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?....

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!

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?

Hi there,


Interesting reading through all the posts regarding PP and PD for loft extensions and Fixated is correct.


We are an Eco renovation and building company with experience of over 10 years in loft extensions, ground floor extensions and whole house refurbs.


We work with our own architects or can work with one you have appointed, and would be more than happy to come round and discuss your project and to provide you with a free quotation.


You can contact us via [email protected] or 0844 504 8867. Or you can contact me directly on my mobile 07939838896


Warm regards


Nic

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).

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.

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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
