Loft Conversion Stairs by Loft Conversions Essex

If you have plenty of downstairs floor space but could do with more bedrooms and bathrooms, then a loft conversion can be the perfect way to bring your home into proportion. When it comes to your loft conversion in Essex, you may not have a lot of choice about the position of the staircase, but you can influence its look.

Staircase For Loft Conversions Essex Loft Conversion

The team at Loft Conversions Essex will remind you of the importance of the staircase design.

The higher the angle of the roof pitch, the higher the central head height is likely to be and if dormers are used or the roof is redesigned, the floor area and potential for comfortable headroom can be increased.

Essex Stairs Regulations

While the building regulations impose no minimum ceiling height for habitable rooms, you will need to factor in the 2m headroom required for stairs in your conversion. Placing the loft conversion staircase over the existing stairs will ensure you do not lose out on headroom and will minimise the floor space taken up by the stairs.

The team at Loft Conversions Essex can tell you that traditional frame type roof structures are often the most suitable type for loft conversions, allowing the space to be opened up relatively easily and inexpensively.
