Bio-based materials are derived from biomass and their use actively displaces fossil derived materials from the supply chain. There are many billions of tonnes of carbon locked away in fossil resources; using these fossil resources releases this carbon into the environment generally in the form of carbon dioxide which is an abundant greenhouse gas. Where these fossil resources can be displaced from the supply chain by bio-based products this carbon is left locked away. Plants used as fuel to displace coal or oil have absorbed carbon dioxide from the environment during their lives and this carbon will be released when they are disposed of, this carbon can then be absorbed by further plants creating a carbon cycle of a few years rather than that more traditional carbon cycle of decades or even millions of years.
Whilst the environmental benefits of using bio-based materials seem to be self-evident the question must be asked how can both suppliers and consumers be assured that bio-based products are actually derived from bio-mass? There is currently no defined European standard for this however Berlin based certification organisation DIN CERTCO have developed a certification scheme based on the internationally recognised standards ASTM D 6866 and CEN/TS 16137. Within this scheme the amount of volatile solids contained within a sample of the product is established as a guide to the amount of total organic material (TOC) contained in the sample. The bio-based carbon content is then analysed via carbon isotope analysis and is displayed as percentage of the TOC.
All organisms absorb two carbon isotopes from the atmosphere, carbon 12 and carbon 14 generally in the same proportions, absorption of these isotopes ceases on the death of the organism. Carbon 12 is a stable isotope and levels within the body will remain unchanged, carbon 14 is a radionuclide and will undergo radioactive beta (β) decay at a rate of 50% per 5730 ± 40 years. In most cases therefore if the product is derived from freshly harvested biomass the ratio should be similar to that in the atmosphere.
It is reasonable to say that most compostable products are derived completely or partly from biomass such as wood fibre and plant derived starches and therefore could be recognised under both certification schemes, however there are products such as polyethylene (PE) produced from bioethanol that are bio-based and not compostable. On the other hand materials made from oil-based resources like Polybutyrate (PBAT) manage to be compostable, but of course not bio-based.

Manchester City vs PSG Prediction & Match Preview
Manchester City vs PSG
Venue: Etihad Stadium.
PSG have already slipped up twice in this group (against both RB Leipzig and Club Brugge) which is why they are currently second in the standings. However, we just can't ignore the huge 4.75 odds offered for the visitors to claim the spoils at Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City vs PSG Head-to-head
These two teams know each other very well as they have met each other in the semifinal of the previous Champions League term.
Manchester City advanced to the final with home and away wins over Les Parisiens on the occasion.
As mentioned above, PSG celebrated a 2-0 victory when these two teams met each other in September in this group.
It was PSG's first win over Man City (in six games).
Manchester City vs PSG Predictions & Analysis
Manchester City host PSG in a thrilling clash on Wednesday evening at Etihad Stadium where the two European heavyweights will battle it out for the top spot in Group A.
Although PSG celebrated a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture played a couple of months ago at Parc Des Princes, it's Manchester City who will go into this with the pole position.
The Citizens sit one point clear at the top of the group standings following impressive back-to-back drubbings of Club Brugge in the last two rounds.
Pep Guardiola's machinery bagged as many as 15 goals in the remaining three games in this group (five per match on average).
They will enter this tie in high spirits following the weekend's 3-0 thumping of Everton at Etihad Stadium.
PSG also bagged three goals at the weekend, two of which came in the dying minutes of the affair against Nantes (a 3-1) when Mauricio Pochettino's men had 10 men on the pitch.
The good news for Pochettino is that Messi finally got off the mark in the league, scoring his maiden Ligue 1 goal on Saturday against Nantes.
PSG won the first game between these two teams 2-0.
PSG won 12 of 14 Ligue 1 matches this season and they will have Neymar, Messi, and Mbappe all available here.
Pep Guardiola has certain issues with the sidelined players as neither Kevin De Bruyne nor Jack Grealish were in action at the weekend, while Ferran Torres is a long-term absentee.
This match can go either way but the value is great with PSG.
