The Loft Conversion Process

Loft conversions vary considerably depending on the property, and in most cases a loft conversion is entirely possible.

We will advise you of the possibilities available to you in consideration of your requirements and talk through all your options. 

We dislike pushy salesmen as much as you do! We will never try to talk you into something that you don’t want. We will always treat you and your home with the utmost respect, and will always take the time to listen to any concerns you may have.

During our initial free consultation we will take measurements and at our next meeting we will present you with a scaled design specifying the position of the stairs and the size and shape of the loft room. At this stage you will receive a quote for the work needed carefully detailing each step so that there are no surprises. Our pricing is totally transparent - we don’t believe in hidden extras.

From architectural plans and design, planning permission applications (if required) and building regulations, we will handle the entire process. Once we have building control approval, building works can begin on your new loft conversion at a time that suits you.

We will deal with all aspects of building works right up to the point that your loft conversion is ready for decoration. Our project managers will be available to answer any questions and deal with any problems and will keep you appraised throughout the entire process from start to finish.

We want you to be happy, and will do our very best to carry out our work with consideration for your comfort at all times.
