Loft Conversion Company Recommendations


PMAC1977

Recommended Posts

I am considering carrying out a loft conversion at our house in East Dulwich and would be keen to hear of any recommendations in order that i can get a few quotations.


I appreciate that there are a number of older threads covering this topic but would be keen to hear of any peoples recent experiences (either good or bad.


Many thanks

Just picking up on this thread to say don't go for Landmark Lofts. Not one of the usually mentioned ones on this forum but well known in SW London and looking to spread to SE London. We've in fact just withdrawn from using them rather than incurr further agro down the line as their after-sales conduct left us with no confidence in them or their ability to deliver. Their pre-sales service is very slick - one of the reasons we went with them was the fact that, of all the companies explored, they were the only one to actively follow up with us. However, after signing the contract we were the ones constantly having to follow up on queries/emails. Don't believe what their website says about their architects' experience in dealing with the 'unique challenges' presented by loft conversions if you want anything other than a standard dormer ? we had to get another architect to put forward alternative possibilities more in line with what we were wanting which they then adopted. Also, if you are seriously considering going with them, make sure you ask them about their project start policy before you sign the contract with them so you don't get any hidden surprises on timeframes.

We had our loft done about two years ago and we're still very pleased with the results. We used a company called 'loftlife'. We have had a lot of building work done but of all the builders we used this company did the best quality work and were the most professional. It was an extremely stressful time for us as I was pregnant, but the loft conversion was the least stressful (compared with some of the other people we'd had in) and they finished two weeks ahead of schedule- one of the reasons we went for them was because their contract stipulated they would pay back ?100 for every week they went over the deadline.

The quality of the work was good. I would suggest being careful when selecting a loft company - seem to be a lot of dodgy ones out there- this one was recommended to us by a friend of a friend. It's worth trying to see some work by the company before you decide to instruct anyone.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
