Looking for an architect with experience of complex loft conversions

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.

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.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
