Question 1

Can I have a loft conversion?

Answer

Most often, the answer is yes. Building regulations impose no minimum height for the room, however to create a functional and beautiful space in your loft it is recommended to have at least 2.2m of head height, measured from ridge timber to top of the ceiling joist. It is also worth considering where the new staircase will fit on the floor below and requires 1.9m head height. We have a variety of designs to make the most of the space available.
