Loft Conversion

A loft conversion can be a great cost-effective way to add more space to your property. We have helped our clients create stunning loft conversions in all types of properties, with many different types of roof construction. Whatever the type of roof you have, we will have seen it before, and can provide you with all the advice and expertise that you will need.

Building Regulation Approval:-

Building regulations approval is a legal requirement required to convert a loft or attic into a liveable space.

The regulations will be applied to ensure, for example:

·the structural strength of the new floor is sufficient
·the stability of the structure (including the existing roof) is not endangered
·safe escape from fire
·safely designed stairs to the new floor
·reasonable sound insulation between the conversion and the rooms below.
