Permitted development loft conversions
Converting your loft into usable space is one of the smartest investments that you can make as a homeowner.
Not only are you creating more living space in your property for you to enjoy while it is your residence, this loft service creates additional value that you will benefit from when the time comes to sell your property.
By falling under permitted development, loft conversions are a relatively straightforward undertaking. Especially when compared to other changes that you could make to add value to your property, such as with certain types of extensions.
So, whether you want the most profit from your property sale or you require a little bit of extra space in your family home, a loft conversion from The Loft Doctor can answer all of your wishes.

Loft conversion plans
If your loft is not currently in use, then you should get started on your planning right away!
An unused, uninsulated loft bleeds money from a property through energy bills. Not only this, but you might be struggling for space in your home while the answer to your problem sits right above your head.
At The Loft Doctor, we perform a tried and tested Loft Healthcheck survey to ensure that your loft is suitable for a type of loft conversion. During this visit, we will provide you with a bespoke plan for your loft conversion, and detail precisely how your conversion can help your needs.
Our plans include everything from the roof to the staircase and everything in between! And what’s more, the price that we quote at this visit is the price that you will pay: absolutely no hidden costs or extras.
Do you need planning permission for a loft conversion?
In the majority of cases, you do not need planning permission to convert your loft.
However, there are some circumstances where you may require planning permission before any work can be carried out. Some examples are:
- If you are building higher than the existing highest point of the property
- You are increasing the volume of the original roof space by more than 50 cubic metres (40 cubic metres for terraced properties)
- If you are building a veranda or balcony
Our expert team at The Loft Doctor are knowledgeable about building regulations and remain up to date on any changes to planning permission requirements so you don’t have to!
