Hi Dave,

If you are planning to use the loft conversion as a habitable room then you will need building regulations approval and a completion certificate.

Get in touch with the building control department in your area and ask them what is needed.

If the space is going to be used for storage only then it is ok to plaster and paint.

Thanks,
