Building requirements must be followed if you are converting a loft. Your architect or designer will advise you on this, but you will most likely follow the 'building notice' procedure, in which the local authority is notified of your construction and inspects at critical stages. If you do not get building regulation permission, the local authorities may take enforcement action, and your property may be more difficult to sell because surveyors look for this when inspecting a home for a buyer. The structural work, fire separation and control, thermal performance, stairs, and windows will all be of interest to the building inspector. The approval of building regulations validates the work's safety and structural suitability.
As long as the project fulfills construction rules and follows health and safety laws and planning, the stairs can be installed wherever they best meet the demands of the project. However, you should be aware that a single flight cannot have more than 16 stairs; the head height must be at least 2000mm over the length of the flight, and the pitch or slope must be 42 degrees. A fire door must be installed at either the top or bottom, with a certain space (typically 400mm) between the door and the top/bottom tread.
Finally, the answer relies on the company you're working with and the sort of loft conversion they're dealing with. Roof light conversions are generally the quickest to complete, lasting around four weeks. Dormer conversions might take up to five weeks to complete. Hip-to-gable conversions might take up to seven weeks to complete. The mansard conversion will take around eight weeks to complete. The first week or so will be spent prepping your home and obtaining the necessary supplies and tools
A Building Regulation approval, assessed by a surveyor, is required before carrying out a loft conversion. Because the majority of loft conversion projects are allowed house developments, no planning clearance is required. If your development plans surpass specific restrictions and criteria, such as increasing the roof area beyond its boundaries, you will need planning clearance.
