To determine if your loft is suitable for conversion, consider the following key factors:

1. Head Height
Measure from the floor to the highest point of the roof. Ideally, you need at least 2.2m for a comfortable living space. If it’s lower, you may need structural alterations, such as raising the roof or lowering the ceiling below.

2. Roof Structure
Traditional roofs (pre-1960s) with rafters are easier to convert as they have an open space.

Modern trussed roofs (post-1960s) may require additional structural work to create usable space.

3. Floor Strength
Loft floors are usually designed for storage, not living spaces, so reinforcement may be required.

4. Access & Staircase
You’ll need a safe and space-efficient staircase. Building regulations require a permanent staircase rather than a loft ladder.

5. Natural Light & Ventilation
Will you add roof windows (Velux), dormers, or gable-end windows? These can increase light and headroom.

6. Insulation & Energy Efficiency
The loft must be well-insulated for warmth and comfort, following building regulations.

7. Planning Permission & Building Regulations
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development Rights, but larger alterations (like dormers or raising the roof) may need planning permission. You’ll also need to meet building regulations for fire safety, insulation, and structural integrity.

If you’re unsure, we can assess your loft and advise on the best approach for conversion!

What I love most about my job is the constant challenge and the fact that no two projects are ever the same. Every job brings a new set of obstacles to overcome, whether it's a complex renovation, a high-performance Passive House build, or integrating cutting-edge energy-efficient solutions.

Ultimately, the most rewarding part is seeing a project come to life and knowing we’ve provided clients with high-quality, efficient, and beautifully crafted spaces.
