Looking for an architect with experience of complex loft conversions

[Abbyb]

Hi All,

I am hoping to do a loft conversion on a top floor flat in East Dulwich. It's a complicated project and I've been advised to consult with an architect and get plans drawn up and submit a planning application ASAP.

As Southwark council are notoriously hard to please, I think I would really benefit from a local architect with knowledge and experience of dealing with them. If anyone has any recommendations they would be gratefully received. I would also be very interested in recommendations (or warnings) about loft conversion builders.

Many thanks,

Abby

Hi Abby

Keith at Keith Whitworth Architects is a great local architect. He has done many loft conversions, and a project for our house as well. He's at http://www.kwa.uk.com ([email protected])and based in Herne Hill.

Thanks, Madeleine

We've not had a great experience with Keith Whitworth and his recommended builder. We're still having to rectify major issues almost a year later (things beyound snagging). Others might have had a more positive experience but I sorely regreat using him and his team.

I'd recommend Cryssanthi at o25 architects - she's a friend of mine and local mum but she has lots of independent recommendations on here and SE23 Mums - search 'Chryssanthi' on here to see contact details and recommendations.

I do have to say that we had a completely different experience and were extremely happy with Keith's work.

He is brilliant

Mention either Lenny or Harley if you get in touch,

Hope this helps

Give local architect Mick at UV Architects a call. They have lots of experience and completed projects in loft and basement conversions, and live in the area.

Re K Love message

I am deeply shocked by this post.

The job was completed on time and signed off well over year ago. The builder did a wonderfull job .

I have not heard from the client since, so i cannot react to what her concerns might be.

Hi All ,

I wouldn't recommend Keith Whitworth either, I found him to be very un-professional. My only consolation was the architectural plans he drew for me fell apart during some basic scrutiny and no building work was started.

Keith's statement that the job was completed on time is an outright lie, as he well knows. We ended up having to move in with my mum after our short term rental was finished, as they over ran by over a month. This was when I was 9 months pregnant.

The contract was extended yes, but the works were still all completed.
