we want to build beautiful homes with strong construction !

Good news for those who are looking to have loft conversions built into their homes. Over the past few years, England have simplified the planning permission regulations. Which is great news, as it takes away additional paperwork although some formalities still remain. 

However, if you want to consider a loft conversion, then we can aid you set the requirements needed for the build, this means that an initial assessment is done, to identify if the build falls under the Permitted Development Regulations. If the requirements don't meet these regulations, then we need to build loft conversions via the old route. 

In spite of this, if the wanting of extra living space is needed, then we offer loft conversion services of the highest standard. This means our design, and craftsmanship is of the best of the best. Having this done will enhance more then just extra space but it gives a better quality of life. 

Loft conversion types are vast and cover a wide spectrum. Therefore raising the question, what are those types. Some of the main and most common conversion types are as follows;

• Full Rear Dormer: A conversion type with a flat roof,

• Pitched Roof Dormer: A conversion type that looks like a doghouse which takes up a fraction of the roof, 

• Valux Conversions: A conversion that doesn't alter the existing roof other than additional skylights. But the alterations are done to the inside. 

• Hip to Dormer or Hip to Gable: A dormer with a hipped roof. 

These choices all fall under the permitted development regulations. 

Choices that don't fit under the permitted development, require additional planning permissions. 

Here are the following;

• Mansard : Due to the changes of the structure of the roof i.e. Sloped roof. 

These are but a few loft conversion types. The steps that we take are to do a site visit, to assess your loft conversion options, and follow the steps necessary. This is to assess if it fits the planning permission conditions or if it fits the permitted development conditions. 

Dependant of the assessment will determine if it's ready to convert, then the next stages will commence. If everything checks out, we will submit a quotation of your review and if all is well, we will have an in-prompt to meeting, to discuss the best design for the loft conversion build, with our team. The next step is to apply for building control and planning permissions.
