Barn conversions are generally more expensive to build than new houses because they are constructed entirely outside of any building regulations, they almost always need major structural alterations to comply with the modern day regulations.
Apart from meeting various regulations the main and most frequent problem when converting barns is that old timbers found in barns are often badly damaged. However it is now possible, using advanced resin bonding techniques, to repair most structural timbers including shakes, splits, lintels, beams, wall plates, joists and rafters.
A completed barn conversion, in the correct setting, is a beautiful sight
and affords the builder and owner and immense sense of achievement and pride on completion. Converted barns are extremely valuable and reach great heights of profit when sold and they can prove to be very worthwhile and cost effective.
