Free estimate terms
From your initial inquiry, our consultant will visit you and determine the feasibility and potential of your loft. Shortly after your consultation, you will receive a our estimate price that is valid for acceptance for 30 days.
After you have accepted our estimate price, our architects will contact you to measure up
the loft space and draw plans ready to submit to your Local Authority.
Before we hand the plans over to the Local Authority, we will submit them to yourselves for approval. Once the plans have been approved and signed, they will be submitted to the Local Authority for determination
Once planning has been approved we will then prepare Building and Fire Regulation plans and submit to your Local Authority Building Control department for design appraisal and structural calculations to justify the proposed design to the Structural Engineers department for checking and approval.
Prior to the works commencing we will obtain final permit for skips and material storage and use on the street.

Are there different types of loft conversions?
Yes. Converting the area already available in your loft is called a "rooflight" or "Velux" conversion. A conversion with an extension to the roof is called a "Dormer" conversion.
Can all lofts be converted?
No. It is not practical to convert some lofts. Convert Loft Conversions offer a feasibility study to potential customers - this involves a visit by one of our surveyors. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
Do I need planning permission for my loft conversion?
Only in certain circumstances. Our surveyor will be pleased to advise you.
Do I need building plans for my loft conversion?
