We had our loft conversion completed in 2020. We choose AKB after having various quotes from other specialists. AKB were not the cheapest but not the most expensive either, after meeting with Andrew and discussing the project with him in detail we trusted them to do a good job. We are very pleased with the finished conversion, Andrew was available throughout the project to help with any questions and the whole team of tradesmen were very professional and helpful throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and have another project that we are looking to start and would be happy to go with

Had an attic conversion from these guys and couldn't be happier with it. Andrew and his team are all exceptional at what they do, with great attention to detail to make sure the work completed is of the highest standard. It's transformed our 3 bedroom semi into a lovely 4 bedroom house, and it's changed our lives immeasurably. Not sure how we coped with just one bathroom for 6 years! We love our new bedroom and en suite, and it's been money very well spent. Feel like we've got an absolute bargain. Particularly with house prices in north Leeds being bonkers. Can't recommend AKB highly enough

AKB completed a loft conversion for us at the end of 2020, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Andrew and his team were professional and courteous at all times, and he took the time to explain the work, show us similar conversions, and provide us with options of what was possible. We went with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom but throughout the whole build we had chance to revise small details so we got exactly what we needed. On the occasions where we did have questions or concerns, Andrew and team were on it straight away. Andrew was also upfront about everything, helped us with other

The AKB team have just completed our loft extension. We had a hip to gable with dormer. We are really pleased and would recommend them to all. We had a challenging loft space with not much room for stairs or the finished room but their hard work, superior knowledge and dedication to get the job done paid off.

We hired AKB to do a roof conversion on our house. We wanted an additional 2 bedrooms and were happy to use the box-room area for the stairs. We also needed the ceilings lowering to make a bit more head space in the roof.
AKB got all the work done to a great standard and we are very happy with the results. They were easy to with and took care of everything in the project. I'd highly recommend their services.
