Is there enough room? Where will the stairs go?
What type of dormer can we have? Do we need planning permission?

Skyline will be happy to help you assess the suitability of your loft or attic space for a conversion, and advise on key issues such as headroom and the type of staircase needed for access.

In some cases, local planning regulations will dictate the type of conversion allowed. Where such approvals are not needed, a choice of dormers will be allowed if required (depending upon sufficient headroom) or a Velux only conversion may be suitable. Whichever loft type is decided upon, Skyline will make sure that maximum floor space is created.

Sometimes the new staircase may be able to go in a choice of locations, and there can also be options for the position of the new fire door; either at the top of the new stairs or maybe at the bottom, leaving the new loft space 'open plan' style.

Whatever the design, Skyline will provide practical, helpful advice and solutions to ensure you get the right loft and the best value for money.

Note: The minimum required headroom for loft/attic conversions is 2.2 metres from the top of the ceiling joist to the underside of the ridge (apex/highest point)
