room?
Roof and wall insulation, vented roof tiles, solid finished walls and flooring, lighting and power fitted by a qualified electrician, and all waste removed and recycled. The exact spec depends on what you're using the room for, discussed properly at your survey.
