What Colchester Homeowners Say About Our Loft Conversion Specialists
Pitch-roof loft conversion on our 1960s semi in Colchester. Sound insulation between floors took the noise from upstairs to inaudible. Came in at £74900 across 14 weeks. Twelve-year structural warranty in writing on the new beam.
Used BestBuilders to find a loft specialist near Colchester - two responses were architects, two were design-and-build - went with design-and-build. Soundproofing the new floor was a priority and the spec they used genuinely works. Three trades on site at any time but the foreman ran the schedule like clockwork. Final bill £59640. Stamp duty saved by extending up rather than moving up.
Eight months in and the loft has become office, gym and guest room rolled into one. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Colchester suggested a wider staircase opening - a small change with a big impact. Total £65160. EPC went up to a B - the new insulation spec made all the difference.
