Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical loft conversion take?
Timelines depend on the type of conversion and access. Once we understand the scope and structure, we will give you a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout the build.
Can I live in the house during a loft conversion?
In most cases, yes. Loft conversions are usually carried out from the top down, which helps reduce disruption to the rest of the house.
Do loft conversions need planning permission?
Many loft conversions fall under permitted development, but this depends on the property and design. We can help you understand what applies to your home and guide you through the process if approval is needed.
How do you deal with stairs and head height?
We assess head height, stair positioning and layout early on to make sure the new space feels comfortable and complies with building regulations.
Do you handle structural work and steel installation?
Yes. Structural alterations and steelwork are a key part of most loft conversions and are planned and installed as part of the build.
Will I have one main point of contact?
Yes. You deal directly with the people running the job, so communication stays clear and decisions are dealt with quickly.
Yes. We carry full public liability and employer’s liability insurance, so your home and everyone on site is properly covered.
