Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in St Albans?
Most loft conversions in St Albans fall under permitted development rights and don’t require planning permission.
However, if your property is in a conservation area or you’re planning a larger extension (like a mansard or L-shaped conversion), planning may be needed. We’ll guide you through the process.
How long does a loft conversion take?
On average, a loft conversion takes 6-8 weeks from the start of construction, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Will a loft conversion add value to my home?
Yes, loft conversions typically add up to 20% to a property’s value, particularly in sought-after areas like St Albans where extra living space is at a premium.
Can my loft be converted?
In most cases, yes. We offer a free survey to assess whether your loft has enough height and space to be converted. Even lower-pitched roofs can sometimes be converted using a dormer or hip-to-gable design.
What type of loft conversion is best for St Albans homes?
Many homes in St Albans are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, which are well suited to L-shaped or dormer conversions. Semi-detached properties often benefit from hip-to-gable designs.
Do you handle building regulations and structural calculations?
Absolutely. We manage all required approvals, including architectural drawings, structural engineering, and compliance with building regulations.
