The minimum height for a loft conversion is 2.3 metres (7 ft 6 in). As a rule of thumb, a height of around 2.4 metres (7 ft 10 in) in the highest part of your loft is adequate.

You must ensure safety for the inhabitants of a home with a loft conversion and there are minimum standards for design, health and safety and construction of a loft conversion. We will make sure that any plans for your loft conversion are submitted correctly and fit all regulations.

A high percentage of loft conversions do not require planning permission. However, most do require plans & approval by the local authority building department, which can normally be obtained on your behalf by the company you commission to carry out the work. Normally approval can take between 4 and 6 weeks, but it is best to make provision for around 2-3 months from inception, this will depend on whether planning permission is required. Our team will advise all customers so just ask when you give us a call.

Once approved we will negotiate your start date. Before we undertake the work we will arrange a meeting with yourselves outlining the work and installation dates, agreeing timings and schedule, we will also arrange a meeting with our installation managers, who are personally responsible for the smooth running of your project and will liaise with you throughout the build ensuring smooth running, cleanliness and approval at each stage.

We can usually fit the stairs into the space where your boiler goes or use storage space that you often find on the top floor. We can also take a small part of a wall if needed, but we minimise this as much as possible.