Tips for Manchester City vs PSG
PSG to Win or Draw @ 2.10 (11/10)

Why America's Next President Must Speak About Systemic Racism
by Jason Johnson

In the aftermath of the protests, riots and violence that erupted a year ago in Ferguson, Missouri, there was a huge appeal by pundits, pastors and politicos to engage in healing. The nation needed to heal, the people needed to heal, and, of course, Ferguson itself needed to heal. The catch, of course, is that we can't begin to engage in a true "healing process" if we can't even agree on what made us sick to begin with. Which explains why so many presidential candidates in the 2016 race, representing both the Republican and Democratic parties, are struggling to address institutional racism, discrimination, and how these issues should be tackled. Whether it's in reference to police brutality, mass incarceration, economic justice or just plain old bigotry, this is the first election in almost 50 years in which candidates are being directly asked by African American voters to tackle institutional racism. The candidate who figures out how to effectively deal with these issues will probably be measuring the curtains at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue next November.
A chronic illness
The recent, highly public protests at campaign events for Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders have highlighted the rising political will to make sure candidates address institutional racism, and violence against African-Americans in particular. And while shooting for this kind of accountability is a laudable goal, the process inevitably comes up against an immovable barrier: Most Americans don't know much about institutional racism and worse, don't care, even if somebody takes the time to inform them. Unfortunately, these political campaigns are essentially no different.
There's a reason it's called "institutional" racism—America was built on it. From the slave trade that created billions of dollars in wealth, to job discrimination that keeps that wealth mostly in the hands of white Americans, to redlining and education policies that separate and misinform the public, these problems are seldom addressed as the systematic issues they are. Because these instances of discrimination and disadvantage make up a status quo that (directly or indirectly) benefits many Americans, most people in the U.S. will deny to their dying day that institutional racism exists, let alone its impact on our political system. If you've been walking around your whole life with a monkey on your back, just because someone runs up on stage and says you smell like bananas doesn't automatically mean you're going to immediately recognize the stench. And that is essentially what has been happening during campaign 2016. Everyone smells like bananas and quite a few candidates have been publicly slipping on the peels.
Bernie Sanders' "get off my lawn" routine with Black Lives Matter protesters did him no favors, though to his credit, he's recently been willing to speak with and work with leaders of the movement. Jeb Bush has waffled back and forth on the issue, sometimes calling Black Lives Matter a mere "slogan" and Ben Carson has argued that much of the movement is "silly." Hillary Clinton has probably evolved the most on these issues. Her trajectory has gone from relative silence about Ferguson (she took 19 days to say anything), to then saying "All Lives Matter" in a mostly black church, to now not only proudly proclaiming "Black Lives Matter" but engaging with activists after a speech in New Hampshire last week. Just capturing this much of the public discourse is new ground, an anomaly both historically and strategically for the issue of systemic racism. But it's not surprising candidates have been so clumsily resistant to dealing with the problem; it's just the nature of American political campaigns.
Presidential campaigns are basically extended commercials. The goal of each candidate is to figure out what version of America people want to live in, then give speeches, place ads, and give interviews pronouncing their own ability to either bring that America back or keep that America going. Campaigns can motivate, engage or even scare people into action. But what they aren't good at is actually teaching people much. In 2016, for any candidate—whether that's Hillary Clinton, Bobby Jindal, or even Donald Trump—to actually address institutional racism, he or she would have to explain a complicated concept to the public first, and no campaign wants to spend money on teaching the public anything. Even trying to educate people in this way would depend on the candidates themselves actually understanding enough about institutional racism to explain it to voters.
Hillary Clinton meets with Black Lives Matter representatives in New Hampshire
If you're not part of the solution…
The Republican and Democratic presidential candidates don't have a lot of experience dealing directly with the concerns of black people on the campaign trail. In general, Democrats are used to picking up over 90 percent of the African-American vote without putting in much effort. As a result, they can take these votes for granted, speaking in vague generalities about making America fair to everyone, though lacking specific plans or policies to achieve this. Republican presidential candidates tend to either ignore black voters outright or use them, either as a cudgel to motivate white conservatives or as a signal to independents that a particular candidate is "not racist." No matter how you slice it, neither party has a real history of dealing with institutional racism. And even just a quick breakdown of the current presidential field reveals an array of bad racial policies and questionable actions.
