This is part 1 in my series of loft conversion videos where I'll be showing each stage of my loft conversion and bringing you the viewer along for the ride. In part 1 I provide an overview of my loft conversion plans, I show me breaking into the roof for access, removing old insulation, removing lime mortar from old lath and generally clearing the loft ready for the next stage of fitting the new joists.
