Loft conversions in Leeds
The 1930s and post-war semis in Leeds are the classic loft conversion house. The roofs are pitched and usually cut rather than trussed, the ridge is high enough for a proper room, and a hip to gable with a rear dormer turns a cramped loft into the biggest bedroom in the house. We draw the stair first, because where it lands decides whether the loft works, then the dormer, the steels and the finish.

Permission, permitted development and the Leeds portal.
A rear dormer within permitted development limits usually does not need a planning application to Leeds City Council. Front dormers, houses in conservation areas, flats and anything that goes over the volume allowance do need one. If your Leeds loft already has approval, the drawings are on Leeds Public Access and we can price from them. Every loft needs building regulations approval, which is part of our job.
Loft conversions: questions people in Leeds ask
Is my loft suitable for conversion?
The main test is head height: around 2.2 metres from the top of the ceiling joists to the underside of the ridge is comfortable. Trussed roofs from the 1970s onwards can still be converted with new steels. We will measure and tell you honestly.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
A rear dormer within permitted development limits usually does not need it. Front dormers, conservation areas and flats do. Every loft needs building regulations approval, which we handle.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Six to eight weeks on site for a dormer conversion. The house stays liveable throughout, with most of the work accessed from scaffolding outside until the stair goes in.
