I’ve included a selection of commonly asked questions regarding Loft Conversions and Loft Conversion Work for you.
Our quotes are free and valid for 3 months from the quotation date, unless a contract to carry out the conversion is signed within this period. In that case, the quotation remains valid until the conversion is completed.
The highest part of your roof must be over 2.3m. Total re-roofs are possible, and we carry out several a year, but they are subject to planning permission. Roof Rooms will handle any planning applications.
Guidelines for permitted development
Only around 1 in 10 loft conversions require planning permission, but all loft conversions require building regulation approval. In October 2008, the planning laws were relaxed, and all houses now have separate permitted development rights for the roof space.
At Roof Rooms, we take a look at your property’s condition and submit all necessary applications for you.
Under permitted development, you are allowed 40 cubic metres of additional roof space for terraced houses and an extra 50 cubic metres for detached or semi-detached homes.
Dormers are permitted on the front and sides of the property without planning permission.
Materials should be in keeping with the existing house.
No verandas, balconies or raised platforms, except for Juliet balconies
Side-facing windows need to be obscure-glazed; any opening to be 1.7m above the floor.
Dormers are not permitted in national parks and the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, conservation areas and World Heritage Sites without planning permission.
Roof extensions, apart from hip to gable ones, to be set back, as far as practicable, at least 20cm from the original eaves
So that you know, any previous roof-space extensions must be included within the volume allowances of 40 or 50 cubic meters.

Yes, we are experts in this field.
The construction of your loft conversion is carried out from the outside. All materials are taken into the loft through the roof, and the only time we work in the habitable part of your home is when we fit the staircase at the end. You don’t need to move out of the house during construction.
The MD supervises all our work. Jon Fitch. This will allow you to discuss any changes you may wish to make during the construction of your new room.
Our company’s ten-year guarantee covers all the work carried out by Roof Rooms. As we are members of the guild of master craftsmen, you have the option to take up additional cover if you wish.
We can provide a part conversion package that includes planning, building regulation approvals, the structural floor, stairs, and dormer/Velux. This package enables you to complete all internal work yourself or have your contractors handle the conversion.
If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly.
