​

How long does a loft conversion take?

Most lofts are suitable for conversion if they have sufficient head height, a suitable roof structure, and space for a staircase. A professional loft survey is the best way to confirm whether a loft can be converted.

​

Are loft conversions energy efficient?

Modern loft conversions are highly energy efficient when built with quality insulation and energy-efficient windows. A well-insulated loft conversion can reduce heat loss, improve comfort, and lower energy bills.
