Loft conversion in Solihull and Birmingham
Solihull and Birmingham have a broad mix of homes, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to 1930s semis and post-war estates. Whether a loft suits a Velux, dormer or hip-to-gable conversion comes down to head height, roof pitch and the shape of the roof, and that varies street by street across Solihull and Birmingham with the age and style of the house.
What the survey checks
We measure head height at the ridge, check the roof structure and joists, and work out where the staircase can go without taking too much from the floor below. As our home base, Solihull and Birmingham gets same-week surveys for most enquiries.
Planning and building rules in Solihull and Birmingham
Many loft conversions in Solihull and Birmingham fall under permitted development, within limits on added volume and where the dormer sits. Every conversion needs Building Regulations approval for structure, fire escape and insulation. Conservation areas and some roof alterations need full planning, so we confirm the route for your house before quoting.
