What is included in a loft conversion in Inverurie?
A loft conversion turns an unused roof space into habitable rooms, usually a bedroom with an en-suite, by strengthening the floor, adding a staircase, insulating the roof and putting in windows. The type you need depends on the roof: rooflight, dormer, hip-to-gable or mansard.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- New floor joists, steels and staircase
- En-suite, electrics, heating and fire safety upgrades

Do you need permission for a loft conversion in Inverurie?
In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.
In Scotland, dormers and other roof enlargements usually need planning permission, especially on the front of the house.
What can change the price or programme?
- Head height under the ridge decides whether a conversion is practical.
- Fire safety rules can mean new fire doors on the floors below.

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.
Can we live at home during a loft conversion?
Yes. Most of the work is done from scaffolding until the staircase goes in near the end.
Can you visit a house in Inverurie to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
