1.0 out of 5 stars No help to the DIYer, 19 Feb 2005
By A Customer
This book may help you if you plan to have your conversion professionally installed. If you want to have a go yourself then it is of little (if any) value.... VERY DISAPOINTING !

1.0 out of 5 stars Back to basics, 9 Nov 2005
By Wrecker (sydney) - See all my reviews
If your thinking of doing a DIY loft conversion then you`ll need to look further a field. This read is back to basics, what is a joist, what is a roof. It has very little useful information. Lets face it if your going to attempt a loft conversion, you`d know what a joist is! I was expecting guides on altering purlins etc...this just disappoints.

2.0 out of 5 stars BASIC, 10 Feb 2002
IF YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING CONCERNED WITH LOFT CONVERSIONS THEN THIS BOOK WOULD BE A GOOD OVERVIEW OF THE WHOLE PROCEDURE.
HOWEVER IF YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED DIY'ER OR A BUILDER THE BOOK OFFERS NO PRACTICAL HELP WITH THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF CONVERTING A LOFT.
I ALSO NOTICED IT MADE NO REFERENCES TO SPACESAVER STAIRCASES WHICH COMPLY WITH BUILDING REGULATIONS AND ARE BECOMING EVER MORE POPULAR.
