โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Mansard-style loft conversion on our 1930s semi in Southampton. Single large bedroom with vaulted ceiling and exposed steel beam over the new opening. Total ยฃ41400 over 11 weeks on site. Building control sign-off on the first inspection, no remedials.

Used BestBuilders to find a loft specialist near Southampton - three site visits in one week, all quotes back by the following Monday. Stairs were the tricky bit - reconfigured the landing without losing the family bathroom. Daily 5pm sweep-up, weekly progress meeting, never once felt out of the loop. Final bill ยฃ46760. EPC went up two bands thanks to the new insulation spec.

Three years post-completion, zero issues, no creaks, no draughts. Builder we found via BestBuilders in Southampton pushed back on the original architect drawings and saved us ยฃ4k of unnecessary steel. Total ยฃ50440. Stamp duty saved by extending up rather than moving up.
