What makes a loft 'habitable'?
Comments
-
Loads of companies out there. One thing I would say is that this company, uses the words loft conversion, for works that I wouldn't dream of calling a loft conversion and it is/was my business.
They also seem to use a lot of phrases out of context, things like fold down staircase, when they mean loft ladder.
Personally I would avoid anyone who considers calling boarding a loft out as a conversion.
In answer to the thread title, complying with all the relevant building regs.
Suitable floor structure, roof structure and wall structure, fixed staircase of the correct pitch, suitable fire separation, detection and warning throughout the property, correct levels of insulation, signed of electrics etc. If it doesn't have BR sign off it doesn't exist0 -
Post the details of the work you want done on Mybuilder.com and choose a builder based on your budget and the reviews of others.0
