Loft Conversion by Loft Conversions Blackpool
Although it may only be a modest increase, building a loft conversion will add weight to your house and so you'll need to make sure that the structure of the building can take it. You'll need to ensure you have mains powered, interlinked smoke detectors in the hall and landing areas of every floor in your home when converting your loft.
The Various Types Of Loft Conversions In Blackpool
Another type of loft conversion we offer is converting non-residential spaces (most commonly warehouses, docks, former factories or water towers) into habitable homes.
The additional space of your loft conversion can be used as an additional bedroom or two, a study or home office, a separate bathroom or a nursery. Popular uses for a loft conversion include a teenage den, cinema room or home office.
Building Regulations In Blackpool, Lancashire
Many people forget that when converting a loft, you will need building regulations approval. Building regulations apply to loft conversions to ensure that the structural strength of the new floor is sufficient, the stability of the existing structure is not endangered, there are safely designed stairs to the new floor and reasonable sound insulation exists between the conversion and the rooms below.
Did you know that planning permission may not be required for your property as many conversions fall within the permitted development rights.
