Loft conversions on Studley housing
The modern housing that makes up most of Studley has trussed rafter roofs, which convert by replacing the trusses with a designed steel and joist structure. The pitches on many of these estates are steep enough to give useful head height, and where they are not a rear dormer within the volume limits is usually permitted development and makes the room. The staircase decides what you give up on the floor below, and we settle its position with you at the survey rather than leaving it to the drawings.
The older cottages in the village core have cut-and-pitch roofs and older timbers, where a new floor spans independently of the old ceiling and rooflights are usually the only external change. Every conversion, old or new, needs building regulations approval through Stratford-on-Avon District Council for the structure, the fire escape route and the stair, and our quote includes the inspections so the room is signed off as a bedroom rather than a boarded loft. Being a few minutes from Studley, we can usually start sooner here than at the edges of our area.

Had Marcus & the team remove my spray foam last week. They was very professional & left no mess. They replaced my old felt with a new membrane as it was so old & falling apart. I have recommended them to my neighbour. Good service all round.
Had spray foam removed by Carter Langfold they did an excellent job they were very courteous on site and made sure there was no mess left after completion of the works.
Very pleased with the professionalism & standard of work provided.
Questions
Loft conversions in Studley, answered straight
Is a loft conversion worth it on a Studley estate house?
Often it is the most cost-effective way to gain a proper room, because the structure already exists and the roof pitches tend to suit it. We measure the ridge height at the survey and tell you honestly.
Will I need a dormer?
On the shallower roofs, a rear dormer is what turns a low loft into a usable bedroom. On the steeper ones, rooflights alone can be enough. We show you the numbers at the survey.
Does the room count as a bedroom?
Only with the building regulations certificate, which covers the structure, fire safety and the stair. It is in our quote, and it is what a buyer's surveyor will ask for.
