Unlock Your Home’s Potential: Understanding Planning Permission for Loft Conversions

Welcome to CS Lofts, the specialists in transforming your unused loft space into a vibrant, functional part of your home. As experts in loft conversions, we understand that navigating the planning permission process can seem daunting. That’s why we’ve crafted this comprehensive guide to help you understand the rules and processes involved, ensuring a smooth journey from concept to completion.

What is Planning Permission?

Planning permission is a formal approval from your local council required for certain types of building work. It ensures that any changes or developments you make are in line with local regulations and contribute positively to the area. When it comes to loft conversions, understanding planning permission is crucial to avoid any legal hurdles that could delay or complicate your project.

Loft Conversions and Permitted Development

Many loft conversions can be carried out under what’s known as ‘permitted development rights.’ This means that as long as your project adheres to specific criteria, you won’t need to apply for full planning permission. Permitted development is a streamlined process, saving you time and effort while still ensuring your loft conversion meets necessary standards.

Key Criteria for Permitted Development

To qualify for permitted development, your loft conversion must meet the following criteria:

Volume and Size: The additional space created must not exceed 40 cubic metres for terraced houses or 50 cubic metres for detached and semi-detached houses. This includes any previous additions to the roof space.
Height: No part of the loft conversion can be higher than the highest part of the existing roof.
Materials: The materials used should be similar in appearance to the existing house.
Windows and Balconies: Any side-facing windows must be obscure-glazed, and no balconies or verandas are allowed under permitted development rights.
Protected Areas: Properties in designated areas such as conservation areas or national parks may have restrictions that prevent them from being eligible for permitted development.

For more detailed information on permitted development rules, please visit our dedicated page: Permitted Development Explained.

Applying for Planning Permission

If your loft conversion doesn’t meet the criteria for permitted development, you’ll need to apply for planning permission. This involves submitting detailed plans and documents to your local planning authority, who will assess your application based on factors such as the impact on neighbouring properties, the design, and adherence to local planning policies.

The process typically includes:

1. Submitting the Application: You’ll need to submit your application, including detailed plans and any necessary supporting documents. Your local planning authority’s website will have specific requirements and guidance on how to do this.

2. Consultation and Decision: Once submitted, your application will undergo a consultation period where neighbours and other stakeholders can provide feedback. The planning authority will then make a decision, which can take up to eight weeks.

We recently had our loft completed in our Victorian terrace by CS lofts and really couldn't recommend them more. The quality of the finish is excellent but, equally as important, their communication skills, the way the project is managed and their professionalism was second to none. They finished in record time - well ahead of schedule. We will be recommending them to all our friends and colleagues as really have had a fantastic experience. Thank you Richard, Luke (all of the Lukes on the team!) and the rest of the team at CS lofts. You truly run a construction business the way it should be done!

We recently did our loft conversion with CS Lofts and we are delighted with the quality of the work. Richard, Luke and his team have been brilliant to work with and we would recommend them to anyone who is looking to expand their home for extra upstairs space. Builders, Jack, Dave, Brian, the electricians & plumbers were responsive to our questions, considerate of our need for some flexibility and consistent in making sure that every task, big or small, was completed to the right standards. Thank you CS Lofts team.

Their professionalism and attention to detail were impressive, and they made the entire process stress-free. The quality of the work is excellent, and they finished the project ahead of schedule. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled builder!Thanks you very much Richard, Luke, Sam and all the team I couldn’t mention.

CS loft completed a 2 bedroom and shower room loft conversion for us this summer.Richard and team demonstrated great work ethics. The communication was good. They were approachable and responsive. They supported us with our neighbours when there was a snag with the shared roof.Special thanks to Spencer who worked really hard to maximise our space and gave advice for layout. Richard, Sam and the rest of the team were brilliant and all clearly great at what they do, problem solving any issues they encounter.All snags are dealt with promptly and without fuss.We were not completely happy with their contracted plumber who worked on our project due to poor attention to detail. Their recommended tiler was also very expensive so we went elsewhere.We definitely 100% recommend CS loft.They have created an amazing unused loft space into a great space for our children and all completed on time and budget.Thank you again.

