Homes in Dyfed

Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.

What do you get with a loft conversion?

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.

Do you need permission for a loft conversion in Dyfed?

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?

The new staircase usually takes space from the landing or a bedroom below.
Party wall notices are often needed for steels bearing on a shared wall.
