Is your loft suitable?
The main things that decide whether a loft can be converted are the headroom at the highest point, the shape of the roof and where a staircase could go. We'll look at your loft on a free visit and tell you honestly whether it's worth doing.
Adding space without moving house
A loft conversion is often the simplest way to gain an extra bedroom or a quiet place to work. Most of the work happens in the roof space, so the rest of your home carries on as normal for much of the build.
Common questions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Many loft conversions are permitted development, so they don't need a planning application, as long as they stay within set size limits and don't add a dormer to the front roof slope. Homes in conservation areas and listed buildings are different. Every loft conversion needs building regulations approval.
What building regulations apply?
They cover the strength of the new floor, safe stairs, insulation, and a protected escape route in case of fire, which usually means fire doors and mains-powered smoke alarms.
