Truss Roof Loft Conversions

What is a Truss Roof Loft Conversion?

A truss roof loft conversion involves transforming attics with a framework of W-shaped trusses, common in modern homes. This type of loft requires structural adjustments to remove or reconfigure the trusses creating an open and functional living space. Despite the added complexity the result is a bright, spacious loft ideal for a variety of uses.

How Much Does a Truss Roof Loft Conversion Cost?

The cost of a truss roof loft conversion depends on factors like the size of your space, structural adjustments required and your design preferences. Due to the intricate nature of reconfiguring trusses this type of loft is often more expensive than simpler conversions. We offer a bespoke quote following a site visit.

Do You Need Planning Permission for a Truss Roof Loft Conversion?

Most truss roof loft conversions fall under Permitted Development rights. However, if your design involves dormers, balconies or exceeds height restrictions planning permission might be required. We’ll guide you through this process.
