South London Lofts

Recommended Posts

Loft extensions are quite the thing in East Dulwich but beware South London Lofts. They told us how much local experience they had, how focused they were etc but once the contract was signed they handed over to a company called Build London who we had never heard of and didn't know we were about to employ. 18 months after they began work we are still waiting for them to finish the snagging. It is impossible to get hold of them, they never turn up when they say and the frustrations of the build mean we wish we had never heard of them. Make sure you don't just get a start date for the work but an anticipated completion date with penalties for failure to comply. It would be quicker to train as a builder and do it yourself than use this company. You have a choice. Do NOT use South London Lofts.

We used South London lofts too. We went to it with our eyes open as there was some negative comments about their lack of communication etc. They were however substantially cheaper than other companies. We were on a tight budget. We were aware they sub contracted to Build London. I don't think this is that unusal. They were a bit painful with the snagging but I found dealing with Neringa in the admin team much easier. This is the email for her if you don't originally have it - [email protected]. Don't bother with Craig or your PM go straight to her team. She'll sort it all out. She did for us.


Although it was painful we were happy with the end results so hopefully you will get it sorted asap

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
