Loft conversion company - any recommendations or warnings?

We really need some advice please from people who have been through the loft conversion process as we are struggling to find a company we can afford to start the work.


Has anyone used Taylored Lofts for their loft conversion and if so what was your experience?


Any other loft companies you would recommend using or avoiding?


Thank you!

We used Taylored Lofts last year and I thought they were great. Job was on time and on budget (we had our second child coming so we couldn't afford for it to over-run).


We had a few issues that became apparent afterwards but they came back and sorted them out no problem and our new bedroom and bathroom are now the nicest rooms in the house.


If I had another loft that needed converting, I would use them again.


We also had quotes from Loft Life, Landmark Lofts, Armadillo Lofts, Absolute Lofts, and another couple that I can't remember the name of, when I looked for reviews there were quite a few negative ones for the rest but I couldn't find a single bad one for Taylored, plus I found someone who had used them before and was willing to answer my questions about them which sealed the deal for me.


Good luck, it's a minefield!

Ive just had my loft conversion built by Benchmark Lofts (020 7438 2043) after getting a couple of great referrals from 2 close friends of mine who recently had their lofts converted in Earlsfield last year. Thomas is the guy who runs the company, he is very helpful and straight foward to deal with. Their prices were competitive and the onsite team were very clean, polite and completed our loft 2 weeks earlier than expected! Thomas took care of the drawings and planning permissions from the deposit we transferred once we signed contracts. Im really happy with the finish and would highly recommend getting in touch with them.
My neighbour recently had their loft converted by Landmark Lofts, I had a look around as I'm thinking of getting mine done too. It looked pretty good and they seemed very happy with the end result. I'm still going to look at a couple of other companies for comparison but based on my neighbour's experience & the end result I'm swinging towards Landmark.

We had our loft done by Classic last October and we were very happy with them, they finished ahead of time and were very good about sorting out the snagging. We also had a small issue which needed resolving this year (long after we'd paid the final balnace) which they came and fixed without me having to hassle them.

Friends of ours have had a bad experince with Landmark so I would avoid them.

  • 4 weeks later...

Update - We've decided to go with Landmark for our conversion after all. They're not the cheapest but I'm of a mind to pay a little extra to get what we want.


Will keep you updated on how it turns out - fingers crossed (not looking forward to the dust!)

    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.  
    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
