Central London Lofts

Central London Loft' was not the first contractor that I contacted for my loft issue, but they were the first to promptly organize a time to scope the matter. My plan was to call several contractors, collect quotes and pick from the lowest and best price match. But Central London Loft' made it easy enough, and I trusted their assessment enough that I ended up going with them without much additional due diligence.
They have done the job superbly. Me and my family is happy and thank them for wonderful work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants best quote and professional services.

With the impending birth of our second child, we decided to bite the bullet and get a loft conversion done to make our 2 bedroom into a 3 bedroom with en-suite. Our next door neighbour had not long had their loft done and the builder they used was awful and made their and our life hellish for about 6 months! So it was with a lot of trepidation that we decided to go ahead but thought it better happening with one rather than two young children.

Anyway, I had originally spoken to David from Central London Lofts for a quote at the time that our neighbours were considering their conversion. We were considering having ours done at the same time by the same builder and I wanted to check their pricing as it seemed to be ridiculously expensive (turns out it was). David was super professional, gave a really reasonable but realistic price and filled me with confidence in Central London Lofts. Although we didn't go ahead right then, the conversation made me decide not to go with the neighbour's builder and hold out to go ahead with Central London Lofts the following year, when we were in a better position financially. He also provided completely impartial advice when I asked him about some suspicious (turns out illegal) changes that the neighbour's builder was suggesting. I contacted David again mid January 2015 to say that we would like to go ahead with them with an end April deadline (baby due) and he immediately set the wheels in motion. End February, our scaffolding went up with the builders starting the following week and all complete within 6 weeks including Easter!!

The consultation ahead of the work was great with the wonderful project manager Barry. Barry is always available, a really nice and funny guy to deal with and very flexible to your needs. He also had some great suggestions when we came up against challenges and never got annoyed with all our (sometimes) stupid questions. Although we didn't have a day by day project plan, he let us know what to expect next, took photos and called us or sent regular updates. He also made the admin side completely pain free so we didn't have to deal with anything, like building control.

I was completely gobsmacked my the progress the team made, particularly in the first 3 weeks. I wasn't expecting to see much progress for a while but everyday I would come home from work and see something major had happened. The team of builders work so hard, arriving early and leaving late, and their work quality was really great. They were clearly very experienced and cleared up as best they could before leaving for the day. All the other specialist teams were also lovely and professional. It made such a change to have brilliant builders to deal with compared to our previous experiences. The office staff were also efficient and polite managing the payments side.

All in all, Central London Lofts were a pleasure to deal with. The experience of our first major house renovation was far less worse than I expected. The build quality and communication was great and I will be getting them back in to price up our kitchen renovation in the next couple of months. Everyone else I know has had a nightmare with loft companies so I would absolutely recommend these guys and have already got friends and neighbours convinced for their future loft needs. Thanks so much all.

We are now 90% of the way through our loft conversion. The build team (Remus, Thomas, Luca and Lucas dad!) have been professional, extremely courteous and polite and work incredibly hard. The shell of our loft was completed in approximately 3 weeks, with the insulation, windows, flooring, first fix and plastering completed in the following 5 weeks. I expect the final 10% to be completed in a similar manner until handover. The project manager (Giedrius) was very helpful throughout especially with variations to the contract and answering questions.

The build team were very considerate of how the worked around our family (3 under 5 in the house) making sure the construction works/tools did not harm them. In fact the kids will miss the build team as they had a lot of "banter" with them.

If anything could be worked on by the company, it would be having more regular communication between the signing of the contact and start on site.

As a professional engineer in my day job i would highly recommend them for the quality of work and price, and I would definitely use them again.

I have paid the deposit for e work to be carried out . Was given a date 18/04/2016 , when the day came nobody arrived . I had taken the day off work. Called central lofts and was told they got the dates wrong . Was given 18/05/2016 for the work to start . On the 15/05/2016 the scaffolding person came unannounced to have a look at the house , when asked-him when would he start his comments were when Central lofts give him the go ahead . Took another day off and no one arrived or called to say what was happening . It has been a nightmare to get hold of someone to get an answer . Huw Davies who I have been in contact at all times and who took the initial deposit has no answers . Barry who came to view and give us a date and took another deposit for the work to start keeps blaming the Scaffolding Company . Called the Wandsworth branch and nobody is available to help or answer my queries . Perhaps this will wake up somebody in the office .and help me resolve this situation .

Mr. Gee and his team Aaron &Darius started the work on the loft conversion . They worked unbelievably hard , early start in the morning late evening finish . We never felt that they were working on the conversion. When we asked for any alterations they gladly agreed . I would gladly recommend them to my friends and family . The loft conversion is in the last stages of completion and have full faith in their ability to bring it to a happy conclusion . Looking back we are glad we selected Central London Lofts to do our loft conversion . They are builders of good ethics and very helpful in all aspect of the project .

We are in the 8th week of our life conversion. I don't think I have had the amazing experience. The builders only turn up 2 to 3 times a week since the beginning. The project manager does not even know if or when they are on site. The house is freezing but they are in no rush to make the house air tight. The project manager shows no concerns for this. I have to constantly chase him for updates before he provides any. I have 2 kids and we have no sky signal since the beginning of the build because they had to take it down. That is 7 weeks without TV. I guess I thought i was paying for a better experience and a much better service but I definitely have not received it. I can't wait for the work to be done. so that we can have our lives back. The builders don't clean up after them selves. I have to clean the house after they install the stairs. I have so much to say. All in all not a great experience.

It's week 13 this week. The loft is still not ready. The radiators are still not in. No doors the house is extremely cold. This company just doesn't care. I'm not priority. The project manager told me it only takes 5 minutes to put in a radiator. The time it takes is not what is important but the installation of the radiators.

I have been on their books since 2015. I can't believe they are putting my family through this .I have been forced to move carpet installation by 3 weeks already.

Week 14. We didn't have heating in half of the house all weekend. Called several times. The Plumber did not turn up to fix the problem due to something they did in the loft. It's 0 degrees outside. Everyone in the house is poorly because of this. Literally this company just don't care.

For what I'm paying for this is by far the worst experience ever. I can see that quite a few people have had great services from this company. That is really good for them. I'm so sad I had to take my family through this awful experience. By choosing central London Loft.

We were very happy with Central London Lofts and are pleased with the additional space we now have in the house.

The builders and tradesmen (plumber, electrician, carpenter) were all great - high quality work and finish. For example, the carpenter made the stairway on site and a superb finish.

Any issues or problems were dealt with quickly and without fuss by builders and Project Manager.

I would be happy to recommend the company to others.

Highly recommended for loft conversion

We are very happy with quality of the work as were done in a professionally way. My loft was completed nicely and smoothly within schedule. Michael and his team are very experienced and professional personal. I am satisfied with work and after work completed I am confident to recommend Central London Lofts for your loft conversion

I had been looking for a loft company for over six months. When central London Loft came to inspect my house for a loft conversation, I was very impressed and confident with the company. They were brilliant from the start to the end.
All the builders were very friendly and went out their way to meet all our requirements.
I would deafly recommend central London loft to everyone I believe Center London Lofts are honest, friendly and professional.
