Cabrio-balcony loft conversion on our 1930s semi in Swansea. Home office plus guest bedroom split, soundproofed floor, decent desk-height eaves storage. Total ยฃ42400 over 11 weeks on site. Structural calcs, design and build all under one roof.

Used BestBuilders to find a loft specialist near Swansea - narrowed on insurance-backed warranty offer rather than price alone. Stairs were the tricky bit - reconfigured the landing without losing the family bathroom. Spec sheet was 14 pages long - left zero room for surprise extras. Final bill ยฃ48160. Building control sign-off straightforward, no comeback.
