01Roofs in Weston-super-Mare
The houses here, and what their roofs will take.
Weston has some of the biggest roof spaces in North Somerset. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the seafront are tall, often already three storeys, with steep roofs that can take a proper room without changing the shape of the building much.
Inland, around Worle and Milton, it is a different housing stock again: interwar semis, post-war estates and bungalows, where a dormer or a roof alteration is usually what makes the numbers work.
Tall period roofs
A steep Victorian roof often has the head height already. The work goes into the floor structure, the stair, fire safety and the light.
Fire safety on taller houses
Adding a storey to an already three-storey house brings stricter escape and fire separation rules. It is doable — it just has to be designed in from the start.
Bungalows inland
Out towards Worle and Milton, single-storey homes with big footprints are the obvious candidates for a full conversion with a dormer.
02Planning & approvals
What your project is likely to need.
North Somerset Council is the planning authority, and several parts of central Weston are conservation areas where permitted development is restricted. We will explain what applies to your street before any work is priced.
Building Regulations approval is needed for every loft conversion and extension. Planning permission is not always — and where a shared wall is involved, the Party Wall Act usually is. We will go through all three with you before anything is priced.
