I hired Hector and his company to renovate my flat in SE11. They did an excellent job. Lots of creative suggestions. Always found solutions instead of problems. Reliable. Flexible. Would 100% recommend. More...

Please do not use the company. I am sorry to say this but Hector is a sales man. You are led to believe it is his company and his work force doing work however all he does is out source work to other companies leading you to believe it is his work force. Once you have paid your money which in our case was over £100,000, he will not answer your calls regarding any problems and does not want to know. Sub contractor I have to say was helpful and still is. Please save your money and don’t waste it on a company like this. Hector you should be ashamed of the service you provide once the job is complete. More...

I needed two pieces of glass cut for my staircase. I also had a Zip car so was on a time limit. They had it cut and ready within the hour. Very happy with their service.

Q&As

The first step in assessing a loft’s potential is to check how much headroom is available. This should be measured from the top of the floor joists to the underside of the ridge beam.
A comfortable threshold is at least 2.4m. You may be able to get away with just 2.2m in some cases but the finished floor and ceiling will eat into this, leaving you with around 1.9m or 2m on completion, which could feel claustrophobic. contact Genesis London for advice on how to increase height.
The main limiting factor is the building regs related to staircases. These are slightly relaxed for lofts but still require a minimum of 1.9m headroom at the centre of the flight, and 1.8m at the edges (to account for sloping roofs).

Week One

At the beginning of the first week, the bulk of materials needed to build your loft conversion are delivered and loaded onto the scaffold.
We then cut a hole into the roof, which we use to gain access to the loft — this is how we will gain access until the new stairwell is built, thus limiting disturbance for you and your household as far as possible.
Steel beams are installed to support the new, independent floor and to support the weight of the roof once certain structural items have been removed.
New floor joists are fitted and plumbers and electricians may be called in at this stage to install under-floor pipes and wires.
The Local Authority building control officer will inspect the work at this stage to ensure that everything is being done in accordance with the approved plans and calculations.

Week two

Usually at the beginning of the second week, the new flooring is fixed down.
Alterations are now made to the roof itself — for example, Velux are installed, dormers and gables are built.
Any new internal walls are now built, whilst our approved roof tillers finish outside weather protection.
The electricians and plumbers will now visit if necessary to fit wires and pipes for radiators, switches, sockets and so on.

Week three

Normally at the start of the third week, insulation is cut and fitted to approved standards.
The Local Authority building control officer may wish to inspect the work again at this stage.
We cut and fit all new plasterboard wall covering.
The new stairwell access is now cut out, and we carry out any alterations necessary to the new flooring and your original floor downstairs

Week four

The new staircase is then fitted, around the beginning of week four.
All the new rooms and stairwell are now plastered.
After allowing sufficient drying time, final fittings are now carried out: the plumber will attach radiators, sanitary ware and so on; the electrician will fit switches, light fittings, smoke detectors; and the carpenter will fit doors, latches, architraves. skirting, handrails and spindles.

Week five and six

Around week five or six, the Local Authority building control officer will make his final inspection and report. The work is singed off by the Council.
Congratulations: your new loft conversion is ready for use!
