Loft Conversion by Loft Conversions Devon
Although it may only be a modest increase, building a loft conversion will add weight to your house and so you'll need to make sure that the structure of the building can take it. When converting the loft of a bungalow you need to ensure you have mains powered interlinked smoke detection at ground and first floor level and that all habitable rooms at first floor level have an escape window.
The Various Types Of Loft Conversions In Devon
Another type of loft conversion we offer is converting non-residential spaces (most commonly warehouses, docks, former factories or water towers) into habitable homes.
In order to maximise productivity, a home office requires plenty of natural light, so steer clear of black-out blinds and heavy materials when designing your loft conversion. Popular, but less traditional, uses for a loft conversion include a teenage den, cinema room or home office.
Building Regulations In Devon, United Kingdom
Loft conversions will always need approval under building regulations (irrespective of whether they need planning permission) so it pays to adopt the full plans application approach and have a detailed scheme approved before you approach a builder. The team at Loft Conversions Devon provides everything you need to know about loft conversion design considerations, costing, planning and building regulations.
Did you know that you can extend your roof space by up to 50m3 (or 40 m3 for terraced housing) under permitted development rights.
