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!)

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
