With regards to loft conversions. What do builders normally quote as standard? We were speaking to our neighbours and looking at their conversion, they mentioned it can be a bit cold up there which I was surprised about. Especially considering they put 3 radiators up there (although I think they were talking about without the heating on)
Our builder has quoted the below. Obviously we'll chat with him about options but is there anything separately/online I can be looking at to compare?
Likewise, sidenote... We've opted for clay tiles rather than bog standard onces. And not slate which a few have gone for on our road. Besides cost and aesthetics is there anywhere I can find out what the difference in 'performance' is?
