5 out of 5 stars Finally a 'proper' loft conversion book!   October 5, 2006
 42 out of 43 found this review helpful

If you want to employ an architect and a builder to convert your loft, this book is overkill. However, if you want detailed construction information, planning details and building regs information then this is the book for you.
Everything is laid out brilliantly with chapters on planning, building regs, floors, walls and roof.
If you want to do your own loft conversion - BUY THIS BOOK!


5 out of 5 stars Extremely useful   September 21, 2006

Covers all the technical aspects of loft conversion in depth, including timber and steel design, dormer construction, fire safety, insulation/energy efficiency requirements etc with plenty of detailed drawings to back it up. There's also a lot of excellent legal and procedural material (i.e. how permitted development/planning law applies to conversions, party walls issues, how local authorities apply the building regs to loft conversions and so on). Very thorough and well worth the money.
