Hi all,

I would like to put in a permanent stairway to my loft (1950's 3 bed semi),and then board out the loft for easier storage and maybe the kids scalextric set. Oh, and a velux window for light.

Can i get a builder to put in the stairs and move the (rafters?) that come down in a V shape from the roof to the joists? This will make a nice open space. Then I can board it out. Or is there a regulation saying a loft can only be simply boarded or fully converted, nothing in between?

Thx

Lawfully once you fit a permanent staircase it is considered habitable and must comply with the Building Regulations.
