Covering Colwyn Bay
Colwyn Bay is about 35 miles north-west of Wrexham. We also cover Rhyl (10 miles to the east), Bangor and Llangefni.
Homes in Clwyd
Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.
What does a loft conversion involve?
We start with the head height. You need roughly 2.2 m or more from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge for a conversion to work without raising the roof. From there we design the staircase position, the type of conversion and the en-suite, and manage the whole build including fire safety and building control.
- New floor joists, steels and staircase
- Dormer or rooflights, insulation and plasterboard
- En-suite, electrics, heating and fire safety upgrades

How is a loft conversion approved in Colwyn Bay?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
Wales has its own loft and roof permitted development rules.
What can change the price or programme?
- Fire safety rules can mean new fire doors on the floors below.
- Party wall notices are often needed for steels bearing on a shared wall.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Is my loft suitable for conversion?
If there is about 2.2 m or more from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge, it usually is. We check this at the free site visit.
Do I need fire doors?
Often yes. Building regulations require a protected escape route from the new floor, which usually means fire doors on to the stairs and linked smoke alarms.
Who deals with the council for a project in Colwyn Bay?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
