   • Can my home take the weight of a loft conversion? Clearly building a loft conversion will add weight to your house and, although it may only be a modest increase, you’ll need to make sure that the structure of the building can take it.
   • How much head height do loft conversions require? Get your designer to illustrate clearly how much headroom you’ll have in your loft once it’s converted – people are often disappointed by how much space they have to actually stand up in and on plans this isn’t always clear.
   • Building Regulations & Party Walls for loft conversions. Loft conversions always need approval under Building Regulations (irrespective of whether they need planning permission) so it pays to adopt the full plans application approach and have a detailed scheme approved before you find a builder.s.
   • How do I alter my roof’s structure & floor joists? Most roofs are constructed with internal support struts in the loft, propping up the rafters and purlins (horizontal roof beams) in traditional cut and pitched roofs, and making up the web of braces in modern trussed rafter roofs.
