Need Planning Permission For Loft Conversions Reading To Complete The Job
You'll need to assess your current loft space potential, secure planning permission and other consents, spend time getting the design right and appoint the best partners for your project. When it comes to starting the conversion process, it's always worth being proactive so get in contact with your local council or planning officer to find out if you require planning permission.
Your new floor will also need soundproofing, and this is easily achieved by laying a mineral fibre quilt between the joists. Loft conversion insulation will include things like solid sheet/board insulation, rolls of rock wool sound or fibre-glass heat insulation.
Small Roof Space Reading Conversions
If you live in a conservation area, or if, for example, your roof space isn't tall enough, getting planning permission may be more complicated. Traditional frame type roof structures are often the most suitable type for loft conversions, allowing the space to be opened up relatively easily and inexpensively. The higher the angle of the roof pitch, the higher the central head height is likely to be, and if dormers are used or the roof is redesigned, the floor area, and potential for comfortable headroom, can be increased.
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. Before discussing how to build a loft conversion and moving into the territory of planning permission and building regulations, it's important to note that a loft conversion is difficult to complete alone.