We had a fantastic experience with CS loft while they built a mezzanine for us. From start to finish, their team was professional, skilled, and incredibly easy to work with. The project was completed on time, and they maintained a tidy workspace throughout, which we really appreciated. Communication was smooth, and they kept us informed every step of the way. The finished mezzanine looks amazing. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend them for any construction work!

We're super happy with our garage conversion done by the guys at CS Lofts. They came in with a competitive quote at the start. Maintained a good level of communication and openness throughout the project. And made the snagging feel hassle free. TBH the look of the project goes beyond our expectation. We highly recommend Rich and his team!

Michelle Bryant

We contracted CS Loft for a 2 bedroom & 1 bathroom loft. Rich was over for an initial meeting where he helped by talking with our neighbours, and the works started soon after. We can safely say that Luke, Luke and all the builders were extremely professional and worked very hard to a very high standard. We didn’t move out during the works, and all the builders were extremely loyal, very hardworking and very polite throughout the weeks they were here every day! We are very pleased with our new loft and would not hesitate to recommend them.

After getting various quotes, we are so glad we used CS Lofts for the design and build of our loft. Right from the onset where Richard came to have a look and give a quote to the end, the service was efficient and professional.As this was our first home improvement project we were quite nervous and Richard put our minds at ease with answering the many questions and arranging two viewings at recently completed jobs.At every stage of the project there was clear communication, advise and guidance.All the tradesmen who came for the work were extremely friendly, polite and left the space very clean.We had a baby in the middle of the project and CS were extremely accommodating to stop the work for a while and then restart when we were settled in.Sam also visited regularly to check everything was progressing to plan and help guide any decisions we needed to make which was appreciated.Richard, Sam and the entire team were patient with our questions, adaptive to our needs and overall the work was good value for money.I would not hesitate to recommend CS Lofts, you will be in great hands!

CS Lofts completed the loft renovation on schedule and accommodated remodelling changes where and when requested. Communication was great and very responsive through the WhatsApp group. All of the tradesmen were very professional and reflected the efficient scheduling of work.

Olivia Platman

17:08 05 Jun 24

We were really happy with CS lofts and our loft conversion. They did the bulk of the job really quickly and everyone on the team was very friendly and professional. We could have done with a schedule to help with organising access, but communication as we went along was responsive.

Chloe Chambers

07:03 03 Jun 24

My overall experience with CS Lofts was great from start to finish. They were very competitive on the quote and stuck to the time frame they gave. The team were very polite, tidy and nothing was too much. They all worked extremely hard and I was very pleased with the end product. I would definitely use them again and recommend this company for anyone thinking about getting a loft.

I chose CS Lofts for my build, having read consistently positive reviews, and I made the right decision.The process was seamless and within the agreed time frame and quote. The entire team and contractors were professional and amenable throughout, and from the start, communication with Richard, Sam and Luke was excellent, and any queries or concerns were dealt with promptly and with consideration.Thanks to all involved, I now have a wonderful room with en suite which enhances my home, and I thoroughly recommend CS Lofts for their expertise in this field.

We recently had our loft converted by CS Lofts, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. Alex and Luke's teams were incredibly skilled, courteous, and efficient. They listened to our ideas and provided excellent suggestions, ensuring that every detail was perfect. They were the only loft company that were positive about converting the space into two rooms and a shower room and not just one big bedroom.The quality of the workmanship is outstanding. Our new loft space is not only beautiful but also highly functional. They kept the site clean and organized throughout the project, and the disruption to our daily lives was minimal. The project was completed on time and within budget, which was a huge relief. The team had to return a few times for some snags but they were always positive and willing to amend any snag however small.A big thank you to CS Lofts for transforming our home and exceeding our expectations. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a loft conversion or any other building project. Fantastic job!

