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 info@homesinharmony.co.uk 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.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
