Converting your unused loft space into a useful and stylish addition to your house is a complex business. As well as the difficulties present in the actual designing and building of your loft, there are many government and council requirements and permissions that need to be met or gained. Some require approval before construction starts and others will be checked afterwards to ensure compliance.

To be able to have a loft conversion that increases the amount of habitable room in your house, you need at least 2.3 metres in height from the bottom of the ridge board to the top of the ceiling joists in your attic.
