Very informative video, thanks 👍

I can now bring in more family members into my household. Shokran (thanks) Ahmed from East London

Ours is just under 2m so always thought there's now way with building regs, but interested in the bit about the height requirement is only for the top of the stairs. Is possible then to do something like lower the ceiling above the stairs only to give the head height there, but the rest of the room with a reduced height? Maybe step up or a slope from the "taller" section to the "shorter" section?

Possible with something called a dropped landing if you look in to that and with maybe a window too above could help but with out seeing its hard to tell.

I’m buying a salt roof house. It’s probably only 2-3 foot lower from other side. I want to a loft conversion to create large bedroom and storage. House is 7meters wide and 12m length to garden. The front of the house would look really weird if just took out the chunky large box on side on house. Can you recommend a roof can I change to within in a very small budget. How much does a new roof cost. Can someone just do the frame bit only

Thanks for the information .👍👍

@@djmooreloftconversionspeci458 sorry I’m just wondering, when u mentioned a minimum head height, does it apply to the stairs below or the space inside the loft itself, sorry for confusion and thanks for the response

"off the top of my head, this one is about 3.3m". Can you please tell me how tall you are so I can work out the total height 😁😁

My question is always about the wall around protected stair, they need to be fire rated but how does one prove rating of existing walls 30 or 60 min. Moreover, if one can't prove the fire performance of walls around the stairs or needs upgrade, how doe this actually work? Does the stair need to be taken down, walls upgraded with layer of plaster to both sides and then rebuilt?

Do you have any videos of a 2 4 height room?

If you did the job yourself and just got someone else to fit the velux windows, how much would that cost? My house is an end townhouse 3 storeys built in 2001. You don't need any steel do you?

@djmooreloftconversionspeci458

Difficult to say if you need steel or not. But in most case I would say yes if a truss roof. Problem with a 3 story home is the fire regs as it gets a little bit more complex as they would expecting misting system if going to 4 stories.

You don’t talk about lifting the roof as an option?

Where the ridge height is too shallow (say 1930's) I assume it's almost the same work to just swap out the roof for a new attic truss (room in roof) prefab?

Hi, I am in the USA, but also have a trussed roof. My main roof above second story has plenty of height for another room or two albeit small. My garage same kind of trussing. For the time being before I convert them do you think there is any risk in storing things up in the attics?

@djmooreloftconversionspeci458

In the uk ins very common to use the space for storage. Just have to be respectful of the amount of weight you store up there I guess.

Anything possible but just depends on cost and impact. May be worth speaking to a architect or structural engineer to get concrete idea of what could be possible with you home.

Hi 👋 I have a 3 storey town house, built in 2004. The roof trusses are what are soemtiems know as "top hat" trusses, so they come in 2 sections. Are these able to be converted? Also, Are there any restrictions in turns a 3 storey into a 4? I read that I'd need a sprinkler system installed but so read that having fire alarms hardwired in would do. Any advice on this please. Thank you

@djmooreloftconversionspeci458

Жыл бұрын

yes that style would still be able to be done. yes most cases you would need a misting system installed how ever we have used a fire engineer to generate a report saying that fire doors and smokes alarms through out would be enough and we have done a few this way and been passed off.

My biggest concern is will it be too hot in summer and too cold in winter (and also affect the temp in the rest of the house)?