For example, during his time as Mayor of Baltimore and Governor of Maryland, the ostensibly liberal Martin O'Malley supported the kind of Three Strikes legislation that has been consistently used to send African-American boys from high school to prison to work camps with little or no chance to join the economy. This policy was also championed by Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill during their two terms in the White House. Bernie Sanders hasn't co-sponsored one bill to end discrimination in the last cycle, and hasn't stepped up to support any of the numerous bills floating around the senate to end racial profiling in federal investigations. And that's just the Democratic side. Scott Walker's Wisconsin has been deemed the worst state in America to raise African-American children. John Kasich's Ohio record isn't much better. Anyone who isn't living under a rock can tell you that Donald Trump just continues to blather on, spewing inane racist commentary about African-Americans, Latinos and any other group that suits his fancy.
Yet, to the credit of some Democrats and Republican Rand Paul, there have been recent attempts to create policy that addresses racism in the criminal justice system. Clinton and O'Malley have released White Papers, and Bernie Sanders has released a four-point plan. Rand Paul has a bill floating around Congress to give former inmates back their right to vote. But to many, especially those involved with the protest movement, these plans just aren't enough. And given the gap between campaign rhetoric and action in past elections, it's not hard to understand why voters might be cynical about whether all this talk will equal real change once one of these candidates is in the White House.
A change is coming
If there's one bright spot in this campaign season's conversations about institutional racism it's that the problems associated with this kind of injustice have slowly but surely moved into the mainstream. In large part, this is due to protests by Black Lives Matter activists, but it is also the result of some cold economic realities. Whereas once police brutality was considered a "black issue," the high profile killings and beatings of Eric Garner, Walter Scott, John Crawford, and Sandra Bland have raised the concerns and consciousness of many white Americans. The insurmountable financial intensity demanded by mass incarceration has organizations as divergent as the Koch Brothers and the ACLU working together. And the costs associated with racism in criminal justice are so high (in terms of settlements and payouts), that cities like Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh are forced to explore new technologies and training methods to improve policing. But these local plans and emergent developments are just a beginning. Perhaps for the first time in half a century there are some members of both political parties willing to even listen to black communities, and maybe even learn a bit.
But now that we are having these conversations in the public sphere, anti-racism activists need to evolve beyond protest and into the financial and strategic realms of the campaign world if they want to hold these politicians accountable. While the Black Lives Matter Movement is still young, as we turn from this long, hot summer into the fall, there are important 2015 elections to leverage before the 2016 presidential race really even gets serious. In Kentucky and Louisiana, for example, both states with large African-American populations, anti-racism activists should be on the ground making a difference. Heading into 2016, there are literally thousands of local municipal elections for positions like judges, school boards, and county commissioners that have an impact on how racism plays out in the day-to-day lives of non-white Americans. Whether it's in the form of a Super PAC, endorsements of particular candidates, or pledges given by each campaign, now is the time for specific policies to be put in the hands of the men and women hoping to lead this country. For the first time in America, it seems that enough politicians realize that the nation is sick, sick with the disease of racism—and now is the time to start collectively working on a cure.

Antoine Griezmann decision plunges Atletico Madrid into chaos and sparks summer scramble
Sport360 staff 15/05/2019
Antoine Griezmann's decision to leave Atletico Madrid has plunged the club into chaos and fired the starting gun for a summer scramble among Europe's elite.
Top scorer in each of his five seasons, Griezmann was the stardust of Atleti, offering spontaneity and craft in a team renowned for discipline and grit.
But he grafted too, which is why he was the perfect fit. Griezmann would run and chase as much as he passed and shot, his willingness perhaps exceptional for one of the world's premium attackers, a class in which he now deservedly belongs.
"I said it last season and I'll say it again – Griezmann is the best player in the world," coach Diego Simeone said in October.
In a team that creates more chances and gives him a greater chance of converting them, Griezmann is likely to deliver an even better return than his 129 goals for Atletico in 256 games.

Atletico Madrid feel short-changed as Antoine Griezmann signs for Barcelona
One more against Levante on Saturday will edge the Frenchman clear of Fernando Torres but Torres left a hero. Griezmann's exit will leave a bitter taste.
