Ullapool

Ullapool is a town of around 1,500 residents in Ross and Cromarty, Scottish Highlands, found around 45 miles (72 km) north-west of Inverness. In spite of its tiny size it is the biggest negotiation for lots of miles around, and an important port and also tourist destination. The North Atlantic Drift passes Ullapool, regulating the temperature level. A few Cordyline australis (New Zealand cabbage trees) are grown in the town and are frequently incorrect for hand trees. The town lies on Loch Broom, on the A835 road from Inverness. The Ullapool River moves via the village. On the eastern shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society. It was developed by Thomas Telford. Prior to then the town was only an unimportant community of just over 20 homes. The harbour is still the edge of the community, used as an angling port, yacht haven, as well as ferryboat port. Ferries sail to Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides. The village was traditionally in Cromartyshire, a county comprised of several separate territories spread throughout north Ross-shire. Cromartyshire was abolished and integrated with bordering Ross-shire in 1890. Much of the crucial explorations of the Victorian period that added to the development of the concept of plate tectonics were made around, and there are still regular worldwide geological conferences. It is described as the leading geological hotspot in Scotland. Parliament granted permission in the 1890s for a train from Ullapool to the primary Highland network at Garve, however the system was deserted because of inadequate funds. The name is potentially stemmed from the Norse for "Wool farm" or "Ulli's farm".

FAQs

Can my loft be converted?

Many types of loft are suitable for a loft conversion. In general, you will need at least 2.3 metres of headroom in your existing loft. This is to make sure there is enough headroom after the conversion. Speak to a conversion specialist about the probability and possibility of doing this in your house.

Will I need planning permission to convert my loft?

Planning permission is not normally needed for a loft conversion as they are covered by permitted development rights. A conversion company will tell you if you do and help you with this. For more information, see our article about planning permission.

how long does a loft conversion take?

If you’re about to carry out a loft conversion project, you’d probably be wondering how long it’ll take to complete the task. Well, you’re not alone! This is one of the most common questions when it comes to loft conversion projects, however, providing a set timeframe for completion of such projects is impossible as all loft conversions vary. There are different factors that can determine the duration of your project. These factors include, the materials to be used, the type of the proposed loft conversion, the kind of staircase you’ll like to have installed, the number of windows included, the number of rooms to be added as well as a number of other influencing factors. As a result of these variables, the milestones and timings provided are only to be taken as guidelines. If you’d really like to have a set date, you can get in touch with a professional for help.

Generally, it’ll take up to 8 weeks to complete a loft conversion project.

✓ The first week activities will include putting up scaffolding, receiving the first materials for the build and creating an opening in the roof to gain access to the loft space.

✓ In the second week, the structure of the roof will be ammended and more support added.

✓ Third week, the floor joists will be fitted, building of the loft conversion will start, completion of the external roof works and commencement of plumbing and electric works.

✓ Fourth week, complete the building, construct the loft floor, fit the roof windows, insulation, ventilation and internal stud walls.

✓ Fifth week, apply plaster and plasterboard to the room walls, create a staircase opening and fit the new staircase.

✓ Sixth week, plaster the staircase area, complete plumbing and electrical works, hang the doors, fit skirting, handrails and bannisters and start decoration.

✓ Seventh week, complete the decoration and clean and wipe out all wastes.

✓ Eight week, complete all the remaining tasks.

what is a hip to gable loft conversion?

This is a type of loft conversion that extends your roof on the sloping side. It is a great option to go for especially where a hipped roof effectively makes the usable floor area a lot smaller which can be a tricky affair when it comes to putting in a new staircase. Here, the roof is extended from the current ridge in such a way that it effectively fills the gap between them. As a result, this turns the hip (in a hipped roof) into a gable to create space in your roof for a loft conversion - hence the name “hip to gable.

The new gable can be done in whatever way that suits both your taste as well as your property. You can make the new gable construction in woods and then tiled to match your existing roof while you can also go for other options such as brick block pebbledash or rendering. You are also free to fit in a new window into the loft conversion end so as to allow for natural light into the loft space.

A hip to gable loft conversion is mostly found on both semi detached and end terrace buildings, particularly those constructed in the 1930s. Overall, this type of loft conversion is particularly ideal for homes that features a hipped roof and with a sloping roof at the side of the property. Some detached properties can also possess a hipped roof on the side - and as such, a double hip to gable loft conversion can also be deal as it’ll create more loft space for usage. If your home fits into the bill, then you should be aware that once the project is completed, you’ll have plenty of usable space available to both you and your loved ones.
