We lowered the ceilings in the rooms below - was a bit messy but turned out
OK - wasn't that expensive to do except it left me with a lot of
redecorating - gave us a loft room with max headroom just over 2m and rooms
below reduced to about 2.15m

Hi All,
I have wondered for a while about convering our attic space into something
useful - the usual, add a dorma on the back and roof windows on the front.
In terms of floorspace it's pretty good (we have a 1900 terrace so the
loft
covers most of the rooms below), but the roof is quite shallow, and at its
highest point is only about 5'11''.
Are there any options here? Can we even do a conversion on a roof this
low?
Could we extend the roof height?
Any advice much appreciated. I started a new thread as the other loft
conversion one was a bit different!
Thanks,
Matt
