UK Loft Conversions -

Matt and his team built the most spectacular loft conversion in our Victorian semi-detached house. Matt's vision was to create an open and dynamic space with maximum light and usable space whilst respecting the period nature of the property. Being a skilled carpenter himself, he appreciates quality workmanship and prides himself on having contractors that deliver to his own high standards (having used them on his own house!). The overall product exceeded our expectations in scale and quality. Matt himself is such a great guy and a pleasure to work with, and his colleague, Aaron, too.The subcontractors, particularly the plasterer, the tiler, the decorators and the carpet fitter, were all so impressive and we have since used the decorators and carpeter for other projects in the house. 2 years later, everything still looks perfect and now the property is on the market, the estate agent wrote this in the property listing: "This is one of the best roof conversions we have seen and very much enhances the house". Suffice to say we would highly recommend UK Loft Conversions and hope to have the pleasure of their service on future projects!

We had Uk Loft Conversions build a hip to gable loft conversion on our 1930s semi in West London.

Matt, Aaron and the rest of the team were fantastic from beginning to end.

Matt was not only the builder but also the project manager. His knowledge was invaluable as to what was achievable with the space available and enabled us to develop the original plans into something that really worked for us both space and design wise.

What was once a dusty storage place at the top of the house is now a double bedroom with walk in wardrobe (which Matt designed and did the joinery for) and ensuite.

Everyone Matt brought on the project (roofers, plumbers, electricians etc) were professional, courteous, hard working and did an excellent job.

The professionalism and speed at which they competed the work drew comments from our neighbours who said they were very impressed the quality of the building work and the time scale in which they had completed it.

I would definitely recommend UK Loft Conversions to anyone thinking of having a similar project done.

We had UK loft conversions replace 3 old velux windows in an existing loft with 3 sash dormer windows in October 2020. Matt and his team were a pleasure to work with, very clean and tidy, punctual, polite, easy to talk to. Matt was proactive at coming up with ideas if he thought something might work better or look better. He is very precise and efficient and planned deliveries etc perfectly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They have transformed our loft room and we love it!

What an incredible team. Couldn't have been happier with Matt and all the people involved with our loft extension. Every step of the build was done with such care and was completed within the timescale proposed. Would 100% recommend 👌🏽

We had an excellent experience working with Matt and his team. We already had visited one of their projects and the client couldn’t recommend them enough. We went ahead after a few meetings with Matt and never had a negative experience to doubt our decision. Our loft conversion is a fantastic addition to our property now and everyone admires UK Loft Conversion’s work. Very attentive and collaborative working with Matt, Aaron and others like Luke. Highly recommended with quality and team…

Outstanding building work carried out by Matt, Luke and Reuben.

Thanks to this remarkable firm of builders I now have a beautiful quirky loft conversion that other local companies were loathe to quote for realising it would be a tricky job. These highly skilled guys jumped at the challenge and produced something I thought I could only dream of. They kept me in the loop at every stage and sent me regular videos of the progress of the conversion from the top of the scaffolding. Every morning they arrived on time, worked non-stop and every evening they hoovered up. The staircase proved difficult to install due to the age of the house but even this didn’t phase them. Matt puts vision into practice at every turn.

Today the building works were completed and Matt, Luke and Reuben left for their next job. Peace and quiet resumed and, as I climbed my new staircase and looked around in pure wonderment at my bright new en-suite bedroom in the sky, I was lost for words. The whole thing is stunning and proof of the sheer skill of these guys. They were a joy to make tea for and even though I’ll miss them I know their next clients will be as thrilled with their conversion as I am with mine.

Where to start with how impressed I was with UK Loft Conversions.
Background
My wife and I had been planning this for a while, as we needed to convert our 3 bed semi to a 4 bed and we were understandably nervous about the process. We had a fixed budget with little room for manoeuvre. We wanted to add two bedrooms and a shower room. The owner of UK Loft Conversions, Matt, was recommended to us by one of our neighbours and having received a very reasonable quote and secured the remortgage to release funds, we agreed a start date of 4th January 2022.
UK Lofts provided a turnkey solution. The drawings to secure a certificate of lawful development, the skips, plumbing and installation of the shower/toilet facilities, the plastering, the installation of 10sqm of tiling in the shower room, the provision and fitting of fire doors, smoke alarms and the velux windows were all included in the cost, meaning we only had to source the bathroom fittings, and cover the painting and carpeting in addition to the quote.
Having privately organised the party wall agreement, it was with some trepidation, that we looked forward to getting started.
The Build
On 4th January as scheduled, the scaffolding was erected and I was amazed at the speed with which the infrastructure was put together. What really set UK Lofts apart for me was the attention to organisational detail of Matt, who was not just the owner, but also the project manager. He brought in the plumber, roofers, electricians, plasterers, building and fire safety inspectors at exactly the time they were required. Deliveries of the many and various components were also arranged to be timely and the team worked hard to avoid inconvenience to our neighbours (another initial concern). We were also able to call upon his plumber/gas engineer to install a new boiler (barring this conversion, the best money I have ever spent), so many thanks to Connor.
We had a waterproof dormer within 2 weeks of the work commencing, which was astounding. They broke through from the loft into the designated bedroom for the stairs on 25th January. Matt arranged for multiple internal works to be done so there was no day we did not have elements of the build being worked on. Furthermore, Matt and Aaron were in for full days until we had a fully insulated, watertight conversion, with all internal walls and stair fitting. When there were practical challenges, Matt went out of his way to suggest creative solutions that did not add to the budget for the build (e.g. smaller shower enclosure rather than wet room).
The scaffolding was removed on 4th February – exactly one month to the day since work commenced. At that point, only painting and carpeting remained to be done. Thanks to Matt’s contacts, we secured Moore’s painting, a firm in Camberley, who did an excellent job, priming and painting, walls, ceiling, doors, gloss work on both floors. We used Aldershot Carpet Services for the floor coverings and as of 22nd February we were able to move my son into his new room and began furnishing the guest room.
Summary
My wife and I both found UK Lofts to be exceptional, in terms of the quality of the build, their professionalism and responsiveness. Matt was always contactable and all of his team of people were friendly, hard-working, conscientious and put my mind at ease throughout the entire process. On a personal note, my wife was initially apprehensive about having builders in the house, but has actually said she misses Matt and Aaron; their positivity and the fact thy were all round “good guys”, friendly and approachable. There were no surprise costs; everything came in on budget and on time. This is the very definition of a quality service and I am confident this is down, in no small part, to the impressive organisational and people/project management skills of Matt, the owner. I cannot recommend them enough and if I had known how painless this home improvement could be, I would have done it years ago.

UK Loft Conversions are a great company to undertake your development. Matt and Arron did an amazing job on our loft conversion. Very professional and highly skilled at what they do. All elements of the build were looked after by Arron, who was always on site, ready to answer any questions we had. He never left us in any doubt that the finish was going to be exactly what we wanted. It's made such a difference to our house.
Matt was very accommodating for us too, fitting in our development in time for the arrival of our little boy.
