Recently had our loft conversion done by Herts & Essex Lofts. Large bedroom and en-suite shower room. They were brilliant from start to finish. Very easy to work with and we had excellent communication with the project manager. Aside from the roofers, all of the tradespeople were wonderful. They were all polite and efficient, did excellent quality work and tidied and secured everything at the end of each day. The build was estimated at six weeks and it took about eight but only due to our door frames being an odd size and having to wait for a second order to be delivered. They are a well-oiled

We used Herts & Essex for a loft conversion. The whole team were exceptional in everything they did, from their workmanship to their attitude. They were friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and really good at their jobs, and nothing was a problem. Demi, especially, was brilliant. Every potential problem/query (not that there were many) we gave him he easily solved. This made the whole process as stress free as possible. I cannot recommend this company highly enough, we are really pleased with the result and it was done in super quick time. A special mention for Dean and Francis as well - really

I could not recommend these guys enough if you are considering a loft extension. The team were brilliant and considerate throughout the build. The project manager was excellent we felt in safe hands the entire way. The team who did the initial build were great and the contractors used throughout were again extremely professional and the end product we couldnt be happier with. Its given our little home a new lease of life. Thank you H&E!

Couldnt recommend these guys more highly! We were so pleased with our loft and the team went out of their way to make sure we were happy and everything was finished to our exact specifications. The job was finished to a very high standard, for a very reasonable price and any queries were addressed straight away by their superb project manager Demi. An extremely professional company but more importantly for us, just absolutely lovely guys, friendly and considerate, it was a pleasure having them work in our home.

Couldn't be happier with our experience with Herts & Essex Lofts. We were nervous as we've had bad experiences with builders in the past but these guys were so great to deal with. The costing was thorough and it was completely clear what was included, and at no point throughout the build was there any dispute over the agreed price. Their teams are super polite, clean and tidy, and just generally nice to be around. And the end result is just amazing, we are so pleased, really recomend these guys. The design means the loft just feels like part of the house and the finish is brilliant.
