What Leicester Homeowners Say About Our Loft Conversion Specialists

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… 4.7 / 5
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Dormer loft conversion on our 1930s semi in Leicester. Two new bedrooms plus a small shower room, fixed staircase landing on, fire doors throughout. Total ยฃ40600 over 11 weeks on site. Building control sign-off on the first inspection, no remedials.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Used BestBuilders to find a loft specialist near Leicester - three quotes within 48 hours, all itemised properly. Stairs were the tricky bit - reconfigured the landing without losing the family bathroom. We moved out for two weeks during the steels and roofing - the rest was bearable. Final bill ยฃ45640. EPC went up two bands thanks to the new insulation spec.

A year on, the new loft bedroom is the favourite room in the house. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Leicester pushed back on the original architect drawings and saved us ยฃ4k of unnecessary steel. Total ยฃ49160. Stamp duty saved by extending up rather than moving up.