I am very glad we found CS lofts. They arrived on time every day, the team were so helpful and came up with some creative ides along the way. The communication was excellent and we were kept fully informed of progress and what trades where arriving when.The team were tidy and also thoughtful when it came to our young children (keeping stairways safe etc).Their price was competitive and finished at exactly the cost they quoted. Finally and most importantly we love our new loft space, every finish was 5 star standard and we would recommend them without hesitation.

We wanted to extend the house with a loft extension being the most sensible way of doing it without breaking the bank. With it still being a significant outlay and with your house generally being your most valuable asset, you want someone to do this work who you can trust, is very good at what they do, timely and fair priced. Having no building contacts I turned to CheckaTrade looking for builders, and I think with only one exception I did not even receive a reply, and the one that did arrange to come round never showed up! Therefore I Googled “Loft Extensions” and up came “CS Lofts” so I e-mailed them. As a welcome change from previous companies contacted, CS Lofts replied and arranged to come round, and they arrived exactly when they said they would. This set the tone for the relationship going forward. CS Lofts take care of everything, the drawings, the planning application with the council, all the different trades that work onsite etc. Each job has a project manager, Benni in our case who coordinated everything. They gave us an estimate of how long it would take and they were well within this at completion. With any project there will always be something that comes up that was unforeseen, and in those very few instances everything got sorted out in a very fair and quick way.I always feel if writing a review there should be something to comment on as a point for improvement, but in this case I just can’t think of anything. The loft extension is now finished and the end result is absolutely fantastic. Benni as the project Manager was awesome, Andy, Joe, Sam, John, the plumber, roofers (sorry forgot your names) all made a reliable team of really friendly, professional, people.So if anyone asks, my advice to them would be without a shadow of a doubt use CS Lofts, to the point of, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else.Mark Fletcher

We were very satisfied with the end result. In spite of bad weather conditions (snow and incessant rain) that created frustrating delays, the guys always maintained a friendly, good natured and flexible approach. They communicated well and tried their best to work around my work appointments at home. The new roof, upgrading of the original dormer that now matches the new dormer has given our home a smart up-dated look, and we are loving our big bathroom. We were also very happy with the quote which was adhered to. We would definitely recommend CS Lofts.

17:25 05 Apr 24

We were extremely impressed by the professionalism of the whole CS Lofts team. From Richard and Sam who met with us at home, to Danny, Luke and Arthur who carried out the Loft build, and of course ever helpful and responsive Louise at the office. They all did absolutely everything they could to make life as simple, clean, and comfortable for us throughout the job. They were enthusiastic, kind, polite and responsive to our queries. The work was delivered to a high standard within the time schedule and to the agreed budget. We absolutely recommend this very honest and professional firm.

CS lofts have completed a hip to gable loft conversion on our property. The end to end experience was fantastic. The first fix team, Luke and Lewis were great, polite. professional and the most friendly guys you could ever meet. Our PM Gil catered to all of our needs and was always on hand to help. It was a pleasure to have them working in our home, thanks to Richard and the CS lofts team.

20:16 18 Mar 24

We were looking for a full-service loft conversion firm and couldn't be happier with the end product from CS Lofts. From the initial quote to completion, the team were honest, professional, considerate, hardworking and flexible. Exactly what was quoted was exactly what was paid - no surprises. They were clear and timely communicating to us and guided us with really good ideas from their experience. There's always challenges in every build but tbh, the build process was smooth overall and we are extremely happy with the loft. I would highly recommend CS Lofts if you are considering a loft conversion.

Bobsta Yauza

21:36 14 Mar 24

I decided to go with CS Lofts having seen that they did a house a few streets away from us. Having spoken to other loft specialists, we got a good feeling about them and went with them. Richard was very approachable and easy to speak to. Luke and Jack were the main builders...and I would like to say we're very professional and accommodating to several variations in the plan, even minor alterations after build. Very solid work and timely. The work was held up due to some Very bad rain weather. but I deem them to have held up their side of the bargain in terms of the agreed time frame.

