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 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.

Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
Dormer or rooflights, insulation and plasterboard
En-suite, electrics, heating and fire safety upgrades

What approvals does a loft conversion need in Wales?

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. Rear dormers within set volume limits are often allowed, but the detail differs from England's, so we confirm the current Welsh limits against your roof before the design is fixed.

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.
