CS Loft did our loft conversion and they were fantastic. Ben and Benni managed the project and were very proficient. Even through it was a big loft with 1 5 meter dormer, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, dressing room and big landing space, still they were able to complete the whole project in 2.5 months and while we were still living in the property. The cost at the end was exactly the same as initial quote + optional extras that we opted. These guys are the benchmark for good builders!!

Customer's Journey
Initial Consultation and Planning
Shivam’s quest to expand his living space began when he identified the need for additional rooms in his Orpington home to accommodate his growing family. After researching various companies, Shivam opted for CS Lofts based on their robust portfolio and strong recommendations. The project entailed a large side dormer loft conversion, which was ambitious given the planned inclusions of two bedrooms, a bathroom, a dressing room, and a substantial landing area.
CS Lofts conducted an in-person consultation at Shivam’s property, which laid the foundation for a well-structured project. During this initial meeting, they discussed Shivam’s specific needs and the technicalities of the conversion. CS Lofts then provided a detailed written quote, which included a comprehensive breakdown of costs, ensuring transparency from the outset. The survey and bespoke drawings followed, along with structural calculations to ensure that all planned works were feasible and compliant with local building regulations.
Project Execution
The construction phase was scheduled to last approximately 11 weeks. Despite the scale of the conversion and the complexity involved in constructing a 15-meter dormer, the project was managed with exceptional proficiency by Ben and Benni from CS Lofts. Their effective project management and organisational skills were key in maintaining momentum, even while Shivam and his family continued to reside in the property.
