What Edinburgh Homeowners Say About Our Loft Conversion Specialists
Pitch-roof loft conversion on our Victorian terrace in Edinburgh. Two new bedrooms plus a small shower room, fixed staircase landing on, fire doors throughout. Total £40200 over 11 weeks on site. Building control sign-off on the first inspection, no remedials.
Used BestBuilders to find a loft specialist near Edinburgh - two responses were architects, two were design-and-build - went with design-and-build. Builder did the structural drawings and party wall notices in-house. We moved out for two weeks during the steels and roofing - the rest was bearable. Final bill £45080. EPC went up two bands thanks to the new insulation spec.
Eight months in and the loft has become office, gym and guest room rolled into one. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Edinburgh recommended a slightly larger dormer than we asked for - they were right. Total £48520. Stamp duty saved by extending up rather than moving up.
