A complete service...

Most loft conversions will involve planning permission or building regulation approval. However, this is not as daunting as it sounds. Building inspectors are interested in two things:

1. Ensuring provision for the unlikely event of an emergency
2. Monitoring structures which alter the shape of your house

Regulators are particularly interested in loft windows; both what they look like and who they overlook. Installing a skylight or a VELUX window which does not alter the line of house is one way to sidestep this issue.

If other houses in your street already have loft conversions none of this is likely to be a problem.

The Lofts and Extensions Company can manage the complete process of getting planning and building regulation approval as part of its service. If you have already begun the process we can work with you and your designers to bring your plans to life. We will work to ensure your loft conforms to all rules and regulations:

• Solid structural modifications
• Fire safe
• Suitable sound and heat insulation
• Correct ventilation
• Proper waste disposal
