Loftplan Reviews

We have just had a wonderful loft bedroom and ensuite built by Loftplan and are so pleased with the results.

First of all the salesman who quoted was excellent. We looked into quotes before we had even moved in to the house, and the quote and waiting time were both accurate and reasonable.

The scaffolding arrived just before Christmas,and gave us something to hang our lights off! From the scaffolders to the builders, plasterers, plumbers electricians etc etc who worked on the build,they were polite and hardworking, Alex and John the builders came to work one day in February, scraped the snow off the roof and started work.

The way of working,which involved not having to enter the house until the staircase was built was great as the build started a week into the 3rd lockdown,and we had myself and two teenagers working online throughout the build.

Nothing was too much trouble for Alex and John (as long as you kept warming them up with black coffee with two sugars) They worked hard, not missing a day. They kept us informed of what was going to happen when, as did the first fix manager. The only thing I would say is that we had to make some decisions quite early on and it was difficult to envisage what it was going to look like, particularly as due to movement issues I couldn’t climb the ladder up to the loft. Some sort of VR would be useful for seeing how the space was going to look, when picking bathrooms etc. We made an error with where we put the radiator due to this, leaving no space for wardrobes, although Loftplan were quick to rectify this and moved the radiator at no extra charge.

The organisational skills of Loftplan were fantastic. Very little time was lost as materials were always there when needed and plumbers etc scheduled when necessary.

Once Alex and John had finished it was time for the staircase and the plastering. The staircase and ceiling were a work of art, very Gaudi-esque, and once again very well built. The knocking through was no where near as disruptive or as messy as we expected, mostly due to the care taken and the hoovering which was done faithfully at the end of every day!

Kevin the 2nd fix guy, was thorough and detailed in his list of snags, and everything was carefully completed or repaired by Brian, who had a great attention to detail. Nothing was rushed and it did take slightly longer than the 12 week estimate, but it was well worth it.

My only slight criticism is that,once the initial build was completed, things slowed down quite a bit and communication was not always as good as we would have liked, although being in the middle of a lockdown didn’t help!

The end result is a lovely room which certainly has the ‘wow’ factor. I felt they cared about the room as much as we did and, on the whole, every member of Loft plan staff were polite, hardworking and great at their job.

True craftsmen.

Helen Strong, Emmer Green,

We recently contracted Loftplan to install our new loft conversion, which has now transformed an unused Victorian roof space into two new bedrooms, an en-suite shower and a spectacular roof terrace.

Our experience has been exceptional from start to finish and we are extremely pleased with our new living space.

Kyle’s design maximises the available loft space and ensures we have large rooms, high headroom, good ergonomics and plenty of built in storage.

Following the initial design and planning phase, Loftplan were able to successfully secure permissions within 8 weeks, even during the difficult backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The scaffold was erected with minimum disruption to neighbours, and we were pleased to learn we wouldn’t have to install a large tin structure above the roof as appears to be common in our area.

The build commenced soon after, and our first fix teams Mike, Andy, John and Alex were polite, punctual, efficient and worked hard in all weathers. We were kept informed at each point of the build and they were happy to accommodate small layout changes throughout the first fix, helping us carefully think through each decision. We worked from home throughout the entire project and it was incredible to see the speed of progress as the shell of our conversion began to take form.

Mark and David are extremely skilled and efficient carpenters, who have made sure our internal fixtures are designed and built to a high standard. The built-in wardrobes in particular exceeded our expectations.

2nd fix supervisor Kevin provided us with expert advice and knowledge, helping coordinate the carpenters and electrician, as well as the plumbers and tilers who installed our en-suite bathroom and wet room to perfect precision. The final finish is magnificent, and we have received many compliments from our guests and other tradespeople who have visited since.

The plasterer Kevin and electrician Dave were also professional and hard working, together with their respective teams. All office staff were available and responsive whenever we had a query.

The final result is a spectacular, spacious and modern living area that has transformed our life at home significantly.

We would be happy to provide a recommendation or share photos with anyone who is considering a loft conversion with Loftplan.

Cris, Guildford,

We were very impressed with the workmanship and professionalism we received from Loftplan and the friendliness of everyone we had contact with.

Alan at the start was very responsive and helpful and immediately made us feel in safe hands.

Our first-fix team (Dean and Lee, supervised by Bob) were amazing, they felt like part of the family and really made us feel like they wanted the best for us and worked hard to achieve it, giving us ideas and advice along the way.

Our second-fix supervisor Kevin was very approachable and worked with us to take our loft through to a completion that we were very happy with.

We would ( and have) recommend Loftplan to anyone considering a conversion.

Hannah Rowden, Basingstoke,

We have been very impressed and very pleased with Loftplans service throughout the process from initial planning to building and completion.

All the employees of loftplan have been friendly, professional and great with our large family of children and pets!

Bob made the process smooth and quickly sorted any minor issues. Ian and Jo were fabulous at building and improving the build with great ideas, along with answering our questions!

On the second fix Kevin in particular was great at coordinating all the workmen and keeping us fully informed of what was happening and when.

We also highly recommend Dave the carpenter. His work is of very high quality.

We would not hesitate to recommend Loftplan to anyone!
