Top Ten Questions Homeowners Ask

1. Is the Building Regulations approval process lengthy?

Not with us at the helm. Our experienced team ensures a smooth and swift process, often getting approvals faster than you'd expect.

2. Will I need building control permission for a loft conversion or extension?

Yes, structural alterations ALWAYS need building control approval. Not having this may make your home difficult to sell and may de-value it.

3. Are there any hidden fees?

Transparency is our motto. The quote you get is what you pay. We may, at our discretion, advise you if you need to involve other professionals such as architectural designers or party wall surveyors, and these will need to be contracted by you. Also any building control submission fees would be passed directly onto you.

4. What if there are changes after the calculations are done?

No worries. We offer free revisions if changes are required.

5. How can I ensure my loft conversion is safe and compliant with regulations?

By working with experts like us, you ensure that all aspects of your loft conversion, from structural integrity to regulatory compliance, are professionally designed. This means it does not come down to just "trusting the builder" while the project is underway.

6. What if my property is outside the city?

We do all our work remotely. Our UK wide service ensures that we've got you covered, no matter where you're located.

7. What are the risks of doing a loft conversion?

Without proper project planning and structural engineering expertise, conversions can face risks such as structural damage, building control issues, or inability to advertise the loft as "habitable space" when selling the property. Our structural engineering service is specifically designed to minimizes these risks to the home owner.

8. Can any house have a loft conversion?

Most homes with a loft can have a conversion, but this depends on various structural, planning and building regulation considerations. Our initial assessment process will clarify this for your specific property. If for any reason a loft conversion is not possible we will refund the remainder of your fee.

9. Do you only handle residential properties?

Our primary expertise lies in domestic conversions and extensions, but we handle various projects.
