This type of loft conversion is limited to the existing volume currently within the roof space. We would create a room/rooms within the existing shape of the roof at present using Velux windows for light and ventilation. We would not extend or alter the shape of the roof with this type of conversion.

Under standard planning regulations, planning permission is not required for this type of conversion. However, a full set of Architect's plans would be necessary along with the calculations of a Structural Engineer. This will be necessary to justify all current building regulations.

However, if your property is in a conservation area, there may be restrictions on the design and shape of the Velux windows to be installed. A planning advisor from AH Building Contractor will be more than happy to identify whether your property is in a conservation area or not.

It was really nice to receive such a friendly service. The workmen were great- very friendly and full of information and advice. The office staff were there for us every step of the way and we were made to feel special and valued. Our final result was the icing on the cake - it was great and my wife and I are thrilled.

One of our friend's had recently had an extension with AH Building Contractor and recommended them to us. It was the best recommendation we have ever had. AH Building Contractors built a two storey rear extension which was formed into a dining room and bedroom and the results were fantastic.

We called AH Building Contractor as we wanted to create extra living space, but we were unsure which way to proceed.  The advice and professional design options they gave us was unbelievable.  We would never have thought we could create so much space and blend it so well with the existing house.  We can't wait for the dinner guests to ask 'how did you do this'  'Did you use professional interior designers' - We certainly did they are AH Building Contractor of Manchester!
