Unlock Your Loft When Headroom Is Too Low

Have you got a detached house but not enough head height? Leeds Loft Conversions specialise in planning and raising your roof height.

A roof lift can make properties suitable for loft conversion when a standard Velux or dormer is not possible — we handle planning, structural design and the full build.

Need More Head Height?

Current building regulations require a minimum ceiling height of 2.2m at the highest point for a loft conversion.

Low headroom doesn't have to stop your plans. A roof lift increases the roof height using attic trusses, making the loft suitable for conversion.

We also turn flat roofs into pitched and sloping roofs — ideal for bungalows and properties where extra volume is essential.

  • Increased usable loft space
  • Better ceiling heights
  • Ideal for bungalows & detached homes
  • Planning support included
  • Flat to pitched roof conversions
  • Fully project-managed build

The Process

How a Roof Lift Works

A roof lift involves lifting the existing roof off and replacing it with a new, larger and higher roof structure.

Traditional roof trusses are replaced with attic trusses — stronger in construction and without internal cross beams, leaving a clear, usable loft space ready to convert.

From survey and planning through to structural work and completion, your project is fully managed by our Leeds-based team.
