Is my house suitable for a loft conversion?
Before any planning, measurement or drawings, there are a number of factors that you need to find out to see whether or not your loft is suitable for a conversion:
- Head Height
Take a measurement from the top of the ceiling joist to the bottom of the ridge timber. This measurement should be an absolute minimum of 2.2m. Planning applications are likely to be refused if otherwise. - Pitch Angle
The higher the pitch angle of the roof, the more useable floor space your loft conversion will have. A pitch angle of 40° or more is considered suitable for a conversion. A structural loft conversion like the Hip to Gable, or Mansard is required if you want to negate the limit of the pitch angle and have sufficient head space. - Obstacles
Fixed obstacles such as chimneys, ventilation pipes and water tanks need to be taken into account before deciding on any loft conversion plans. - End Shape
The shapes of the ends of the loft – Gable (straight) or Hipped (angled) – will affect complexity and floor space calculations.
