Loft Conversion - recommendations in ED please

[Ginster]

Thanks again everyone - we've had Classic round to quote and impressed so far - getting a few more quotes in then will make our decision!

[SuzieK]

Just a quick line to see if anyone that used classic lofts wouldnt mine pming me thecost. The quoted me ?45k for 2 bedrooms and a shower room ( in loft and on back) but this seems a bit steep. I was expecting it to be around ?30/?35k

I would have to pay for decoration, bathroom suite etc on top of the ?45.

Any ideas?....

We got 4 quotes (2 years ago) and Classic were in the middle.

Try this fellow. Has been in the building trade for about 25 years now and done a loft conversion for my friend last year. Finish is immaculate, I was so impressed.

Classic Lofts did ours and 3 years on we are still REALLY happy with it. All to price and time line but do keep communicating. I recommend a weekly site meeting. My two neighbours used Loft Life and would not recommend them. One neighbour has had to have theirs redone by another company.

Another thumbs up for Classic Lofts. They did a great job for us ... six weeks from start to finish with a very hard-working and considerate crew. This was the second loft conversion I'd commissioned. The first, when I lived a fee miles away, was with Econoloft, who were nowhere near as good as Classic!

We're in the middle of a conversion with loft life. Very happy so far and much less disruptive than I thought it would be. V considerate and tidy builders

hello, I am also planning a loft conversion. Not much luck getting through to Classic Lofts on North Cross Rd, 2 days of leaving messages with their answering service but no call back. Just wondered if we are talking about the same Classic Lofts or is there another one that is being recommended here?

Resurrecting this thread 2.5 years on.

Any more companies recommended or comments on those mentioned in this thread?

Thanks!

[fergju]

we are currently using absolute lofts and used them a few years ago. The quality of work from our specific team is great and the prices are competitive.

[llyamah]

My turn to resurrect this. Please let me know if you have a recommendation. Currently thinking outlook or classic.

[karen104]

Recommend Outlook without any reservations. Happy to show you my loft if you want to PM me.

[vrossoni]

Whatever you do DO NOT USE LOFT LIFE! PM if you need any more info. Happy to share.

[AJ_EDF]

We used Loft Life a couple of years ago - they were ok-ish - well, they were cheap. They do seem to over commit and will have multiple jobs on the go. This results in lots of communication problems, issues with sub-contractors (the draftsman / architect and scaffolding guys were a nightmare) etc etc. If you've got the energy to micro-manage and your time frames are flexible, it might be worth the trade off on price (but only just!).

If we had our time again, we would have used Martin's builders (who completed our wrap-round extension and front drive).

[Jeremy]

We were fairly happy overall with Loft Life, although the plumber they subcontracted to was absolutely terrible. Price-wise, nothing to choose between them and Classic Lofts.

I'd use them again... as long as they use a different plumber.

[Northern Star]

Outlook did our conversion and we are very pleased with it. First time I have actually enjoyed having builders in the house!

[pr5ined]

Hi Looking to resurrect this thread as we are looking into a loft extension? Any recent recommendations from locals in ED?

[duroche]

We used Loft Life a couple of years ago. We originally thought they were OK (only OK, mind, not great) but having seen a few issues appear since the loft was finished and having seen more lofts at other people's houses, I would definitely not recommend them. The quality just doesn't seem up to scratch.

Happy to explain further if you want to PM.

[DirtyBox]

We used Taylored Lofts, hardest working builders I've ever used and the quality of the work was great. Came and fixed some minor issues a year after the work was completed. We had LoftLife round to quote and Spencer came across as a bit of geezer, offering to do bits for cash to avoid VAT for example, didn't feel comfortable with trusting him with the job.