John Boye

20:48 14 Mar 24

We carried out an indepth research before finally settling on hiring CS Lofts for our loft conversion work; and we did not regret it. I can go on forever about their professionalism and courtesy. The build was solid and beautiful. We will recommend them to anyone who wants an exceptionally good loft conversion done no matter the size.Remember the name - CS LOFT.They are exceptional!

Lauren Butler

20:17 07 Mar 24

Our loft conversion has finished recently and we would recommend CS Lofts. The team were trustworthy and extremely efficient and left a good job. We had some hiccups along the way but were able to communicate well and there were no issues in getting things sorted. The quote was explained well with no hidden costs and some costs were deducted for things that we chose to order or do ourselves, and again no issues.

Lynsey Gawn

19:00 06 Mar 24

We have done a lot of building projects in our time, and can honestly say that loft life have been head and shoulders above any other building team we've ever used. They were exceptional. Very responsive to messages, keen to fix any issues that arose in a very timely manner, and thoroughly professional. Every tradesperson that came in to assist was excellent without exception. They were all friendly, hard working, and clearly took pride in their work. The job was completed with speed, and the whole proces was stress and hassle free. We couldn't be happier with our loft!

Robert Harty

13:49 02 Mar 24

Richard and his team were very easy to deal with. The loft build was on time and on budget, and they kept the place tidy throughout - couldn't have asked for much more. They guys were extremely pleasant and considerate as we had a new born in the house during the build.In terms of after care, 1 year post the build we had an issue with some guttering due to bad weather and they came around and fixed it as part of their guarantee - all very seamless. Would definitely recommend

14:26 27 Feb 24

We are really glad we chose CS Lofts for our loft conversion. They are a company of genuine people who want to do the best job they can for their clients. They listened to our needs and ideas and were flexible and patient. They guided us through each stage of the design and build and their pricing was clear and good value. Alex and Darryl, who built the main structure, were friendly, punctual and tidy. The subcontractors were also generally good. When there was a problem, Richard and Sam listened to our concerns and were reassuring. They have very high standards for the trades they collaborate with. We now have an extra bedroom, ensuite and office which we are very pleased with. We would recommend CS Lofts to anyone else looking to do a loft conversion.

CS lofts -Ben, Benni, Ibi and Luke were brilliant. Polite, courteous and wonderful with our 4yr old. I was nervous of the glowing reviews here thinking - can this be true? So I booked an independent surveyor (Via build zone - which I wouldnt recommend as turned out to be unnecessary!). CS were absolutely fine about the 4 visits from the surveyor - which showed no issues at all. Trades highly skilled and friendly too. So, CS - great team, work done on time, competitive price, no hidden extras and everything done with real integrity.

Michele Small

CS Lofts recently built my loft conversion. Richard & Sam managed the project exceptionally well. I could not have asked for a smoother experience. The company is professional but also very approachable and took all my considerations into account. All workers were polite and very experienced. They also finished in record time to the highest of standards.I would, without hesitation, highly recommend CS Lofts to anyone thinking of converting their loft.

CS Lofts were one of the most flexible and competitive of all the companies we spoke to, and after seeing some of their work locally decided to go with them. Ricahrd and Sam lay out the process well and Lousie kept all the admin moving smoothly.The build team of Alex and Daryl and all the subcontractors were courteous, informative and really hard working.Where any issues did arrive they were dealt with promptly.The build was super quick (finished within 10 weeks) and a positive experience all round. I would thouroughly recommend CS lofts. Thanks guys.

We are very pleased with our loft extension done by CS Lofts. The process was handled very well with minimal hassle and the quality of the work has been good. When we had questions or items on our checklist that needed doing we got prompt responses and all the work we raised was completed. The finishing touches were good and the team went to a lot of trouble to make sure we were happy with the end result.

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 15 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!!

