Recommendation - Loft Conversion


Miffski

Recommended Posts

We wanted to convert our loft quickly and with as little disruption as possible as I was expecting my first baby. We chose ?HamiltonWalters? because their price was competitive and they seemed very professional in their attitude, but also because the team just seemed incredibly nice. They started work when they said they would and they got the job done in time for baby?s arrival with the minimum of fuss and disruption. They were extremely considerate and what really impressed us was that Lenny was always available to answer our questions, no matter how inane they were. They did an excellent job and we love our new loft space.

I am very pleased with the end result. Lenny did a great job.


Before and after pictures show exactly how much work was carried out and how much better my loft now looks! This is a genuine picture of my bathroom... please see further attachments if you are still sceptical... I think that will answer all your snide comments.


Thanks

Miffski, some people are sceptical when someone joins the forum just to post a recommendation. I think thats really harsh as I'm sure you have lived in Dulwich for years, have followed the forum for ages but have never been excited enough before to open a forum account.

People do post false recommendations on here, and I think this company in particular has been recommended by multiple first time posters. Sorry to raise suspicions Miffski, but it can and does happen.


On a related note, I had been hoping to get an extension done (hence keeping an eye on recommendations on here), but it looks like planning will be turned down. I am going to appeal. If I am successful would you be up for showing your new space to potential new hamilton waters customers?

I probably wouldn't let people from this forum into my home if I?m honest. Buuut if you get in touch with Lenny he might be able to help?


He has a good website as well if you type in Hamilton Walters on Google it should just pop up?


Hope the Loft goes well for you and you get that planning! I know it can be a pain!


Thanks

You let lenny in your house and he was presumably a stranger. If someone wanted to see the work then lenny could come with them (i'm sure you also let lennys team in who were starngers) If i went out of my way to set up an account to say what a good job someone had done I would expect people to ask to see it. Thats kind of the point of the forum to avoid false posters so you dont get unscrupulous types who resort to lying on forums to get work. Are you actually in ED

Lenny is on Trust a trader and is a registered builder...A little more trustworthy than the people you come across on forums.


I have looked at other posts on here for recommendations and haven?t seen any requests to visit people?s homes. I wouldn't have posted if that was the case!


This forum seems a little too paranoid for me, I won't be bothering in future, it's more hasstle than it?s worth by the looks of it.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
