How it works

From first visit to finished loft

One team, one fixed price, and one project manager from the first survey to the day the work is signed off and the room is yours to use.

No obligation

We tell you what your roof allows and give you a fixed price, in one visit.

The shape of it

Twelve weeks, and eight of them are the build.

Everything before the scaffold goes up is design, drawings and paperwork. That part is on us.

These timings are a guide only, not a promise. The exact schedule depends on many factors that we will talk through with you before any work begins.

  1. 01Day one · about an hour

    Your free design survey

    We come to the house, measure from the floor to the underside of the ridge, look at how the roof is built and where the stairs can land. Then we tell you honestly what your roof allows.

    If it will not work, we say so on the day rather than selling you something that disappoints.

    Your fixed written price

    One quote, itemised, agreed before a tool is lifted. Staged payments at milestones, so you are never paying for work that has not happened yet.

    No provisional sums that grow once the scaffold is up.

    Design and planning

    Architectural drawings, structural calculations, and the planning application where one is needed. All handled by our own team, so you are not appointing an architect and an engineer separately and hoping they talk to each other.

    Most conversions fall under permitted development and need no full application at all.

    We build it

    Our own tradespeople, and one named project manager on your job from the first visit to sign-off, whose number you have. Scaffold up, roof opened, the new structure in, and the whole thing made watertight before anything else happens.

    The site gets tidied at the end of each day because we are the ones coming back to it.

    Sign-off and your guarantee

    Building control inspect and sign off the work, and you get the ten-year written guarantee in your hand along with an insurance-backed scheme if you want one.

    What you are handed is a room you can move into, not a snagging list.
