Used BestBuilders to find a loft specialist near Cowes - final pick was the team with the longest workmanship guarantee. Dual-purpose handrail to the new staircase doubles as the loft balustrade. Daily 5pm sweep-up, weekly progress meeting, never once felt out of the loop. Final bill ยฃ59640. Loft now genuinely feels like part of the house, not bolted on.
