Use the roof space without compromising the rest of the house.

A viable attic conversion depends on more than floor area. Headroom, structure, escape, insulation, stairs and service routes determine whether the result feels properly integrated.

Scope

One coordinated build, with responsibilities made clear.

  • Roof-space feasibility review
  • Structural floor and roof work
  • Stair opening and connection
  • Insulation, ventilation and fire measures
  • Joinery and internal finishing

Planning and building requirements differ according to the physical proposal and intended use. A project-specific professional assessment is necessary before describing any attic as a habitable room.

  3. 03Stair geometry
  4. 04Bathroom, storage and service requirements
Project approach

The quality is in the decisions between the drawings.

Common questions

Before planning attic conversions.

01Is every attic suitable for conversion?

No. Roof geometry, structure, headroom, stair position and compliance requirements can make some options impractical or require a more substantial roof intervention.

02Does a dormer need planning permission?

The answer depends on the property, location and proposal. Confirm the planning position with the relevant professional and local authority guidance.

03Can an ensuite be included?

Potentially. Drainage routes, water pressure, ventilation, headroom and the room below all need to work together.
