Design and planning considerations
Loft design must balance headroom, natural light, stair access and how the new rooms will be used. We work through every detail, from fire safety to ensuite layouts.
Building regulations
Loft conversions require building regulation approval covering structural load, fire escape, insulation, electrics and ventilation. Planning permission is only needed in specific cases such as designated areas.
Materials and construction
We specify engineered floor joists, mineral wool insulation, fire-resistant plasterboard, quality windows and staircases that comply with Part K and Part B building regulations.
Common questions
How much headroom do I need for a loft conversion?
A practical loft conversion generally needs at least 2.2m to 2.4m of headroom at the highest point. We measure this during the site survey.
Can a loft conversion include a bathroom?
Yes, many conversions include an ensuite or bathroom. We assess drainage, water pressure and space to find the best position.
