Recommendation for Prestige Build for a loft conversion

Recommended Posts

There are lots of recommendations for Prestige on here. Adding my considered view after a 3 month project?


After an extensive search to choose a builder for a loft conversion I decided on Prestige. They seemed to offer a bit more of a bespoke service than the ?off the shelf? loft specialists and the manager Jay is a good communicator. They were not the cheapest but you get what you pay for I think. I started with a loft but ended up having a new roof, the back of the house repointed and various other building works as I was impressed with the overall standard of the work. The project managers I dealt with below Jay were on the whole very competent as was the overall supervision from Jay, with whom I met regularly throughout the build. There were unexpected events along the way and negotiations over pricing as with any project but these were managed in a professional manner. They have a big team at their disposal and were able to turn their hand to additional work I requested with little lead time. The finish is to a high standard and the team will return after the summer for any remedial snagging or cracking. Overall very good!

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
