Thinking of a Loft Conversion? What to Know First

A loft conversion is one of the best ways to add space and value to your home — but a great result depends on getting a few things right before you start.

First, check your head height. As a rule of thumb you want at least 2.2 metres at the highest point of the existing loft. If you have it, most conversions are straightforward; if you don't, there are still options such as altering the roof structure.

Next, think about access. A proper, building-regs-compliant staircase takes up space on the floor below, so it's worth planning where it will go early.

Finally, remember that most loft conversions need building regulations approval, and some need planning permission. We handle all of this for you, so you can focus on enjoying your new room.
