Frequently Asked Questions
Is my loft suitable for a conversion?
Most lofts can be converted, but some projects present complex challenges. We’ll thoroughly survey your dimensions, roof style, angles, height and access to fully assess your loft’s potential.
Velux roof window conversions tend to be more straightforward, while popular dormer extensions allow more head height. Typically you’ll need at least 2.2m room height. We’ll advise on the most suitable design options to maximise your available loft space.
What permissions will I need for my loft conversion?
Many residential loft conversions can proceed without full planning permission if meeting certain criteria. However, it’s advisable to check with your local council first, as special consent is required in some cases. Our experts will provide guidance on any specific permissions required for your property and plans. We can assist with the permissions process to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible.
How long will my loft conversion take?
Timescales vary considerably depending on the complexity of your plans. As a guide, simple Velux or smaller dormer lofts often take 6-8 weeks. More intricate structural changes like hip-to-gable extensions typically take longer if full planning permission is required.
We’ll discuss expected timeframes and keep you updated on progress milestones throughout your project, ensuring your conversion stays on track with minimal disruption. Let us know if you have any other questions! We’re happy to advise on all aspects.