"The truth is it has been difficult to take this route but it's what I feel I need," Griezmann said in a video for the fans.
. @AntoGriezmann: "These five years have been incredible. Thank you very much for everything, I carry you in my heart." pic.twitter.com/uz1jwQj1Sg
— Atlético de Madrid (@atletienglish) 14 May 2019
He will be too late for a last outing in front of them at the Wanda Metropolitano, perhaps out of respect for Diego Godin, the godfather to his daughter, who was given a rousing farewell on Sunday after the club's final home game of the season.
Perhaps Griezmann was wary too, unsure if he waved to the stands whether it would be waving hands he saw coming back.
The hope was he would be playing there in the Champions League final on June 1, the dream of hoisting a European trophy on home turf a key factor in his decision to reject Barcelona last year.
Godin would have led them out but, at 33, with his best years behind him, he goes with the blessing of the fans, a La Liga title, two Champions League finals, two Europa Leagues, three Super Cups and a Copa del Rey under his arm.
Griezmann, five years younger, should be entering his prime, and departs with only one Europa League and a Super Cup. Worse, most suspect he is about to strengthen Barcelona.
"I think my best time is still to come," Griezmann said in December. "I know I can get even better."
But his choice is a reflection on Atletico too, raising questions about their future under Simeone, who was there on Tuesday with chief executive Miguel Angel Gil Marin and sporting director Andrea Berta, when his star player said he needed something new.
Two of Atletico's three outstanding players – Griezmann, Godin and Jan Oblak – are about to move. Oblak signed a new deal last month but it contains a release clause, reportedly set at €120 million, hardly an obstructive price for arguably the world's number one goalkeeper.
Lucas Hernandez has already agreed to join Bayern Munich. Juanfran, Filipe Luis or Rodrigo could be next.
Griezmann is poised for Barca but he could also prove key in a myriad of transfers across Europe this summer, including Paul Pogba's future.
Admiration for Simeone is unwavering among supporters but frustration simmers too over style and progress. Atletico sit 11 points behind Barcelona in La Liga, one year after the gap finished at 14.
Griezmann's early decision at least allows time for what is Simeone's biggest rebuild since he took charge in 2011.
He also begins it in a summer when Atletico's rivals are expected to respond to the success of the Premier League with spending sprees of their own.
Neither Griezmann's rejection of Barcelona, nor the fans whistling him at Camp Nou, will deter the club from a fresh approach.
There have been whistles there as well for their own Philippe Coutinho, whose future would become even more uncertain with Griezmann's arrival.
A reduction in Griezmann's release clause from €200m to €120 on July 1, means there is also time for others to enter the bidding.
Paris Saint-Germain are likely to offer the fiercest competition, particularly if they lay down a financial package Barca cannot match.
Griezmann at PSG could in turn give encouragement to Real Madrid, whose president Florentino Perez retains a strong interest in both Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, each seen as the sort of statement signing to launch a glorious new era under Zinedine Zidane.
Another is Paul Pogba, who Madrid might find easier to lure if United framed Griezmann as his replacement. For Atletico, the knocks could keep on coming.

Naby Keita and Fred feature in five worst Premier League transfers of season
Chris Bailey 15/05/2019
The Premier League is awash with cash – but by no means do teams get every signing right. Now, with the book closed on another season, it's time to look back on which summer signings flopped or fired.
Decisions are based on relative cost, how important he proved to his side and individual quality. Below we've picked out the best five buys of the Premier League campaign – for the best five, click here.
5. Naby Keita (Liverpool) Signed from RB Leipzig, £53m
Full disclosure – this is a controversial pick. Keita has struggled through injuries this season and found a fair lick of form before a groin injury finally put paid to a disappointing year earlier this month.
However, for a man who arrived in Liverpool as a supposedly transformative figure for the Reds' midfield, the Guinean has been seriously underwhelming. There was nothing he couldn't do for former club RB Leipzig – a goalscoring, playmaking dynamo with a V8 engine. Even at £53m, some quarters viewed it as a snip.

