Q: Can my loft be converted?
A: Most people who look up into their loft see that they have no means of using it as a room. However, 90% of traditional
roofs can be converted after a survey has been carried out.
Q: Is my loft too small?
A: In order to comply with Building Regulations, the loft has to be a minimum of 2.3m or 7'6" at its highest point
(i.e. the apex of the roof). Those measurements are taken from the top surface of the ceiling boards below, to the felt at
the very apex of the roof. With that in mind, we can make the most of even the smallest lofts with the imaginative use of
dormer windows and staircase positioning.
Q: Do I require planning permission?
A: Some properties may not require planning permission. This depends on if there is any other works that have been carried
out such as extension. This will be determined on our first consultation,which is FREE.
Q: Will I need to arrange Building Regulations Approval and will that be an additional cost?
A: Again, we are used to dealing with Building Control at local Councils, and we will complete all necessary paperwork
for you. The cost is usually £300 - £500, and will be included in your quote.
Q: How long will it take to convert my loft?
A: This depends upon the type and size of your conversion,extension and the interior works you choose to have done.Normally
it will take about 6-8 weeks.
Q: How quickly can you start work?
A: About 4 weeks of permission being obtained from your local council.
