Loft Conversion FAQs
Do I need planning permission?
Most loft conversions fall under permitted development, but this depends on roof type, volume and location.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Typically 8–12 weeks, depending on complexity and weather.
Can I live in the property during works?
Yes — in most cases, access is via scaffolding until stairs are installed.
Do you handle Building Control?
Yes. We coordinate inspections and compliance throughout.
Is structural steel always required?
Almost always — RSJs are used to support new floor loads safely.
