A loft conversion adds a bedroom and usually a bathroom without touching the garden or the party wall dispute that comes with digging. Two things decide whether it's possible, and we check both on the first visit: the head height under the ridge, and where a compliant staircase can land.
What decides whether it works
- Head height. You need enough clear height under the existing ridge before anything else is worth discussing — we measure it at the survey, not later.
- The staircase. It has to land somewhere legal, with headroom, without eating the room below. This is what kills more loft conversions than structure ever does.
- Fire escape. A converted loft changes the fire strategy of the whole house, which means fire doors and often a protected stair.
