Neo spaces

1. Head Height – The Magic Number
Stand under the highest point of your loft (usually under the ridge beam) and measure from the floor to the underside of the ridge. If it’s 2.2 metres (about 7’3”) or more, you’re in business. Anything less? You might still convert, but it could get expensive (think lowering ceilings, raising the roof, or creative design tricks).

2. Roof Structure – Old School Wins
Traditional Roofs (Pre-1960s): Big, open spaces with fewer obstacles. These are dream conversions.

Modern Trussed Roofs (Post-1960s): More cross-bracing and structural supports to work around, but not impossible. We’ve tackled plenty—just takes a bit more engineering genius (luckily, we’ve got that).

3. Footprint – Space to Play With
Generally, you’ll want a loft that spans the full width of your house and is deep enough to actually fit a room. Odd-shaped or tiny lofts can be converted, but you might be making a nursery, not a master suite.

4. Access – Stairs Matter
If you need to access your new room via a climbing rope or stepladder, that’s a problem. There needs to be space for a proper staircase—legal, safe, and comfortable. We’ll help you design one that fits, but it needs somewhere to go!

5. Floor Strength
Your loft floor was probably built for boxes, not people doing yoga or kids doing cartwheels. We check if the joists are up to spec—and if not, we’ll strengthen them so your new space is rock solid.

6. Planning & Building Regulations
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development, but if you’re in a conservation area, have a listed property, or want to change the roof shape, you might need permission. Either way, building regulations will always apply—so you’ll want a team that knows the ropes (that’s us).

The Bottom Line
If your loft ticks these boxes, you’re halfway there. If not, don’t panic—there’s almost always a solution. It’s just about knowing what’s possible, what’s practical, and where your budget goes furthest.

7 years, but have a team with over 50 years of combined experience

What I love most about my job in construction is the tangible result that comes from our collective efforts. Each project embodies a multitude of ideas, challenges, solutions, and hard work that ultimately culminate into a physical structure that will stand tall for years to come. I find immense satisfaction in witnessing the transition from architectural plans to the final built form, knowing that our team played a crucial role in bringing a vision to life. Additionally, the camaraderie and teamwork in the construction field are unparalleled – there's a unique bond formed when individuals collaborate to create something durable and significant from scratch.

The inception of my building firm was driven by an amalgamation of passion, experience, and a distinct vision for contributing to our built environment. My journey through various aspects of the construction and building industry spotlighted not only the intricate beauty and technical complexity behind each structure but also the tangible impact that well-crafted buildings have on communities and individuals alike.

One pivotal inspiration was recognizing a substantial need for a building firm that seamlessly melds innovative construction practices with timeless design principles. A firm that not only constructs buildings but crafts environments that enhance the quality of life and aesthetic of the landscapes they inhabit.

In addition, the vibrant tapestry of stories and legacies embedded in each project always fascinated me. Whether it’s a home where generations will forge memories, or a business premises destined to incubate dreams and ventures, the knowledge that our efforts facilitate such vital experiences is profoundly fulfilling.
