A loft conversion is on a lot of our wish lists but if you only usually go into your loft before and after Christmas here are a few things for you to consider that you may not have noticed.
Head height is important, you may need someone to help you with this bit. Ideally, the highest point needs to be 2.2m with enough space to have the new staircase installed from the landing below and create a landing in the loft room.
You may need to consider moving things like your boiler or hot water tank to make room, you’ll also need to consider if your existing boiler/plumbing system can deal with the additional room. You may also consider removing a chimney breast if your loft has one but this would need to be done by a professional.
One final consideration would be are you ready for the clear out?
