I'd recommend Benchmark Lofts too (http://benchmark-lofts.com/). Tom Payne who owns the company is a good guy and we got more than we expected with our conversion - which doesn't happen often when you have work done!

Happy to show people our loft if you're considering Benchmark - we're in West Norwood.

you would be well advised to get a Certificate of Lawfulness before starting.


If someone complains after the work has been done and you have not followed all the PD rules the council could ask you to rebuild the extension.

Hi all

I would massively recommend Benchmark Lofts as well. We have just had our loft converted, and Thomas and his team finished on time (in fact slightly earlier than expected), came in on budget and have done an amazing standard of work. They are all are so polite and respectful, they coped with my toddler causing chaos everywhere and they honestly went over and above what we could have expected them to do. Thomas is really communicative, and has an awesome memory - you just have to ask him to do something once and it just gets done. Also happy to expand on any of this if you PM me. Genuinely, we could not have been happier with the process or the end result.

You might be interested in Buildpath who are assisting me with my loft - https://www.buildpath.io


We had a loft conversion done several years ago by one of the companies mentioned here, with associated planning issues. When we were doing it there was no precedent for raising the ridge so we only managed to create a bathroom in the loft space (rather than a bedroom and bathroom.) We are looking to redo it - Nick from Buildpath came round and discussed options for increasing the loft space, produced a package with 3D images and planning information which has given us vital information regarding costs and what can be achieved with the space prior to engaging an architect.


Given previous bad experience with builders/architects this is giving me a much better starting point for this project. Nick is on 02032858330

      Selling my flat with No-Files

      By Andrea 175 · Posted

      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
