Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning planning permission isn't required unless you live in a conservation area or a listed building. However, all conversions must comply with Building Regulations.
How long does a typical conversion take to complete?
While timelines vary depending on complexity, a standard loft conversion usually takes between 6 to 10 weeks. Dormer conversions typically fall in the mid-range of this timeframe, while Mansard conversions may take slightly longer.
What is the minimum head height required for a loft?
To be legally converted into a liveable space, the minimum standing height required is generally 2.2 metres at the highest point. If your loft is shallower, we can discuss structural alternatives such as lowering the floor below.
Will I have to move out during the construction phase?
In most cases, you can remain in your home. Our team access the loft through the roof for the majority of the build, only coming inside for the final structural integration of the new staircase and internal finishes.
