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.