In nearly 1,400 Premier League minutes the 24-year-old mustered two goals and one assist. In a dominant team who are nonetheless crying out for ingenuity from midfield, Keita has metaphorically missed an open goal.
He's at a crossroads heading into season two – but no doubt the potential is there.
4. Alireza Jahanbakhsh (Brighton) Signed from AZ Alkmaar, £17m
An inability to extract almost anything from Brighton's summer signings led to Chris Hughton's sacking, and no one precipitated that downfall quite like the hapless Jahanbakhsh.
Signed to some fanfare after hitting 21 goals the previous season in the Eredivisie for Alkmaar, the Iranian's Premier League statline reads as follows: 19 games, zero goals, zero assists.
For a winger who's supposed to be creative, he managed five key passes all season (according to whoscored.com). For a player who's supposed to be pacy, he completed 11 successful dribbles, four of which came in the same game. The only reason he is not higher on the list is that the Seagulls didn't quite break the bank for him, although £17m is still a big chunk of change for them.
3. Riyad Mahrez (Man City) Signed from Leicester, £60m
Manchester City are almost perfect. Almost. But their recruitment of Mahrez was a severe flaw in what had been a rather pristine recruitment policy on the way to Premier League dominance.
Mahrez's ineffectivness this season hasn't necessarily been the Algerian's fault. Sure, his penalty against Liverpool in October is now orbiting Jupiter, but it shows how desperate he was to make his mark and establish himself as a first-choice.

There was never any chance of a consistent run of games, however. Not even Leroy Sane – who has scored 39 goals in three seasons for City – is a sure-fire starter.
It would have made far more sense to hand new Real Madrid teenager Brahim Diaz the tastes of the first-team that Mahrez has been left dissatisfied with, saving £60m in the process.
2. Jean Michael Seri (Fulham) Signed from Nice, £27m
It seems aeons ago now, but once upon a time Barcelona were keen admirers of Seri. Now Barca are plotting a route to an elusive Champions League trophy with Dutch wonderkid Frenkie de Jong and Seri is plotting a route out of relegated Fulham.
He may had other suitors, but you could see the allure of Fulham for Seri. London-based, ambitious club playing attractive football. Lots of cash for wages.
In the end, the Ivory Coast international barely earned a penny of it as he chipped in with a solitary goal and two assists in a season where he looked embarrassingly lightweight as a Premier League player.
The former Nice midfielder is reportedly shuffling back to Ligue 1 with Monaco. Still, he'll always have that screamer against Burnley. It was looking so good back in August …

1. Fred (Man United) Signed from Shakhtar Donetsk, £53m
On to another midfielder emblematic of a failed campaign, multiplied by a million. Fred was the only signing Manchester United made last summer that was expected to slot straight into the first-team, yet he ended up being a square peg for a squad containing many, many holes.
The Brazilian is certainly not the cause of all of United's ills, but he showed next-to-no improvement over the course of the season.
Indeed he was so poor that Scott McTominay, who at this point is nothing more than a solid young player, deservedly kept him out of the side.
Fred is a do-it-all midfielder with Shakhtar Donetsk turned Doctor Do-little at United. The 25-year-old struggles to retain possession, is constantly out of position, is liable to trip over his own feet and is a non-entity in attack.
Paul Pogba has had his shambolic moments, but if this is the type of player he has to work with, how much can he be truly blamed?

Transfer predictor: Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich is a 7, Youri Tielemans to Leicester a 6
Matt Monaghan 15/05/2019
Struggling to pick out the facts from the figures? Reality from the rubbish? Sense from the silly season? We've got you sorted in our daily dose of the Transfer Predictor, where we round up the latest rumours with an analytical spin.
We sort through the most eye-catching transfer reports of the past 24 hours and give a balanced judgment on whether the move really will happen – and why.
Today's edition features potential signings for Bayern Munich, Leicester City and Borussia Dortmund.
Transfer predictor: Junior Firpo to Barcelona is a 6 and Everton Soares to Arsenal is a 9
Transfer Predictor: Moise Kean to Everton is a 5, Mario Lemina to Man United a 7
RUMOUR: Manchester City -> €80m -> Bayern Munich
Bayern have opened discussions with the Premier League champions over the potential summer transfer of the Germany winger, according to the Daily Record.
