• Permission To Alter Your Loft Conversion
• An attic conversion or loft extension is the
  method of converting an unused attic space or
  loft area into a usable room, usually used as a
  living room, office room, a child's playroom, or
  a storage area. Most people are surprised to
  learn that an attic conversion can cost less than
  a new house, but of course you should not
  overlook the fact that an attic conversion also
  involves a lot of work, especially if you are
  planning to use it as a living space. The most
  obvious changes that you will have to make are
  the roof and the ceiling. However, there are also
  some subtle changes that you might have to make,
  such as replacing insulation and electrical
  wiring. Moreover, while most loft extensions and
  conversions come with a guarantee or warranty,
  some do not, so it is best to confirm this before
  you start spending money on something that may
  not be fully covered. Do you want to learn more?

• Before you begin your loft conversions, make sure
  that your loft has all the features that you
  need, such as ample floor space for whatever
  purpose you have in mind. Take measurements of
  your attic, including any crevices and gaps, and
  check whether the space fits your present plans.
  If you are planning to convert an existing gable
  or bay style roof into dormer loft conversions,
  then you will definitely have to modify the
  existing roof, as well as the adjacent ceiling
  and the windows. You cannot simply install
  windows and skylights, and hope to have a fully
  functional converted loft space.
• In order to ensure the safety of your converted
  attic space, you should install suitable fire
  safety equipment, such as smoke alarms, closed
  circuit televisions, fire extinguishers, and
  other necessary safety measures. In addition, you
  should ensure that the roof is properly insulated
  and ventilated, especially during cold weather,
  and that you have sufficient fire exit points.
  Another important safety measure that you should
  take during your attic conversions is to make
  sure that the windows are equipped with suitable
  escape routes. This can be achieved by fitting
  skylights on the windows, or by installing a
  ladder to enable quick escape from burning
  buildings. Make sure that your new loft space
  complies with the fire safety measures mentioned
  above, and that you have the required fire
  escapes. You can learn more at Loft Extensions

• During your loft conversions, it is advisable to
  work with a qualified building control officer.
  Such an officer will give you advice on the
  various types of loft conversions that are
  available, and will help you in compliance with
  local building regulations. He can also check the
  feasibility of your planned extension if there is
  one. Before you start your conversion, you should
  consult a professional structural engineer who
  will analyze the structural problems associated
  with your planned extension. He can also suggest
  the best methods of insulation, construction, and
  construction that meet the regulations set by the
  local authority.
• While working with a professional structural
  engineer, you should also make it a point to work
  with a qualified home office builder. The home
  office builder will play an important role in
  organizing your planning work, and will ensure
  that your loft conversions go smoothly. The
  builder will ensure that all the necessary
  documents, including building permits, are in
  place before you begin work. It is advisable to
  discuss your plans with a builder prior to
  beginning work. If you are not happy with the
  outcome of your plans, you should not hesitate to
  ask the builder for suggestions. You may find
  more details about this at Loft ladder fitters
  Hertfordshire.
• Prior to commencing your loft conversions, you
  must ensure that you get the required planning
  permission. Only if you do not have proper
  planning permission, will your bathroom or shower
  go up in the attic. Planning permission can be
  easily obtained from the local council. Before
  you start the process of loft conversions, check
  with the local council to see what the required
  planning permission is. In most cases, you will
  be asked to provide evidence of how the new
  bathroom or shower will be used. If you want to
  convert into another room, it is also necessary
  to get planning permission for that as well.
