A storage conversion must only be used for storage purposes.
Non-habitable or storage conversions must not appear to be habitable and must have minimal fixtures and fittings. They must be only dry lined and not plastered and must have a fold-away staircase, not a fixed one.
Habitable spaces must have an appropriate means of escape and a minimum head height of 2 metres is required.
Habitable loft conversions and hobby rooms can be used as another bedroom.
This is because safety measures are put in place to ensure your loft conversion is just as safe as any other room in your house.
It’s important to note that all habitable loft conversions require building control and you should speak to our sister company ecoTrus.