Hannah Brown

09:28 05 Oct 23

Richard and his team were all amazing, tidy and considerate. He was always available by phone or email if there was ever an issue or query and never let me down. Have recommend to friends and family and will continue to do so x

16:56 18 Sep 23

We chose to go with CS Lofts for our conversion as a number of people on our road had spoken very highly of them. We weren't disappointed. From the start we felt supported as they helped us negotiate some tricky planning obstacles with our local council. Once planning permission was approved things started moving quickly. We were very impressed at the speed of the work and the quality of the workmanship. There was minimal disruption and the crew were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. All the external trades people that CS used were also of a very high standard. Would def recommend.

Michael Jones

10:10 15 Sep 23

CS Lofts have completed our loft conversion recently. They were understanding when we delayed our decision late last year, and were able to accommodate us when we wanted to proceed.The work started quickly and moved very fast. Within 2 weeks the shall was up. The builders worked hard and stayed later to ensure deadlines were met. We cannot fault the work ethic.The plastering, plumping and carpentry were all done efficiently. There was a couple of snags throughout the process, but these were fixed quickly.We did have to move out for a week or so while the stairs were being installed and the resultant mess, but this was a personal choice, with 2 small children it felt easier.Richard and Louise were quick in communicating times etc.Overall, very happy with the service and would recommend and use again.

Robert Williamson

13:31 30 Aug 23

Really impressed by the speed with which CS Lofts worked. Friendly and accommodating workers, particularly impressed by the two guys that carried out the main construction also the plasterers and the roofers, etc. Liked the fact that CS Lofts specialize solely in loft conversions and that their quote is fully inclusive.

Daniel Stock

15:57 24 Aug 23

We had an absolutely first class experience getting our loft built by Richard's team. It moved along smoothly and quickly, partly due to some good luck with timings and weather but we'll take it! Every person that contributed to the job was punctual, polite, hard working, and clearly experts in their field. We are delighted. Thanks to all.

I recently had the pleasure of working with CS Lofts for my loft conversion, and I must say, the experience was fantastic. From the moment we connected for the initial consultation, they showed genuine interest in understanding my ideas and needs for the space. There was excellent communication throughout the entire process, Louise from their office always kept me well updated! We’re really pleased with our loft and would not hesitate to recommend their services!

We heard about CS lofts through our neighbour, they completed a loft conversion and chimney removal for us. The knowledge and expertise they have are unmatched compared to other companies I had previous considered. Even with the unpredictable weather they were able to complete the works within the agreed timeframe and at a great price. My overall experience with CS Lofts was fantastic! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

CS Lofts came recommended by good friends, and we are very happy with the hip to gable loft conversion CS Lofts completed for us. It took place over winter 2022 and the team did a great job to seal the roof and keep the elements at bay during the rain & snow. We were impressed from the first meeting through to completion. Big thanks to Sam, Richard, Luke and Lewis who were very pleasant to have around and went above & beyond throughout. Also to the extended CS crew; Brian & Mark who we kept on to re-do our main bathroom, as well as the loft, and Jon & Chuck, who ended up decorating most of the house. Based on our experience, we would happily recommend CS Lofts.

Clare Garratt

13:54 29 Jan 23

Very happy with CS Lofts, Ben and team were really good, came in at price as quoted with no hidden extras. If we had questions or any changes they were dealt with swiftly.We are really pleased with the end result of a master bedroom and ensuite with walk in wardrobe space and an office. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Kelvin Wong

16:25 28 Jan 23

We are very happy with the hip to gable loft conversation completed by CS Loft. The team were very helpful right from the start to finish and went above and beyond to resolve all problems (e.g. moving the giant shower screen that we bought). Thanks Ben, Benni and team for your hard work!

