By adding an extra storey to your home, a loft conversion changes the entire fire escape principles of your home, and if it's not done properly it could quite literally become a death trap. The building regulations sets out the requirements and compliance can be achieved by following Approved Document B. The rules aren't just boxes to tick though - they're life-saving requirements, so it's essential to understand how they differ depending on the number of storeys involved.
