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.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
