We received 4 quotations for our proposed loft extension. TLC came highly recommended and as soon as we met with Connor we felt very comfortable and at ease. They instructed their draftsman to draw up the proposed plans and were very accommodating in amending the plans, once we were happy they filled in all paperwork and submitted documents and plans into the council. Once we got planning we had a meeting and agreed a start date. We had a lovely team (Callum and Sean to name a few) they showed commitment, compassion and are extremely hard workers. TLC were always there to answer any questions

We have been delighted with The Loft Converter. We engaged them for our project which included a loft conversion, reconfiguration of our first floor, new porch and utility room and 2 new bathrooms. The entire team, coordinated by Connor the project manager (who is fantastic!), were patient, courteous and professional, upholding very high standards. They all were mindful of the fact that we were living in the property during the conversion and were respected our space. We are so pleased with the result, have received many compliments and are proud of our home- thanks to TLC. Particular thanks go

TLC built my loft this year and we could not be happier with the finished result, the communication and management from the team throughout the project was great and nothing was ever too much to ask. I am hoping to have an extension later on in the year and will definitely be chosing TLC

TLC built my L shaped Loft and provided my family with two new rooms and a second bathroom. Even thought the build was during the Covid Lock down the TLC team cracked on and got the project finished to high quality. I recommended them to my neighbour who is now having his loft done - happy days.
