Loft Conversions: common questions
How much does a loft conversion cost in Teesside?
A simple rooflight conversion starts around £20,000; a dormer typically runs £30,000, £45,000 depending on size and spec. Teesside prices are kinder than down south, but it's still structural work, the cheapest quote is rarely the best value.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions fall under permitted development and don't need it, but building regulations approval is always required, covering structure, fire escape, stairs and insulation. Be wary of any firm that brushes building regs aside.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Typically six to ten weeks for a dormer conversion, with most of the mess contained to the roof until the staircase goes in. Ask how the firm handles the roof being open to the weather, it's the North East, after all.
