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.

    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
