Sustainability

A loft conversion offers an eco-friendly way to build, since it helps you to utilise existing space within your property. 

Here are some points to consider to help you carry out your loft conversion in a sustainable way: 

It’s worth considering using renewable energy sources to power your project. Consider incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels to generate electricity and using energy-efficient lighting, such as LED bulbs. 

It's also imperative to ensure that any waste connected to the project is recycled and/or reused as much as possible.

Keep sustainability, durability, and longevity in mind when speaking with the tradespeople you're working with. Use our 'find a professional4' tool to locate the right professional for your project.
