KEY QUESTIONS

Choosing the right loft conversion company is an important decision so to help the process we have listed some key questions you will want to answer:

Are building control fees included?

At CS Lofts building control fees are included in every quote as standard. If these aren’t included in a quote it can be an expensive shock when you are presented with the bill.

Some loft conversion companies will take your deposit when the contact is signed but then require you to sign additional disclaimers before work begins. For example, refusing to accept responsibility for any water ingress during the build unless you pay for an expensive tin hat scaffold. CS Lofts do not do this.
We do not require our clients to pay for expensive tin hat scaffolding. Our team of specialists operate a thorough system of weatherproofing allowing us to be confident that your home will be weather tight throughout the built. If you would like us to use a tin hat the additional cost is around £3,000. Many firms try to upsell the need for a tin hat and then charge £4,000-£5,000 extra.
At CS Lofts our owners Richard and Sam carry out all of our quotes and then project manage all of the builds. This means they can guarantee they every loft built is exactly what was promised in the quote. Other loft conversion companies use charming sales people who promise the world but you never see again after the deposit is paid.
At CS Lofts we do not use subcontractors, every stage of your build is carried out in house giving us total quality control. Other loft conversion companies are simply interested in the sale and then subcontract the work to the lowest bidder.

At CS Lofts we are committed to complete transparency in our quotes. We have worked hard to build a quote form that clearly sets out what is, and is not, included so that you know exactly what you are getting. Many firms come in with an attractive headline price and only reveal the extra costs once your deposit has been paid.

At CS Lofts we offer a 10 year guarantee on all of our work. Other loft conversion companies advertise 10 year guarantees but then limit this to certain elements of their work. CS Lofts 10 year guarantee is also fully transferable when you sell your home. Other loft conversion companies wont allow the guarantee to be transferred, creating all sorts of complications when you come to sell.
