UK-wide Loft Planning Permission & Building Regulation Solutions
You've noticed the roofspace in your semi-detached house gathering dust. You've heard loft conversions create space, but planning permission is complex. Loft Extension Expert simplifies the process for homeowners across the UK. Ensure your conversion is compliant and ready to build.
What we do to get the paperwork ready
We start by surveying the loft. The ladder may need adjustment if it's too steep or too shallow. We check the hatch's fit and seal, the insulation's type, the joists' spacing, and the soil stack's condition. We note the light fixture's presence and the ventilation's route. We'll tell you if it's not worth fixing.
How We Start Your Loft Planning Process
- 1 Confirm exactly what you want done, from a Velux loft conversion to an ensuite
- 2 Remove anything blocking the loft hatch so access is clear for the survey
- 3 Check the loft hatch is not fixed shut and can open fully
- 4 Make sure the lighting is working in the room below the loft
- 5 Look for any water tank or soil stack in the loft that we should know about
Watch out for
- ✓ Look for damp patches on the ceiling
- ✓ Check the roof's noise when it rains
- ✓ Notice cracks where the wall meets the roof
- ✓ Watch for cold air blowing through gaps
- ✓ Be aware of any pest activity or droppings.
