Is My Loft Suitable?

If you contact us about converting your loft, we will arrange a convenient time to visit your home, during which we will assess the suitability of the loft for conversion and advise on the most appropriate options for you. Our experience as building contractors allows us to convert most existing loft spaces, however, the following factors must be considered:

Head Height – 2.2m is the minimum but 2.4m will result in a more comfortable space after floor coverings and ceiling finishes. New staircases also have minimum height requirements.
Roof Pitch – angles above 30 degrees work best but generally the steeper the better.
Roof Structure – cut roofs are easier to convert, but we can also convert trussed roofs.
Water Tanks and Chimney Stacks – water tanks in lofts need relocating, while removing chimney stacks can increase space.

Planning and Regulations

The advantage of loft conversions is that, as long as they meet certain criteria, they don’t need planning permission. Furthermore, a loft conversion may be a feasible alternative to a house extension if planning permission is difficult to obtain. Planning requirements, however, are always determined on a case-by-case basis. If your conversion affects your neighbour’s boundary, it is also important to obtain a Party Wall Agreement. Adams Contractors Leicester Limited ensures compliance with all relevant and latest building regulations, covering everything from fire safety to structural support to plumbing and electrics.
