Classic Lofts - we would go as far as to say look no further!


Lofts don't come cheap and it doesn't happen over night; so you want to feel on the other side that it was the right decision! We are just delighted and thankful we chose Classic Lofts. There is absolutely no doubt in our minds that we enlisted the best Loft Company. Seriously cannot convey how smooth the whole process was considering what is involved. All their team were polite, respectful tidy and competent.... we even kind of missed them after they had finished - which is nuts considering how unavoidably disruptive the whole thing is at times.

Its like observing a well oiled machine. Sometimes guys would just swoop in and swoop out - they were the 'tidy up guys', the damage limitation team. No moaning just gathered up what was no longer needed and tidied the space for the next phase of works.


From the first site visit we had from Kieran; nothing was an issue. Their work was methodical and their finish is exceptional and we just love our loft. 3 months down the line we still can't quite believe that firstly we've done it and secondly that it was as stress free as it was. Bernie the project manager was always flexible and calm, but behind the scenes there must have been a whole heap of orchestrating going on to allow for such a seamless operation.


So here are some things that we just really appreciated.

1. We had a very strong idea of what we wanted and how we wanted the space configured and they listened and considered and gave us as much as was logistically possible.

2. The work was continual - no great gaps of time between crew coming in.

3. The crew are not contracted in, but employed by Classic Lofts - hence they know each other, know how each other works and they just crack on without any friction or clash. Labours, carpenter, electrician, plumber & roofers were all fantastic.

4. Not once did we have anyone moan or grumble or say that's not what you asked for. And to be honest we did change our mind on a couple of ideas - and they were completely accommodating. So refreshing not to have moaning builders!!

5. Our bathroom fittings took forever to arrive - so our supplier sent a temporary set. Classic fitted both the temporary set and the final set without any issue.

6. We had a few additions; like moving a door so the space around the stairs worked better. They boxed in our meters and repaired our Apex. All these things we felt were done properly, with an aesthetic eye and not a hefty price tag.

7. They put a false supported temporary ceiling in our existing space, until they were ready to break through for the new stairs; which prevented the bulk of the dust and mess from entering our flat. Throughout, they did their utmost to keep our space as liveable for us as is possible under such circumstances.


Finally, it looks amazing. We don't feel like Classic Lofts cut corners with anything. We asked for 'old' doors to keep with the style we already had. The doors they provided us with were reclaimed and refurbished and are frankly stunning! The stairwell is beautiful - how they matched the existing spindles so perfectly still has us smiling.


A Loft Conversion is a huge job and it must be a complete nightmare if you get the company wrong.

We wouldn't know about that - and we feel very grateful.

    • Sophie, I have to thank you for bringing me squarely into 2025.  I was aware of 4G/5G USB dongles for single computers, and of being able to use smartphones for tethering 4G/5G, but hadn't realised that the four mobile networks were now providing home hub/routers, effectively mimicking the cabled broadband suppliers.  I'd personally stick to calling the mobile networks 4G/5G rather than wifi, so as not to confuse them with the wifi that we use within home or from external wifi hotspots. 4G/5G is a whole diffferent, wide-area set of  networks, and uses its own distinct wavebands. So, when you're saying wi-fi, I assume you're actually referring to the wide-area networks, and that it's not a matter of just having poor connections within your home local area network, or a router which is deficient.   If any doubt, the best test will be with a computer connected directly to the router by cable; possibly  trying different locations as well. Which really leaves me with only one maybe useful thing to say.  :) The Which pages at https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/broadband/article/what-is-broadband/what-is-4g-broadband-aUWwk1O9J0cW look pretty useful and informative. They include local area quality of coverage maps for the four providers (including 5G user reports I think) , where they say (and I guess it too is pretty common knowledge): Our survey of the best and worst UK mobile networks found that the most common issues mobile customers have are constantly poor phone signal and continuous brief network dropouts – and in fact no network in our survey received a five star rating for network reliability. 
    • 5G has a shorter range and is worse at penetrating obstacles between you and the cell tower, try logging into the router and knocking it back to 4G (LTE) You also need to establish if the problem is WiFi or cellular. Change the WiFi from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and you will get better WiFi coverage within your house If your WiFi is fine and moving to 4G doesn't help then you might be in a dead spot. There's lots of fibre deployed in East Dulwich
    • Weve used EE for the past 6 years. We're next to Peckham Rye. It's consistent and we've never had any outages or technical issues. We watch live streams for football and suffer no lags or buffering.   All the best.
