3. 5 Planning Your Loft Conversion
If the last time you looked in your loft was to bung in a few surplus boxes when you first
moved in, it's time to grab a torch and find out what you've got. You must be realistic
about the possibilities. Take a tape measure and note the ceiling height - it needs to be no
less than 2.3 metres to give enough headroom.

4. 4 How To Use Your Space
Firstly, do you want to retain an area of the loft for storage, and if not, what are you
going to do with all that junk that's already up there? A bedroom with an en-suite
bathroom is a popular choice, as is a den for the kids.

5. 3 Rules And Regs
To guarantee a safe and efficient end result, your conversion will have to comply with
building regulations. They cover areas such as energy efficiency, lighting, insulation
and fire safety. You will first need to submit the architect's plans to the local authority,
and then the building and fire regulation plans. The whole approval process should
take about three to four months.
