More and more people are realising that loft conversions are beneficial to a property. They not only increase space, but add monetary value. It’s a common concern that having a water tank in your roof means you can’t extend your loft but this is not true.
If you’re thinking of increasing the space in your home, but have a water tank in your loft, here’s how you can work around it so you can get the perfect extension.
Moving the tank
Water tanks that take up valuable space in the centre of your attic, can be moved into the corner of your loft space and out of the way. Repositioning your water tank is well worth doing so you can really maximise your attic, and get the most out of your conversion.
Relocating your water tank can be a fairly quick job, and usually takes about one day of labour for a plumber.
Combi Pressurised Boiler
If you feel like moving your water tank would be a waste of time, you could get rid of it altogether. A pressurised boiler, also known as a combi boiler, means you don’t need a water tank in your attic at all. It is quite a compact boiler that can take up minimal room and provides both central heating and hot water for your home. Plus, it’s energy efficient and provides hot water 24/7 using your mains system.
Using a Gas Safe engineer can mean that you get the best combi boiler installed in your home and free up space for your loft conversion by removing your cold water tank.
