FAQs

Conversion plans — common questions

Do I need a building warrant for a garage or loft conversion? +

Most garage and loft conversions in Scotland require a building warrant, particularly where the space is being converted to habitable use. We can confirm what applies to your specific project.

Can any garage be converted? +

It depends on the existing structure and site. We'll assess your garage as part of preparing your plans and flag anything that affects feasibility.

Is there enough headroom for a loft conversion? +

Headroom and roof structure vary by property. This is one of the first things we look at when discussing a loft conversion with you.

Can you deal with the council on my behalf? +

Yes, we handle the preparation and submission of warrant documentation and liaise with building standards on technical queries.