WHY IT WILL HAPPEN: Bayern have held an interest in Sane since he burst through at Schalke in 2014, losing out against City two years later in the battle to sign him. The 23-year-old could now be available, for the right price, after rejecting a number of contract renewal offers on a deal that runs until June 2021 and disquiet with manager Pep Guardiola's use of him. He was only granted 21 Premier League starts in 2018/19.
WHY IT WON'T HAPPEN: A pursuit of Lille and Ivory Coast forward Nicolas Pepe is already under way, meaning they hold other options to replace outgoing veterans Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery. City are also pragmatic about the situation, meaning they'll only sell if the price is right.
TRANSFER PREDICTOR: 7/10
RUMOUR: Monaco -> £40m -> Leicester City
Leicester are pushing hard to swiftly complete a permanent move for the Monaco loanee and head off competing interest from Manchester United and Tottenham, according to Sky Sports.
WHY IT WILL HAPPEN: After a difficult year and a half in the Principality, Tielemans has shone brightly at King Power Stadium. His four assists and three goals from midfield has made him a valuable addition. With Leicester-owned Andre Silva also doing well at Monaco, a reciprocal deal could be arranged.
WHY IT WON'T HAPPEN: The Belgium midfielder has started to make good on the promise shown at Anderlecht. With United and Spurs keen on making midfield additions, his form hasn't gone unnoticed. Monaco will want to sell to the highest bidder, whether they stay in Ligue 1 or get relegated. This could be bad news for the Foxes, who didn't agree an option to buy Tielemans in January's loan negotiations.
RUMOUR: Hoffenheim -> €25m -> Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund are about to raid Bundesliga rivals Hoffenheim for Marcel Schmelzer's replacement at left-back, according to kicker.
WHY IT WILL HAPPEN: Schulz has experienced a breakthrough campaign for club and country. The 26-yer-old has become part of Germany's squad, plus struck two goals and nine assists in 36 Bundesliga run-outs. With Raphael Guerreiro pushed into midfield, Real Madrid loanee Achraf Hakimi a natural right footer and 31-year-old Schmelzer on the wane, another option is required. BVB boss Lucien Favre signed Schulz at Borussia Monchengladbach in August 2015 and a reunion is desired.
WHY IT WON'T HAPPEN: There are conflicting reports in Germany about the existence of a release clause. This could yet cause difficulty, but an announcement is expected after the Bundesliga season ends this weekend.

WordPress admin privilege auto-handover – Does such a thing exist?
We were wondering if there is such a function or plug-in available for WordPress which automatically provides a designated existing registered user of a WordPress site with full administration privileges after a predetermined period of time of no login activity from an existing designated admin account.
For example if the core 'Admin' account doesn't login to a site for say 30 days privileges are increased for a designated trusted user automatically by the plug-in or feature allowing the site to then be continually maintained in the event of for example, a lone admins death or even the password being forgotten to the main admin account and the admin no-longer having access to the password recovery feature, such as an email account originally set up to retrieve the password reset notification.
Thankfully we at ForHacSec have multiple admins and it would be very unlucky for us all to kick the bucket at the same time.
If this feature or plugin does exist what and where is it and if not, is anyone interested in a challenge of creating it?

All you need to know about having your loft converted including costs of materials, costs of labour and time frames.
There are several different types of loft conversion, but the three most popular types in the UK are: Roof windows but no dormer, roof windows with dormer, and dormers without roof windows. A roof window loft conversion with no dormer offers good lighting but compromises on size/space, they are however the cheapest and easiest conversion.
Roof windows and dormer conversions offer extra space and headroom, plus the extra light through roof windows. Whereas a dormer conversion but with no roof windows offers maximum usable space less light. Roof windows allow lots of extra natural light into the loft space, but dormers protrude from the roof and create additional space and headroom. The cost of a loft conversion with a dormer is considerably higher than a loft conversion with only roof windows, but you may have to install a dormer to meet building regulations for headroom, depending on the location of the staircase.
It makes sense to carry out other related jobs that may need doing at same time, such as installing a loft ladder and hatch, or a full staircase. Also don't forget about the existing roofing which should be in good order with no rot or missing/damaged roof tiles.
