    I’m assuming your building has a pitched roof and you’re talking about attic storage within all/part of the roof void.

    You will also need to consider fire regulations.

    If the top floor has multiple units, then the ceiling is usually fire-rated in some way, to prevent fire spreading from one unit to another, and you’re cutting a big hole in it.

    Your attic, apart from having a floor so that you don’t put your foot through it, might have to have four walls and a new ceiling which are all fire-rated to the same standard as your present ceiling, just in case you have a fire in your unit whilst the ladder is down.
