Loft conversions are a popular home improvement for Dorset homeowners. But before work can start, you need a plan. Here’s an overview of what it should include.
The five steps
- Design. Decide on the layout of the space and choose finishes such as flooring, paint and fixtures.
- Approval. Get building approval from your local council, to make sure your loft conversion meets all the relevant building regulations.
- Insulation. Once you have approval, work begins. The first step is to strip out the existing insulation and fit new insulation that meets current building regulations.
- Finishes. Next comes painting, flooring and fitting fixtures such as windows and rooflights.
- Finishing touches. Finally, add furniture and decoration – and your new loft room is ready to use.
