FAQS
Most frequent questions and answers
Can my loft space be converted?
Unfortunately in some cases it is not practical to convert your loft space. We offer a FREE no obligation survey and consultation, where we will be able to discuss the feasibility of converting your loft, and the various options available to you.
Do I need planning permission for my loft conversion?
Some loft conversions require planning permission. Generally this is required when you live in a conservation area or a flat/maisonette. If this does not apply to your property then under permitted/lawful development rights a Certificate of Lawfulness can be obtained from your local authority. For more information on this click Planning & Permissions.
What about Building regulations/drawings and local authority approval?
All loft conversions for habitable accommodation have to conform to current building regulations. Working plans and structural calculations are produced by our in house architects that work closely with you to maximise space and optimize the potential of your loft space. Our service includes the preparation and submissions of these plans to your local authority. All appropriate notices are served and on your behalf we liaise with your local authority.

Our quote is designed to be clear; we guarantee there are no hidden or extra charges. We accept an initial deposit to prepare and schedule your loft conversion. Once construction is underway stage payments follow with the balance to be paid on the completion of the conversion. This will all be detailed in your quotation.
