Hi there

We want to do our loft this year as need to create a bit more space for our growing family. We are in the Dulwich Estate area so will have to abide by their rules as well as Southwark Council's. Has anyone on here used Outlook Lofts and would you recommend? Thanks very much in advance for any insider tips/knowledge!

I would also happily recommend Outlook Lofts. They did the loft conversion on our previous house, which we were so delighted with, we used them again when we moved. We now lived in the Dulwich Estate area, which meant some limitations in terms of what we could do with the loft but Outlook have dealt with them before and so knew exactly what was and wasn?t permitted. We?ve always been impressed with the friendliness of the team, their work ethic and the overall finish. PM me if you?d like any further info.

Hi there, Outlook have just finished doing a loft for us, and I would definitely recommend them - as others have said, they work to a high standard and the guys on site are very professional and pleasant to deal with. Much more so than some other, ahem, construction professionals that we have worked with.


It's worth noting that the design and the building work is done by two separate but related companies - this wasn't completely clear to us at the start, and I have to say I found the builders a lot more responsive and easier to interact with than the designers. But that's really a detail.


The other thing to bear in mind is that they tend to have long lead times - although from our perspective that was a good thing, since it indicates that they are in demand.


PM me if you want any more specific feedback.

Couldn't recommend Outlook highly enough. They did our loft 5 or 6 years ago now and no issues at all. I particularly liked that they put a team on your job and only your job, so the team are not trying to do multiple lofts at the same time. This means it gets done much quicker and with better continuity on the project.

    • That is absolutely ridiculous.
    • I usually use Mason and Green recently to get to Heathrow. They arrived early and were extremely reliable. The cars are immaculate and had friendly drivers. They also provide child seats for all ages. Used them at 6am. 
    • I think you can write to your local council to get the street cleaned more regularly. Also the may put more posters up to remind ppl to do clean up 
    • Absolutely right.  The other issue is that rescue centres like Celia Hammond make it nearly impossible to adopt a kitten or cat that desperately needs a home. I know many many people who have tried to adopt and have been refused, and only one couple who have been deemed to have a good enough home. The reasons people have been refused have been that they aren't in a position to take two kittens - unless it's changed recently you weren't considered unless you took 2 as cats  wouldn't be homed without a companion. But lots of people can't afford to feed and insure 2 pets. Another reason I've heard several times is that the potential adoptee lives on a road, not an A road or the south circular but just a road. But what is the other option they're looking for? A country estate? Another reason a couple of friends have been refused is that they have jobs and Celia Hammond said that they were looking for people who were at home all day . So again, what are they looking for? People who can afford not to work?  We are told 'adopt don't shop' but out of the many many families or individuals I know who have tried to give a loving home to a kitten / cat literally only a couple have been accepted, so have ended up buying a kitten. People who have had cats all their lives and adore cats. Of course it's important that adoptees are vetted but it's problematic that cat charities are deciding that a cat / kitten without a home would rather live in a cage at a rescue centre than with a loving person who has a job or lives on a road or cannot afford to pay for the upkeep of more than one pet. My friend has recently tried for months to adopt kittens or cats through various centres and although she was prepared to take two, was rejected by all rescue centres  as she lives on a (quiet) residential road in ED and doesn't work from home every day. She works from home 3 days a week. It's insane.
