I'd recommend Benchmark Lofts too (http://benchmark-lofts.com/). Tom Payne who owns the company is a good guy and we got more than we expected with our conversion - which doesn't happen often when you have work done!

Happy to show people our loft if you're considering Benchmark - we're in West Norwood.

you would be well advised to get a Certificate of Lawfulness before starting.


If someone complains after the work has been done and you have not followed all the PD rules the council could ask you to rebuild the extension.

Hi all

I would massively recommend Benchmark Lofts as well. We have just had our loft converted, and Thomas and his team finished on time (in fact slightly earlier than expected), came in on budget and have done an amazing standard of work. They are all are so polite and respectful, they coped with my toddler causing chaos everywhere and they honestly went over and above what we could have expected them to do. Thomas is really communicative, and has an awesome memory - you just have to ask him to do something once and it just gets done. Also happy to expand on any of this if you PM me. Genuinely, we could not have been happier with the process or the end result.

You might be interested in Buildpath who are assisting me with my loft - https://www.buildpath.io


We had a loft conversion done several years ago by one of the companies mentioned here, with associated planning issues. When we were doing it there was no precedent for raising the ridge so we only managed to create a bathroom in the loft space (rather than a bedroom and bathroom.) We are looking to redo it - Nick from Buildpath came round and discussed options for increasing the loft space, produced a package with 3D images and planning information which has given us vital information regarding costs and what can be achieved with the space prior to engaging an architect.


Given previous bad experience with builders/architects this is giving me a much better starting point for this project. Nick is on 02032858330

    • Yes, they thanked me for pointing out the errors of their ways and agreed never to do it again.  Or maybe not.  There was also two scenes when I asked drivers to turn their engines off when sitting idling by Peckham Rye.  I wont recount the tale but they did not appreciate my request.  I've long since given up.  My experience was similar to Nigel Havers, "go forth and multiply". https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p04qrnh6 I also used to fantasise about putting a potato in the exhaust.  Gone are the days when you could kill the occupants through carbon monoxide poisoning as the levels are relatively low.  Not oxides of nitrogen though.   
    • Hi everyone, We’re currently looking to upgrade our front door and are leaning towards something with a Victorian style to suit our home in South East London. While doing some research, I came across Victorian Front Door Company (https://www.victorianfrontdoor.co.uk), and their doors look absolutely stunning. Has anyone here used their services before? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience! How was the process, and are you happy with the final result? Looking forward to any insights or other recommendations for suppliers in the area. Thanks in advance! 😊
    • I saw couple of people in hi-vis jackets, hard hats putting a ladder up against the sign on my way out early evening 9th October. On my way back I looked at the sign and (it took me a few seconds!) spotted the change.
    • Our Australian friend wants to use google maps on his Ozzie iphone in London without using up his international data - I’m sure some of you can advise how he can do this ( before tomorrow morning?!)   thanks
