"Depending on what you are using the loft space for. Most carpenters/loft conversion companies can advise you on weather you'll need to get the roof strengthened.

For roof strengthen you would need to call in an architect/structural engineer"

"Either a general builder, loft conversion company or a carpenter as it will be a carpenter who will be doing 80% of the work and a carpenter can always call in other trades to do other aspects of a build"