The most common reason for converting a loft is to provide an additional bedroom double bedroom, often with an en-suite bathroom. The work required would include all professional fees (architects, structural engineer, planning permission, building control etc), hire of scaffolding, all materials required (timber, steel joists, plasterboard, skirting etc), construction and roofing, staircase, fire escape, windows, electrics, heating, plumbing, insulation, flooring, decorating and skip hire.
As you can see it's a big list, involving a lot of work and materials, and therefore cost. If you are on a tight budget and want to maximize the potential added value on a loft conversion, then try and avoid dormers, bathrooms and shower units - these are the most expensive part of any loft conversion.
Using a reputable contractor and getting professional advice will greatly reduce the chances of any future problems with a loft conversion, however using a cowboy contractor that promises a good job done cheaply can end up costing an absolute fortune, in addition to being dangerous. When considering expensive structural alterations to your home, do not decide simply on price! There are some other factors which may increase the cost, for example if you have a water tank which will need to be moved along with the required plumbing work.
This is one of those jobs where the cost can vary considerably depending on the size of your loft, whether or not you want a dormer, what you want your loft to be (bedroom or bathroom), whether your house is terraced, semi or detached, whether your roof is gable, hip, mansard, trussed, traditional, etc, your location and the company you choose. Prices for loft conversions can range from £15,000 to £45,000.
Most loft conversion specialists charge around £300-£500 per day with 2-4 tradesmen working at the same time. You can expect the job to take anywhere from 4-8 weeks to complete depending upon the complexity.
Here are a few average costs for hiring a company to carry out a loft conversion. Please note that these are average prices. If you're house is around the London area, expect to add £10,000-£15,000 to the price.
Almost any loft can be converted but to get planning permission/building approval for an additional living space, it is crucial is that there is enough headroom, a minimum of 2.3m from the existing ceiling joists to the apex of the loft is a decent starting point. Even without the building constraints, if you cannot achieve at least 2m of ceiling height then converting your loft simply isn't worth the cost!
Do I need planning permission needed for my loft conversion?
Since 2008 loft conversions have normally been considered permitted development so do not require full planning permission subject to certain limits and conditions.
If you have a standard two story house, then you will need a fire door at the top or bottom of the new stairs from 1st floor into the loft, plus all doors off the 1st floor landing to bedrooms will need to be fire doors. Essentially to comply with Building regulations you need a safe corridor from the loft to the outside of the building, so all the existing doors on rooms on this escape route must be changed to fire doors.
To comply with Building Regulations electricians will also be required to fit hardwired smoke detectors in the landing at each level. These smoke alarms are mains hardwired plus have standby battery backup power supply. All loft conversions require a window through which a person could escape if the stairway does not provide a safe escape route. Building Regulations state that window openings must be 450mm or wider and should be supplied with non-locking fasteners for use in fire escape situations. Fire escape windows in the loft should be easy to access and close to the eaves level for rescue from the outside.
Will a loft conversion actually add value to my property?
In most cases, yes, as long as the work is professionally done and complies with building regulations. However, it will depend a lot on where you live and what type of house you have. If you're already got plenty of bedrooms an extra one is unlikely to add much to the value of the property.
How do I ensure building regulations are achieved?
It is possible to carry out a loft conversion using a Building Notice but most professional loft conversion companies will carry out a full plans submission to the Local Authority before works to ensure that the Local Authority agree to all technical specifications of the loft conversion and can then simply carry out site inspections when the work is in progress to ensure every detail fully meets Building Regulations every step of the way.
Can I convert my own loft - do I need a professional loft conversion company?
Anyone can do a loft conversion if they have the required equipment, tools, skills and experience. But if they do not then the loft conversion project could cost you tens of thousands of pounds to put right at a later date! You should also consider the time involved, professional conversion companies can often take several weeks for a single loft conversion with 2-3 tradesman working full time - if you can only spare a few hours evenings and weekends, then be realistic about how long the job will take.
Every loft is of course different but a typical velux/roof window type conversion will take around 4 to 5 weeks, whereas a dormer conversion will take a week or two longer.
