FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?

Many lofts fall under permitted development. Mansards and front dormers often need planning. We advise and handle applications.

How much head height do I need?

Aim for 2.2m+ finished head height. We’ll survey and propose options (dormer, steel config, lowered ceilings below) to achieve it.

Will Building Control sign-off be included?

Yes. Structural calcs, insulation, fire safety and stairs are coordinated to meet regs, with certification at handover.
