Why Choose Pimi for Loft Conversions
Structural Expertise
Not all lofts are suitable for conversion. We conduct thorough structural assessments and work with engineers to ensure your roof can safely support the additional load.
Building Control Compliance
Loft conversions require Building Control approval for structure, fire safety, insulation, and access. We handle all submissions and inspections to ensure first-time sign-off.
Space Maximisation
We design staircases that minimise footprint loss on the floor below and optimise headroom in the loft. Every square metre counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
Most loft conversions fall under Permitted Development and do not require planning permission. However, you always need Building Control approval. We will assess your property and advise on requirements.
How do you ensure fire safety compliance?
We install fire-rated doors, upgrade your existing doors if needed, and ensure escape routes meet Building Regs. This often includes upgrading the landing smoke detector to a mains-powered interlinked system.
Will the work disrupt the rest of the house?
There will be some noise and dust, especially during structural works. We seal off the work area, use dust extraction, and schedule noisy work for agreed times. Most families stay in the house during the conversion.
Can you install an en-suite bathroom?
Yes, if there is space and access for plumbing. We will assess during the survey whether it is feasible to route waste pipes and water supply to your loft.
What happens if your survey finds the roof structure is inadequate?
We provide options to strengthen the structure with additional steelwork or alternative approaches. If conversion is not viable, we will tell you before you commit to any costs beyond the survey.
