Our HMO loft conversion service in Beeston
Plenty of houses have roof space that could hold extra bedrooms, but in Beeston we always measure the headroom first, because floor under a 1.5 m ceiling does not count towards room size. That tells you how many rooms the loft can really add.
A loft room usually creates a third storey, so we plan the protected escape route and alarm upgrades for the whole Beeston house, not just the new floor. We also check the occupant count, because seven or more residents needs planning permission anywhere in Nottinghamshire.
- Headroom survey and countable floor area calculation
- New staircase and protected escape route
- Structural design and building control application
- Alarm extended and doors upgraded on lower floors
- Planning and permitted development position checked first
