We used Classic for a loft conversion in 2010 (we are West Dulwich). All seemed reasonably fine (normal snagging type issues but nothing major) until about two years ago when the roof to our loft conversion began to leak. We have recently had a roofer up to look and the roof is covered in holes and water has started to come through - the roof timbers are getting wet and we need to repair the lead covering on the roof urgently. If anyone wants photos, PM me. The roofers who have had a look for us have explained that the lead used for the loft conversion roof is too thin - so the whole covering needs replacing with the proper grade of lead. The sash timber windows they put in are now also very soft in places, (not whether they need repairing). We have repainted them a couple of times, so not from lack of maintenance. We have contacted Classic this week - they guaranteed the loft conversion for 10 years - and I will keep the forum updated on how they respond and whether they honour the guarantee they gave us when they completed the work. **UPDATE*** Classic come round promptly and have agreed to re do our roof, which we are very pleased about. We have yet to discuss windows with them in any detail. But I am impressed by the speed of reply and no quibbling over replacing the lead on the roof.
