Loft Conversion – Altrincham, Manchester
This Altrincham home has been transformed with a loft conversion, adding valuable extra space and increasing the property’s functionality and value. The homeowners wanted to maximise their unused loft area, creating a modern, well-structured extension that seamlessly integrates with the existing home.
To bring this vision to life, PorthouseDean provided expert structural calculations, ensuring the roof structure, floor reinforcements, and load-bearing supports were designed for stability and compliance. The project was successfully constructed by Living Smart (www.livingsmart.co.uk).
Creating a Strong & Spacious Loft Conversion
This project included:
✅ A fully reinforced loft floor – Supporting the weight of the new living space
✅ RSJ beam & steel support design – Strengthening structural openings
✅ Load-bearing wall modifications – Ensuring seamless integration with the home
✅ Maximised natural light – Strategic skylights and windows for an airy feel
Precision Structural Engineering for a Secure Build
Our role in this transformation included:
✔ Structural calculations for the loft conversion – Ensuring safety and compliance with Building Control
✔ RSJ beam & steel design – Supporting new openings and load distribution
