Roof Construction

Most homes built before 1960 will have the traditional ‘rafter and purlin’ constructed roof. These are often suitable for loft conversions as they tend to have a steep pitch to provide the required height and relatively clear spaces between the supporting framework.

The more modern method of trussed roof construction has been common since the 1960s – these are also generally good for conversions, however they usually have a shallow pitch and more struts. As a result these are more difficult to construct, but as long as they have got the sufficient height this will not be a problem.

Roof height

You will need a minimum roof height of 2.3 from loft floor at the centre of the room to underneath the ridge (highest point).
