Where to Put Stairs for a Loft Conversion?
There are a few options to choose from when it comes to loft stairs. This can even include building loft stairs over your existing stairs. This acts as a great option if you are looking to save as much space as possible. It also helps to create a more symmetrical aesthetic for your home’s layout.
However, for some houses, this is not possible due to a lack of space or structural limitations. If this is the case, a better option would be to take space out of a section of a current room. It is recommended that you do so in a room that is rarely used, or in your largest room so the impact is less apparent. If space is something you’re conscious of, at Loft Centre, we provide quality spiral staircases and space saving staircases that not only save space but look stylish.
Space saver staircases may be used, but only if your loft will be serving as a single room. They are more compact and ideal for houses with limited space. However, this option is less favoured by building regulation inspectors, so should be seen as a last resort. These types of staircases require a handrail on both sides due to the alternated treads.
How Much Does it Cost to Fit Loft Stairs For a Conversion?
The likelihood is that a fitting of loft stairs will be included in the overall loft conversion cost. This can range anywhere from £20,000 to £70,000 depending on the type of conversion and the area you live in. Check out our full guide on loft conversion costs here.
As an individual element, loft staircases from Loft Centre are priced anywhere between £200 to £2,000 depending on material and style. The cost to then fit the stairs is subject to what company you hire and again the area you live in.
