Neighbors in council house coverted loft

That's not a "no" then. That's a statement of fact.

Almost every loft conversion requires new timbers for a floor. How that is done, and how height is dealt with is all down to the designer. There is no height restriction for loft rooms either.

I never said it was a no meaning it couldn't be done, I was saying it was a no in its current form which is what my neighbors have done. You couldn't install a steel or install new timbers without us noticing.

One risk from inadequate loft conversion is spread of fire, which definitely could affect your house.
How can tenants legitimately convert a loft in a house they don't own?

I'd be inclined to just say in passing " You having some work done" as i suspect they know you will here the noise. Make it small talk about when you did work with the dust and mess etc. I can understand your concerns regarding effects to your house. It may not be a structural issue they cause but a fire/flooding risk. I believe but don't quote me that some councils/housing associations allow work but when you move out it has to be put back to how it was when you moved in.

It may just be they boarding out the loft for storage or a train set.
