Converting your loft might be a low-cost method to increase your living space and the value of your house. While some lofts cannot be converted, many can; nevertheless, some are easier and less expensive to adapt than others. Headroom provided above the stairwell and landings. This is the most important component. This is to ensure that there is at least 2m of headroom once the new flooring, beams, and so on have been installed. Consider the headroom throughout the bulk of the space as well. This is considered a comfortable height.
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.
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.
