Bungalow roof - increase height

Posted by Imogen Stevens, on
Our bungalow roof is too low to convert with very frequent beams which makes the useable space very limited. Is there a way of taking the roof off, increasing the height of the existing walls and replacing the roof so that we can convert the roof into living space?

Hi Imogen Its fairly straight forward to raise a roof height the problem is planning and if you can get permission give your local council planning department a call and ask them what you require I am sure they will tell you if similar property's in the area have had in done and what your chances of having your application accepted. shawn slb
