If home life has become stressful because everyone is in each other’s space, you may find yourself scanning estate agent’s windows. Before you get serious about relocating, you should consider optimising the potential of your current home. If you have sufficient height, you could add that additional room by opting for a loft conversion.

With over 30 years of construction industry expertise, our team are experienced in transforming what was a dark storage space, into a much needed bedroom or office. One immediate advantage is that loft conversions are typically far less costly and disruptive than moving house. By changing the use of your loft, you can enhance your day to day living arrangements, as well as boosting the value of your home.

Unless you live in a conservation area, it is not usually necessary to get planning permission for a loft conversion. Having said this, the work does have to comply with a number of specific building regulations. These include fire safety, structural stability and strength and insulation. The staircase used to access the roof is also regulated to ensure safety. For these reasons, it is advisable to engage an experienced loft conversion builder.
