Can a mid-century Dianella roof void be opened up into a room?

Often, yes. The mid-century houses in Dianella can have a roof void with enough pitch for a small room or a storage loft, depending on the truss layout. We check the headroom and joists at the first visit to confirm.

What access do you fit for a Dianella loft?

We fit heavy duty pull down attic ladders for storage access, or build fixed timber stairs where the hallway height and floor plan allow. Either way, the access is part of the one Dianella quote and build.

Can you bring in an electrician for a Dianella loft?

Yes. Where the loft needs power points or lighting, we coordinate a qualified electrician and include the cost in your quote. You can also use your own electrician if you would prefer.

How do you keep dust out of a Dianella home during the loft build?

We lay drop sheets and dust barriers below the ceiling opening before any cutting starts, then spend 30 minutes at the end of each day vacuuming and tidying the rooms underneath.

Loft Conversions in Dianella

Loft conversions in Dianella by Ashmore Carpentry, opening up roof voids in post-war brick and mid-century homes on rolling suburban blocks to add attic storage or an extra room.

Ashmore Carpentry carries out loft conversions across Dianella, where post-war brick homes and mid-century houses sit on rolling suburban blocks and often carry a roof void that can be opened up into useful space. The work here usually means reinforcing the ceiling joists to take a floor, framing partition walls for a storage area or a small room, and fitting an access ladder or timber stairs that work with the hallway underneath. Dianella sits about 9 km from our Balcatta base, an easy cross-suburb run for the first inspection and any follow-up visits. Behind the build is forty plus years of combined carpentry and construction experience, covering the structural framing, subflooring and finishing, with a qualified electrician or plasterer lined up under the one quote wherever the design calls for them.

Turning a Dianella roof void into storage or an extra room is about reinforcing the right joists and framing the access, and our carpenters handle the structural work. See the full scope of our loft conversion carpentry in Perth.