Andrew Matthews

23:55 09 Jan 23

Have spent many years in the construction industry, so when it was time to get my own loft conversion done I had several "General builders" that I knew that I could call upon .... However they are "General for a reason" and were either prohibitively expensive or did not possess the specialist skills required for my awkward loft. We gave up on the idea untill a chance meeting with Richard and within half an hour he assured us that a conversion was definitely possible, things moved quickly from there and the build started 2 weeks later and took less than 10 weeks at a price that was incredibly reasonable. We have completed the decorating now and are very happy with the results. The main team were great and the supporting trades were all friendly, aminable and tidy with all work to a good standard. Thanks again to Richard Sam and all of the CS team, highly recommended. .........The moral is if you want brain surgery you don't go to a gp ...... if you want a loft , go to a specialist......

Sanjiv Roy

11:15 10 Nov 22

Absolutely delighted with the performance of the CS Lofts team. From sales to execution to post execution support, the team has been fantastic. The ideas, suggestions and design was great, the fixed price quote was reasonable and the workmanship flawless. Benny and his team were courteous and professional. Overall very happy with the work done and would highly recommend CS Lofts for any loft conversion work.

- Overall we had a very positive experience with CS Lofts. We were able to live in with two small children whilst the works were being completed and they were considerate of this, ensuring they tidied up after themselves and ensured the build was left as safe as possible from one day to the next. We had a great working relationship with Harry who was very efficient and easy to communicate with. He coordinated all the work and tradespeople well and ensured we were happy with the end results. The only issues occurred when he was away and he sought to rectify these on his return.

Tom Hunt

20:58 27 Oct 22

Couldn't recommend CS Lofts enough. They handled everything, delivered on time and to a great standard. Snags and changes were handled without any problems. The house was left really tidy every day, and everyone on site was friendly and polite. Really happy with our amazing loft conversion.

BEVERLY BREWER

11:00 03 Aug 22

Harry was great to deal with. Friendly and reliable and turned up on time every day and just got on with the job. He project managed the build which meant I was able to work from home with minimal disruption. CS Lofts were excellent at communicating keeping me informed of every step and very responsive answering any questions I had. Highly recommend.

Harvey Reid

15:35 27 Jul 22

CS loft have been nothing but amazing. From the frost Initial visit to completion. Sam was great explaining the process, what to expect and what we needed. Louise in the admin office was always available and arranged a viewing of a previous job before we signed our contract. The communication throughout was amazing. Out PM Gil was great and he really managed the build well taking into consideration our input and alway on hand. What struck me the most was when there were issues the team took control and rectified everything beyond our expectations. I would recommend CS lofts.

CS stepped in to convert our loft when the firm we had originally contracted with were struggling to commit on costs and timeline. Their team were courteous and professional. All requests were dealt with brilliantly by Sam and Richard, the work was delivered to schedule and without any unforeseen costs. I don't hesitate to recommend!

Amy Goldman

We used CS Lofts for our loft extension (hip to gable roof with dormer) and conversion. From our first interaction (the in person quote) and throughout our project we have been hugely impressed by everyone at CS Lofts. They are a family business and that care, attention and professionalism shines through. You are provided with a fixed quote, a comprehensive quote sheet and contract before going ahead, which is so refreshing to see exactly what will be done, and everyone is clear from the outset.Richard was fantastic as our project manager, a real ‘can-do’ attitude and problem solver going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction at every stage, including the aftercare provided long after the project had finished. Louise was always contactable and so helpful moving our work start date when our house purchase was delayed. Luke and Lewis (our 1st fix team) were so polite and professional - it was a pleasure having them around. Carpenters Luke and Gil (2nd fix) are very skilled and did a fantastic job finishing with great attention to detail, especially fixing complex sliding doors we had chosen. Their recommended tiler, Brian’s work was also impeccable. Too many individuals to name them all. CS Lofts completed the buildings regs approval for us and coordinated all the tradespeople very impressively, especially over the Christmas period.We have no hesitation in highly recommending CS Lofts to anyone looking for a caring, professional and quality company. We’re chuffed!

