Planning Permissions

Most loft conversion projects, such as Velux and dormer conversions, fall under "permitted development," meaning you won't typically need planning permission. However, for more extensive projects like hip-to-gable conversions or conversions that alter the exterior significantly, planning permission may be required. We handle the application and liaise with local authorities to keep your project moving smoothly.

Building Regulations Approval

All loft conversions, regardless of size, must comply with UK building regulations. These standards ensure that your new space is safe, structurally sound, and energy-efficient. Our team works closely with certified inspectors to confirm that your loft meets all necessary standards for insulation, fire safety, and structural integrity.

Party Wall Agreementss

If your home shares walls with neighbouring properties, a Party Wall Agreement may be required, particularly for dormer or hip-to-gable conversions. We can assist in arranging agreements with adjoining properties to avoid disputes and maintain a harmonious conversion process.
