Ours is just under 2m so always thought there's now way with building regs, but interested in the bit about the height requirement is only for the top of the stairs. Is possible then to do something like lower the ceiling above the stairs only to give the head height there, but the rest of the room with a reduced height? Maybe step up or a slope from the "taller" section to the "shorter" section?

Excellent video, glad I found this! I live in a 2020 Barratt Homes build, 4 bed detatched and we have over 3 meters in the attic. The one thing I've heard second hand from various people is that new builds could require the roof is taken off to fit steel support beams. Is there any truth to that? It's a truss roof, had the old 'don't put anything in the attic' schpeil at time of purchase, standard. Cheers!

I’m buying a salt roof house. It’s probably only 2-3 foot lower from other side. I want to a loft conversion to create large bedroom and storage. House is 7meters wide and 12m length to garden. The front of the house would look really weird if just took out the chunky large box on side on house. Can you recommend a roof can I change to within in a very small budget. How much does a new roof cost. Can someone just do the frame bit only

[notofthisworld]

If you did the job yourself and just got someone else to fit the velux windows, how much would that cost?

My house is an end townhouse 3 storeys built in 2001. You don't need any steel do you?

What about the position of the chimney? Semi detached house.

2.3m head height in the loft conversion or from its stairs to the floor below?

[blizteredthumbs]

Hiya, great info. So our new property has a vast area of space, what it doesn't have is a vast head height. But, being 6' tall, it's not impossible to walk in the middle, I just need to duck a slight bit. So, my question is, the roof is a steep degree, definitely a sag free design on the left and the right as you look down the tunnels (all directions) but in the center there are ridge beams, they are held in by two nails above and below.. I wouldn't even say structural, they are nailed to the sides of the ceiling and ridge beams (floating) .. are these safe to remove? They are NOT down supported or original truss design, I've even found one without a single nail shot into the base piece. What do you think?

My question is always about the wall around protected stair, they need to be fire rated but how does one prove rating of existing walls 30 or 60 min. Moreover, if one can't prove the fire performance of walls around the stairs or needs upgrade, how doe this actually work? Does the stair need to be taken down, walls upgraded with layer of plaster to both sides and then rebuilt?

Hi, I am in the USA, but also have a trussed roof. My main roof above second story has plenty of height for another room or two albeit small. My garage same kind of trussing. For the time being before I convert them do you think there is any risk in storing things up in the attics?

[crustythewanksock]

Nice one! How much would something like this with a couple of velux windows set me back roughly?

[jorgerivera]

You don’t talk about lifting the roof as an option?

[mramg]

Where the ridge height is too shallow (say 1930's) I assume it's almost the same work to just swap out the roof for a new attic truss (room in roof) prefab?

[rennom]

My loft has a fink truss arrangement, measures 2320mm from top of ceiling joist to bottom of the support at the apex of the roof. What finished height could i expect?

[stevenhunt]

"off the top of my head, this one is about 3.3m". Can you please tell me how tall you are so I can work out the total height 😁😁

[jcpayne]

My biggest concern is will it be too hot in summer and too cold in winter (and also affect the temp in the rest of the house)?

[techdad]

Do you cover the Greater Manchester region for your loft conversions with cabrio windows?

[carolineruddock]

Do you have any videos of a 2 4 height room?

[lewswinnie]

My property is single skin wall (no cavity) on a semi my loft is very spaceious but i have been told that i may not be able to have a dormer because of the weight it would put on the single skin wall?

Hi 👋 I have a 3 storey town house, built in 2004. The roof trusses are what are soemtiems know as "top hat" trusses, so they come in 2 sections. Are these able to be converted? Also, Are there any restrictions in turns a 3 storey into a 4? I read that I'd need a sprinkler system installed but so read that having fire alarms hardwired in would do. Any advice on this please. Thank you