I found CS Lofts by chance walking past one of their projects. They’ve now been recommended for 5/6 other projects through us and for good reason. Ours was a complicated end of terrace with side and rear dormers due to council conservation area restrictions. They drew up the plans and managed it through council planning which can be a tricky process particularly with a conservation area. Once permission was granted CS Lofts had the scaffolding up and were up and running with a few weeks. The whole process took 12 weeks from start to finish and the whole time they remained collaborative, considerate and on budget. Ours is not the biggest loft in the world but through some clever design we’ve now got an en suite master bedroom with office area in our loft. Great experience all round.

Great loft, exactly what I had wanted. Professional workers, particularly Richard and Sam, who completed the job in a timely manner. The two rooms look exactly how I had wanted it to, and it has a great bathroom in it aswell.

Having your loft converted is a big job and the thought of it is stressful so you want to make sure you have the right people. We found CS Lofts to be very efficient and polite and whilst I was working from home they didn’t bother me at all. They turned up and got on with the project and it was great to see how quickly they progressed with it. We are so pleased with the end result, the stairway being much more spacious than we had imagined and we now have 2 good sized bedrooms for our girls to have their own space and grow up in. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you Richard, Sam and the team 😊

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CS lofts. I was recommended by my neighbour and I think 4 houses on my street have now used them! Stuck to timescale, stuck to budget. Were polite, friendly and did a great job. Thrilled with the result.

Just had our loft completed by CS Lofts. Great experience from start to finish. Kept to the agreed costs with no unexpected extras. Hard working team. Special mention to Harry and Harvey. Nothing was too much of a problem. Even when I changed my mind Richard and Sam were more than happy to accommodate. The team were also happy to answer my questions and I had quite a few. Overall I'd recommend CS Lofts

The CS lofts team really made our home dreams come true. The transformation of our loft from nothing to a new floor of beautiful space. Having an additional bedroom and a room which is now used as a home office space has made the house feel so much bigger. The work standard was beyond expectation and I can't thank the team enough. Would recommend

Its taken a while to get round to this, Richard finished our conversion about 18 months ago. I just wanted to live with it for a while before commenting. We are very happy with it, everything's as it should be. The building work was as you'd expect but they did keep the house as clean as they could, He built a temporary wall and all the work went on behind it. So while a bit dusty nothing to deadly. Now we've had use of it its like its always been there. Very good builders, and very polite.

Very happy with the loft extension that Richard did for us. The finish was to a high quality and everything that we were promised got done, including all the snagging, which we appreciated. Reliable and good quality workmanship.

Very Happy with the loft Richard and team built for us. They were efficient and kept the project moving quickly. We lived in our house throughout the build which was less of an inconvenience that I expected. They went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with everything they did and I think the result is great.

I couldn’t be happier with my completed loft conversion by Richard and his team at our family home in Croydon. The ﬁnish is brilliant and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending CS lofts to friends and family. I have seen many loft conversions and refurbishments over the years and as a bit of a perfectionist, this work is in a completely different league. A huge thank you to the builders, in particular project manager Richard and all his team. Their guys were always on time, polite and considerate. The carpenter, plumber and electrician in particular did an excellent job. I had dreamt of how my loft bedroom and en-suite would look for ages and it is exactly how I envisaged and probably better. Thank you so much

By far the best experience I have had with a building firm. The big thing with these guys is not just the quality of the work, which was spot on, but the confidence you feel in leaving them to get on with it. Rich was in constant contact with us before, during and after the work. I have a young family and the level of disruption was minimal. Would recommend to anyone.

We're over the moon with our incredible new loft. Richard and co we're fantastic, very approachable and courteous, more than happy to answer our constant questions and queries. Richards great knowledge of loft conversions was evident in the ingenious ideas he had for us to maximise the space we'd created. We felt like we had a personal service, nothing was too much trouble, and Richard was always at he end of the phone to advise and guide us though the finer details, even on weekends. We're were so lucky chose CS Lofts, couldn't recommend then more.

Richard and his team exceeded all our expectations. We have used many builders and for once he and his team did what they said they would do when they said they would do it. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and already have to three friends.
