Complete Loft Conversion and Roof Refurbishment with Solar Panels in St Albans

Stepped lead valley gutter and newly installed solar panels by Salla Construction on a slate roof, part of a loft conversion in St Albans.

Project Goals: Enhancing Space and Energy Efficiency

Based on the poor state of the roof, the plan was to undertake a comprehensive roof refurbishment while maximizing the unused loft space through a bespoke loft conversion. This included adding Velux windows on one side of the roof and a skylight on the other, alongside the strategic implementation of solar panels on the sun-facing side to significantly increase the property's energy efficiency.

Project Location and Timeline in St Albans

Located in the heart of St. Albans, this project was completed efficiently within an 8-week timeframe from inception to final handover. Our meticulous preparation and thorough site protection allowed us to maintain consistent progress, even during periods of heavy rainfall, ensuring on-time delivery and complete client satisfaction.

The Result: A Bright, Spacious Loft and Sustainable Energy Solution in St Albans

Following our detailed consultation, the client opted for a durable and aesthetically pleasing slate roof. The expertly executed loft conversion created valuable additional living space, while the integrated solar panels represent a smart, long-term investment for the homeowner. The inclusion of three Velux windows on one roof slope and a skylight with an additional window on the opposite side has transformed the loft area into a bright and welcoming environment, filled with natural daylight. This newfound light and space make the loft incredibly versatile, suitable for a variety of uses, from a comfortable bedroom to a functional home office, a quiet library, or an engaging playroom.
