  Steve from Ash Island in High Wycombe starting the roofing.

The steels and floor are in and the box dormer up at our loft conversion in High Wycombe at the end of week 2. Good job because the Ash Island roofers will be onsite at 7.30am on Tuesday morning!

Now we are in the final phase of this amazing loft conversion in HP9. Great use of mismatched tiles and  love the two sinks – secret of a happy marriage?!  

The interior design really turns the loft conversion space into a home. The two ways to begin this process is either plastering or using a tape and jointer method. Plastering requires more materials, is more labour intensive and can reduce that all important space with a heavy coating. Not only that, plaster absorbs paint more […]

 Paul, our electrician in this photo is fitting electric fitted underfloor heating. In general there are two types of underfloor heating. The first, is the one you see here – completely powered by electricity. The heating strip will be rolled out beneath the wooden flooring for that extra warmth in the winter nights. The other […]

Following from our previous blog; for this project in Beaconsfield, our architect has designed inset dormers which fit in with the local aesthetics. Here, our roofers have started to felt & batten the exterior reusing existing tiles for a flush finish between dormer and existing roof. For the exterior of the dormers, however, we have […]

 This rather pensive image of our Site Manager, Aron staring through this inset dormer into “opportunity” really defines the purpose of their construction. Inset dormers on suburban properties with larger roofs have more space compared with terraced properties in the city. Having a 30 metre wide dormer on the back of this property would have […]

 Instead of using a “tin hat”, a thick layer of corrugated metal on-top of the scaffolding extending the projects duration time and expense. At Ash Island, we use a heavy duty tarp that covers the roof of the house preventing leaks. Not only does the tin-hat have a large surface area allowing wind to gust […]

For this project in Beaconsfield, we have upgraded the clients pre existing water tanks into a mega flow system. This enhances the dual pressures of the water for a multi user e.g. if you were in the shower, the dishes being washed down stairs won’t effect the pressure! 

With the HSE survey completed, scaffolding safely put up; the Ash Island Team can begin the “rip out”. This process is very labour intensive and precautions must be put in place. Our site manager has done a detailed check of the site and will begin by removing roof tiles, pre existing and old insulation, roof […]

All prepped and ready for the conversion commence date next week. The first stage is making sure the property is safe to work in by the new health and safety regulations which will be evaluated by our site manager. Now that the scaffolding is up we can commence with the works, exciting times for the […]

Great picture of the stairs that have been fitted at our dormer conversion in High Wycombe. Putting the stairs in place always makes a loft conversion seem like it’s starting to come together!

Here is a loft conversion we have done in Goring on Thames (South Oxfordshire). Firstly we obtained planning permission (conservation area) to ‘raise the ridge’ to allow for this loft conversion. The outside of the loft conversion consists of 2 pitched roof dormers on the front roof pitch and there are 2 pitched roof dormers […]

Mr & Mrs Herbert, Watchfield, SN6 The whole project was very efficient and we liked the fact that money was due upon completion of each building phase. Our project was quite varied with lots of different components to juggle which included a garage conversion, new bathrooms, wall knocked down, carpentry works. Ash Island certainly make you […]
