FENNOR / ATTIC CONVERSIONS
Could the space upstairs become somewhere useful? Fennor helps you explore your attic’s potential, with a clear answer on the assessment needed, the effect downstairs and the work involved.
FEASIBILITY BEFORE FINISHES
Explore what Fennor helps you understand before the layout is agreed: usable space, the stair, the structure and the effect on the rest of the home. Suitability needs a measured survey and relevant professional design.
Illustrative section. The structure, stairs and fire-safety design must be specific to your home.
Fennor begins with the room you hope to gain, then explains what a measured feasibility survey needs to establish. A sloping roof does not make the full footprint usable; the resulting section needs to show space after the ceiling, insulation and finishes.
A ROOM THAT WORKS FOR YOU
Fennor begins with the extra space you need—storage, a hobby room or a bedroom—and explains why that use changes the assessment. We do not treat every roof space as a ready-made habitable room.
We set out the measured survey and relevant design appointments for structure, headroom, stairs, fire safety, insulation and ventilation. You then receive an explanation of the feasible options and their effect on the rooms below. External changes also need a planning check.
Discuss an attic feasibility assessment ↗FROM YOUR IDEA TO A FEASIBILITY DECISION
We turn the intended use and number of users into the starting brief, including the storage you would lose and any changes to rooms underneath.
We use existing drawings, roof-work records and photographs where available. Missing records can become part of the survey; do not enter unsafe or inaccessible roof areas for an enquiry.
We explain which investigations and professional appointments establish the stair options, services and wider house implications. You know the purpose of the next assessment before agreeing it.
YOUR PROJECT WITH FENNOR
We explain the choices, the work involved and what happens next, so you can decide with a clearer picture.
Tell us whether you want a bedroom, workspace or storage. We identify the measured and structural assessments needed for headroom, the roof and floor support. Existing ceiling joists are not assumed suitable for a habitable floor.
We explain how access would affect the floor below and what the professional fire-safety and escape review needs to establish. A storage conversion and a compliant bedroom are different jobs; you know which use is being designed and priced.
We bring insulation, ventilation, summer heat and sound separation into the brief alongside rooflights and finishes. We also identify any planning checks and access needed to existing services, then set out the complete proposed work and price.

USEFUL ANSWERS
Plain language. No pressure to have it all figured out.
It depends on the available space and required structure, stairs and fire-safety provisions. We explain the feasibility assessment first, so you have a sound basis for deciding whether to take a bedroom design forward.
The property and external changes determine that. We identify the relevant planning checks and explain the next step. Planning permission and building-regulation compliance remain separate requirements.
