A Loft Conversion — in a Pandemic?! Here is What to Expect…

Building works can be intrusive and unbalance your home at the best of the time — let alone in the middle of a pandemic! So, we understand why people might be a little apprehensive about starting a new project now.

But there is no need to hold off on your plans for a loft conversion! At The Loft Room, we are still working hard and building above the rest to help our clients bring their dream homes to life.

We are committed to offering an outstanding workmanship and seamless loft conversion process as we always have — albeit with a few small tweaks to ensure our clients’ and our team’s safety.

So, what can you expect?

Initial enquiry

Customer relationships are a high priority for us. We want to understand any concerns you may have and work together to ensure your project goes as smoothly as possible.

To kickstart your new loft project, simply contact the office to book an appointment with Paul or Rich (our directors). Usually, we prefer to meet all our clients in person. However, for the time being, we are trying to do as much as we can virtually. If this is not possible, we will meet you outside your property. Paul and Rich will always keep a safe distance and be wearing face masks for appointments, and we ask that you please do the same.

Once we have established exactly what your plans are for your attic conversion, we will send you a free quotation. We will then check in a few days later to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have. If you decide to go ahead, we can then get started with the real fun!

Design

When it comes to design, we are completely flexible. If you already have plans in place, that is fine — we would be more than happy to use these. But if you need a little help ironing out your ideas, you can also count on us!

Our architects and structural engineers will work closely with you to achieve the best possible design for your attic conversion — whether you are looking to create a cosy, private office or a spacious master bedroom complete with stunning aluminium bi-fold doors leading onto a frameless glass balcony. Again, we will try to do all of this virtually where possible.

Build

Once we have all the relevant permissions in place, you will be assigned your own site manager — then, it is time to get building! We always carry out all builds from the outside-in anyway, working from scaffolds to guarantee minimal interruption to your home life. This means you will never have builders traipsing through your home and ensures we can eliminate any contact. Our team will also be sanitising regularly, wearing face masks and doing their utmost to remain socially distanced from you and your family at all times.

Usually, we would pop little notes through your neighbours’ letterboxes to warn them that there will be building works going on. However, to minimise the risk of spreading the virus, we will not be doing this at the moment.

Rich and Paul also like to visit all our sites regularly to make sure the project meets our high standards and that the site is being kept safe and tidy. Although popping in for a cup of tea is currently out of the question, they will still be making frequent site visits to check everything is in order.

Completion

At the end of the project, we will compile a snagging list for you and check nothing has been missed before your free decoration service commences. Once completed, we will then remove the scaffolding. And voila — you will have a brand-new, beautiful space to enjoy!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eddie, our main contractor, and his labourer Damian were an absolute joy to have on-site. Their professionalism, manners, and attention to detail were exceptional. Eddie’s workmanship is top-tier, and the speed and efficiency with which he executed the project were incredibly impressive. We absolutely love our new loft space, and the sheer quality of the construction delivered by Eddie and his brilliant on-site team completely earned this top rating.
If we were judging solely on The Loft Room side, this would have been closer to a 4-star review. Communication with the head office was sometimes a little haphazard, and there were some unexpected plumbing extras from early bathroom decisions that could have been made clearer by sharing an indicative plumbing "extras" cost upfront. We also received some inaccurate guidance from The Loft Room on paint quantities for the new bedroom and en-suite, which left us with far too much paint that couldn't be returned and the "free" decoration incentive was disappointing due to a poor finish and surly decorators.
Ultimately, though, a build is only as good as the person executing it. Eddie’s fantastic management, swift pace, and flawless execution completely outshone other frustrations. We couldn't be happier with the final result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dragos and his team did a great job for us. They provided a complete end to end service from design, architecture and planning permission, full loft construction and decorating.
Early on in the project, with the support of Dragos, we decided to make a fundamental change to the design. They took this in their stride with no material change to the cost.
The team were considerate, skilled, polite and reliable throughout the project.
I would thoroughly recommend The Loft Room to anyone considering a loft extension or major alteration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment we spoke to Maggie, we felt The Loft Room was the right company for us. The whole admin team (Maggie, Melissa, Helen and Ciara) are warm and friendly, and super efficient.

Dave and Ashley (and Charlie) have done a fantastic job converting our loft. We have wholeheartedly trusted Dave’s expertise with him having completed 42 lofts previously. We are absolutely delighted with the results so far.  The tradespeople that have been over have been excellent: Mark and Kasper - the roofers, Stuart - electrician, Justin - plasterer, Dave - painter etc.

We did get some lower quotes from other companies, but we think there’s a strong case of ‘you get what you pay for’ with The Loft Room. The whole process was surprisingly smooth and unobtrusive - we just hadn’t expected that from a loft conversion. We would definitely recommend The Loft Company.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with the finished loft conversion! The team was very friendly, professional, and respectful of our home throughout the project. While it took a little longer than initially expected, we put it down to the extreme heat of the summer we just had. The quality of the final build makes it well worth it—would recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a rear dormer completed by The Loft Room, which also involved lowering the ceilings throughout the first floor.

The efficiency and quality of the work carried out are the main reasons we’ve given five stars. We felt the administrative and communications side of the process could have been better, but ultimately the most important thing for us was the quality of the build, and in that respect we were extremely happy.

The team on site were excellent and always treated the house as our home rather than simply a building site. They were respectful, tidy and a pleasure to have around throughout the project.

Dragos has been a joy to work with and brought a huge amount of calm, experience and knowledge to the project. Lulian, on site, was the ultimate professional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the quality of his workmanship was excellent.

Overall, we’re really pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Loft Room based on the quality of the work and the team we had on site.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so happy with our new loft space and have been really impressed with The Loft Room from start to finish.

Communication throughout the project has been excellent. Marius and his team worked incredibly hard to meet deadlines while taking great care and pride in their work. Helen in the office, along with Marius, were always on hand to keep us updated on progress and talk us through the different choices and options available.

It was also really helpful having a clear contract in place detailing exactly what was included in the agreed costs. This made budgeting much easier and meant there were no unexpected or surprise costs along the way.

We can’t wait for the final touches to be completed so we can start enjoying our family’s new space. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work — we’re really happy with the result!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The loft room team were great. John was very respectful, and kept us informed on progress. Going the extra mile to make our new space amazing. They really managed to maximise the floor space to create a great sized master bed and en-suite.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently had a dormer loft conversion completed by Ash and Alfie of The Loftroom.

From design all the way through to finishing the construction the team have been great. Quality of the work is outstanding, kept informed and updated all throughout the build, and always consulted about the specifics.

Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are delighted with our new loft conversion by The Loft Room. The whole process went incredibly smoothly, from the planning stage all the way through to decorating.

A huge thank you to Vio, who led the team on our project. Vio and the team’s hard work and dedication has transformed our house. Vio kept everything running on track, maintained a high standard of work, and was always a pleasure to deal with. He and his team treated our home with respect and made sure the details were done right. And also, a special mention to all in the office whose excellent communication kept us in the loop throughout.

We would heartily recommend The Loft Room to anyone looking to do a loft conversion. Thanks guys!
