Since there are no external alterations to the existing roof profile, you can proceed with your conversion without the hassle of navigating complex planning regulations. This makes the process quicker and more straightforward, allowing you to enjoy your new space sooner.

Need Help Measuring Your Loft Height?

For a loft conversion to comply with Building Regulations, your existing loft space must have a minimum height of 7ft (2.2m). Measure from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge beam in older properties or to the underside of the trusses in newer properties; do not measure to the felt or tiles.

If your loft meets this height requirement, it can be converted, and we can schedule a no-obligation survey appointment.

If your loft is slightly below this height and you have high ceilings on the floor below (common in older properties), you may have the option to lower the existing ceilings to achieve the required loft height, provided it is feasible.

We are happy to offer our expert advice, so please get in touch if you have any questions about the requirements for a loft conversion on your property.
