ACS Xtra Space recently finished a loft conversion in Chelmsford, turning an unused, underutilised loft into a stylish and functional living area. This project created additional living space and enhanced the home’s overall look and energy efficiency. If you’re interested in our loft conversion services for yourself, this article perfectly showcases our approach to carrying out loft conversions to suit any requirement – from the initial design meeting to the final results.

Enhancing Space and Usability

The primary goal of this loft conversion was to create a multi-functional space. By converting the previously empty loft, the homeowners gained a spacious, well-lit bedroom, a cosy study area, and a sleek, modern bathroom.

A standout feature of the design was the double dormer extension, which maximised both the floor area and natural light. This addition created a bright, welcoming space with a much more open feel.

Energy Efficiency Improvements

In addition to the structural changes, the team here at ACS Xtra Space focused on energy efficiency – a significant part of this was installing a new energy-efficient boiler. The homeowners now enjoy a more reliable heating and hot water system, with the added benefit of reduced energy bills.

This upgrade reflects the increasing importance of energy-efficient solutions in home renovations, giving the homeowners both immediate and long-term savings.

The Alwitra Roofing System

The roof is an important factor contributing to any loft conversion’s success, and ACS Xtra Space chose the Alwitra roofing system for this project. Known for its durability and sleek appearance, this single-ply waterproof membrane offers a modern finish that aligns with current design trends.

A major benefit of the Alwitra system is its 25-year guarantee, giving the homeowners peace of mind for the long term. Its standing seam finish also adds a touch of elegance to the exterior of the property.

Project Timeline and Execution

From start to finish, the entire conversion took around seven weeks. This included installing the double dormer extension, the new roof system, and fitting the bathroom and study areas. The project was completed on schedule, highlighting the expertise and efficiency of the ACS Xtra Space team.

Andy and the team just finished a roof refurb/loft conversion with us and I would highly recommend them. Why? 1 - They are very clear on their costings, are flexible and transparent on changes along the way, if there is a cost decrease then they share this as well, 2 - They use the same tradespeople throughout the job, same plumber, electrician, joiner, roofers etc so there is continuity and you don't end up with different people not knowing what was done before, 3 - They are tidy. Having a knock through into your loft is very disruptive but they make sure that the households needs are considered, 4 - They do not disappear onto other jobs, you may have to wait until they finish the previous job but once they start on yours they commit, 5 - They do a great job, we are delighted with the end result and would highly recommend them. Great team, all nice people to have knocking around your house for a few months!!

I had a loft conversion in 2017 which developed roof spread due to poor design. Got in touch with Andy who arranged for a structural engineer to create a new design structure which Andy and his team completed. Amazing job, nothing too much trouble, always responds to calls and messages immediately, no extra costs at the end of the job, great team. Wouldn't go anywhere else for future building works.

Andy and his team took on the our loft conversion and they were great to work with. From the initial meeting with Andy he was able to share advice and experience and throughout the build he was very communicative and thoughtful. The team were on time, polite and really helpful. It is clear that they take pride in their work and as Andy says, "If you're happy, I'm happy" and he did go the extra mile. I'd happily recommend ACS Xtra space if you are considering a loft conversion or similar. Thanks Andy, Ben, Joe, Pete and Marshall!

ACS Xtra Space did a lovely job of our bedroom extension, taking our 4mx3m bedroom with low ceiling height and extending it to make a gorgeous 4m x 7m bedroom with vaulted ceiling. Lovely job, thank you.

We have worked alongside Andy and his team at ACS Xtra Space for the last three years, preparing the detailed drawings and planning submissions for his loft conversion projects. The team are experts when it comes to loft conversions, I highly recommend them.

Had a garage extension with room and bathroom added above it. Very professional and excellent work from andy and his team. I was nervous at the start of it all and andy always explained everything that was going on right from the start and that calmed the nerves. Very very pleased and happy with the outcome of it all. Great work! 👍

5 stars from us because we are very happy with the loft extension we got against the budget we had. It seems half our street has used Andy and team and there's a good reason that's happened. Andy brings his decades of experience to bear and has answers or advice for all the tricky niggles you find when retro-fitting an extension on old houses. We found we could always thrash out any concerns and explore any new ideas or options on the way and that was brilliant. Andy clearly has a good team behind him and there's professional planning booklets and payment schedules provided up front which is great. Then of course there's Pete and the core builders who were brilliant to have on site and did great work alongside Andy. Key for me is that any build is going to have challenges and with a host of sub-contractors working on the project you'll have some stressful days, but ACS and Andy were always in control and happy to address any issues.

Very happy with our new loft conversion. Andy and team did a great job, with good communication from start to finish. Any issues were promptly dealt with and we wouldn’t hesitate to use again for any future projects.

From the outset communication from Andy and Paul was great and they also provided a very clear breakdown of the costs before any work was undertaken. We had a loft conversion with a dormer, this included fitting a new combi boiler. Andy and his team provided everything needed for this project from architect plans to inspection sign off as we had requested. Pete the onsite builder did an amazing job of the building works and was a pleasure to deal with. We recommended ACS Xtra space to our neighbour and once they had seen our finished loft conversion they also used them. I could not praise this company more for the work they did , polite , friendly and great quality work.

Andy and his team built us a loft conversion and dormer including additional work I needed such as creating a new doorway in my house and building me a front door canopy and fitting a new boiler. He kept me informed all throughout the works and arranged everything from start to finish including skips, steels, plasterers and site clearance. Happy to recommend him.

Andy and his team are great from the architect plans to tidying up after themselves and everything in between. We had large loft conversion together with a new boiler. Andy and his team are good at keeping us in the loop throughout, have recommended him for another job for family as a result of his work.
