Loft conversions in Frinton-on-Sea are a great way to make use of unused space in your home. But before you start the process, make sure your loft is actually suitable for conversion. Your loft should have at least one skylight and enough natural light to illuminate the area.
Permitted development is a way to alter the use of your property without having to apply for planning permission. This means you can make changes to your loft conversion without the need for an application to be made. There are certain rules in place that mean your loft conversion must comply with certain regulations. These include:
- The building work must be completed within two years of getting permission;
- You can't change the use of the building from a single house into anything else;
- Your loft conversion must not be visible from a public highway.
It is crucial for all projects to comply with building codes, whether the project is a quick internal Loft Conversion or a large Loft Conversion.
Fire Safety
Fire safety is a crucial aspect of a Loft Conversion, and it's important to ensure that your space is as safe as possible in this regard.
- Smoke alarms: Building regulations require the installation of smoke alarms in the new space, and ensuring they are connected to the main line.
- Sprinklers: If you desire added security, installing sprinklers is an added level of safety.
