FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which areas do you cover across the Midlands?
We cover a wide area across the Midlands, including Burton upon Trent, Derby, Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Tamworth, Nottingham, Stafford, Wolverhampton, and Leicester, along with surrounding towns in Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and the West Midlands.
Do you provide free, no-obligation quotations?
Yes. All our initial property surveys and quotes are completely free of charge. We provide a detailed, written proposal outlining the exact scope of works, materials, and labour, with no hidden costs.
What is involved in a professional roof inspection?
A standard inspection involves assessing the condition of your roof coverings (tiles or slates), structural timber rafters, underlay membrane, lead valleys, chimney flashing, and roofline drainage (gutters and fascias). We capture photos to show you any issues we find.
How do I know if my loft is suitable for a conversion?
The main requirement is head height. You need a minimum of 2.2 metres of clear height from the top of the existing ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge timber. Other factors include the roof pitch, property type, and staircase position.
Do loft conversions always require planning permission?
No. Many loft conversions are completed under Permitted Development (PD) rights, which allow up to 40 cubic metres of additional space for terraced houses or 50 cubic metres for semi-detached and detached homes. However, you will need planning permission if you live in a conservation area, a flat, or if you plan to extend the front roof slope facing the highway.
Why do I need Building Regulations approval for a loft conversion?
Any conversion that creates a habitable room (like a bedroom or office) must comply with UK Building Regulations. This covers critical structural safety, floor loading, fire escape routes, thermal insulation values, and stair geometry. We handle the entire coordination and sign-off process.
How long does a typical roofing or loft project take?
Minor roof repairs can take a few hours to a day. A complete re-roof takes 4 to 7 working days. A loft conversion ranges from 6 to 10 weeks, depending on whether it is a Velux, Dormer, or Hip-to-Gable design.
What is your payment process and schedule?
For large projects like loft conversions, we work on a staged payment schedule tied to specific, completed construction milestones (e.g., steel installation, framing, plastering). We never ask for full payment upfront, and final payment is made only after final inspection and approval.
What happens after I submit a quote request on your website?
Once you submit your enquiry, our team will review your requirements and contact you within 24 hours to discuss your project. If needed, we will arrange a convenient time to visit your property for a structural inspection, after which we will send you a clear, fixed-price proposal.
