Can All Lofts Be Extended?

Most lofts can be extended. There are some criteria that must be met in order to transform your unused loft into a habitable space. There must be a head height of at least 2.2 metres, which allows for a new floor to be installed and still offers two metres of head height. We will arrange a site visit, where our team member can assess your loft and provide you with valuable advice and recommendations.

Your property is a listed building
You live in a conservation area
Any part of the extension is higher than the existing roof
Your dormer windows face the road or invade your neighbours property
Your home has previously been extended to the permitted development size.

We will submit the planning application and supporting documents as part of our service should you require planning permission.
