| Some roof spaces are more easily converted
than others and a full assessment requires professional
help. But the untrained eye can often work out the basics.
Go up into your loft space and take a look around.
Is there enough headroom at the centre under the ridge?
You ideally need 8ft (2.3m) clearance, although you
may find that you can still get a useful room from as
little as 7ft (2.1m). A quick check with a tape measure
will suffice.
Also try to assess whether your roof was built using
trussed rafters or purlins, as the latter is much easier
to convert into usable loft space.
