Loft Conversions
Loft conversions offer a fantastic opportunity to maximise unused space in your home, turning an underutilised attic into a functional room such as an extra bedroom, office, or playroom. Converting lofts in Scotland comes with specific challenges, particularly around meeting fire safety standards, structural stability, and maintaining sufficient insulation.
​
While planning permission is often not required for internal loft conversions, this depends on the scope of work, such as if dormer windows are installed or if the conversion alters the roofline. Projects in conservation areas or listed buildings will likely require permission, as well. Regardless of planning, a Building Warrant is essential for loft conversions, as this ensures that the space meets building standards for structural safety, insulation, fire regulations, and ventilation.
