Hi


We have been badly burnt by a cowboy builder/conman in the last 2 years - IAN FORT ex of ED Complete I am talking about YOU.


Anyway moving on (!) we are now looking to do a loft conversion and I wondered if anyone could share experiences of either Loft Life or Create Space??


Many thanks in advance

Just in case anyone is considering Dulwich Lofts - we cannot recommend them after numerous ongoing problems.


We started our loft conversion last October and everything is still not finished. Feel free to private message me if you want further information/details.

We're in the same boat - quotes from three firms and finding it difficult to make a decision.

We've been to Classic Lofts, Simply Lofts, and Add A Room.


We thought our problem was solved when we got really glowing recommendations for New Zealand and Outlook, but neither of them has got back to us, in spite of a reminder phone call.


Help!!

WE are currently using Loft Life.... mostly a good experience. The people who are front line are lovely, professional and care. Sometimes the people who do work for them care less (or not at all....just want the job done). Everyone laughs at how "builders are", as if they really are cavemen that don't know what a bin is or that living with their rubbish, empty cups left on building roofs etc is what you have to put up with. But I treat them as professional tradespeople nonetheless. Happy to elaborate further if you like.

Also currently using loft life - and while it's early days they've been great so far! Keeps us informed on what's happening and seem careful and considerate - really lovely guys working on our house. They won our business as they offered the best price (compared with prestige lofts and south london lofts), but also took the time to really explain the process for our house.


So we have high hopes for our finished loft. They have great reviews on check a trade too which I also found reassuring : http://www.checkatrade.com/LoftLife/Reviews.aspx


Will update once job is finished!

We used Loftlife and were pleased with them. Their communication was good, and they were easy to deal with and responded quickly to queries. Any minor snagging issues were dealt with promptly. When we desperately needed the scaffolding down afterwards so works could get started on our garage by another builder, they sent their scaffolders over at the weekend so works could begin the following Monday. Can't say fairer than that. They were also good at not nagging for money, which was confidence inspiring!

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
