- Can my loft be converted?

Almost any loft can be converted depending on where you live and the type of property you have. Most houses come with an allowance for permitted development. The following points may help you decide if you loft can be converted.

  • Look at similar houses to your on your street. If they are converted this is a strong indication that you can convert your loft too.
  • The minimum height that you will need for your loft to be converted is 2.2m. So get a measuring tape and measure. Victorian houses may not have sufficient height.
  • Does your roof have roof trusses for roof rafters? If you are not sure this article on trusses and rafters may help. Converting a roof with trusses is possible but will be more expensive as it will need extra structural support.

Our friendly team are fully experienced and qualified.  

So if you are looking for a team of qualified and trusted builders who carry out loft conversions in Surrey, we can help.

"In my experience finding a good reliable construction company that does a decent job is rare and difficult to find. That’s why I am so pleased we chose this company for our project. From the outset they stood out as a professional, and well run business. They planned our work, and delivered an end product that we couldn't be happier with. The work was started on time. Their workers were punctual, reliable, friendly and polite. The work was done to the highest standard. Cliff and all the team were a pleasure to deal with. We would use them again and highly recommend them".
