"A good builder is like a hidden Jem". Ruslan completed a major refurbishment for us in Virginia Park. The quality of workmanship in particular was outstanding. They do go over and above and generally offer a very professional service. I also found Ruslan very amicable for those "difficult moments" which makes a nice change. I cannot recommend their service highly enough. More...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Daniel’s Contractors & Development for an extension project at my home in Surrey, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome.
From the initial consultation to the final touches, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to quality.
The communication throughout the project was excellent. Ruslan provided regular updates, promptly addressed any concerns, and made sure I was involved in important decisions. Their transparency made the process much less stressful.
The quality of the construction is outstanding. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the extension. The team used high-quality materials and the craftsmanship is top-notch. It has truly transformed my home.
The project was completed on schedule, which I greatly appreciated. Ruslan managed the timeline efficiently, ensuring that each phase of the work was executed without unnecessary delays.
The entire team was professional and respectful. They maintained a clean worksite and were considerate of my neighbors, which is always a plus in residential projects.
Given the quality of work and the level of service provided, I believe the project was a great value for the investment. I received quotes from several contractors, and the company offered a fair price without compromising on quality.
Overall, I highly recommend Daniel’s Contractors & Development for any home extension projects.
Thank you for making my vision a reality!

How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
To determine if a loft is suitable for conversion, consider the following factors:
1. **Head Height**: Ideally, you need a minimum of 2.2 meters (about 7.2 feet) of headroom to create a comfortable living space. Measure the height at the highest point and ensure it meets this requirement.
2. **Floor Space**: Assess the floor area; a larger space will provide more flexibility for design. Typically, around 20 square meters is considered a minimum for a usable loft conversion.
3. **Access**: Check if there is sufficient space for a staircase. A safe and accessible way to reach the loft is crucial for usability.
4. **Structural Integrity**: Inspect the existing structure for any signs of damage or weakness. Consulting with a structural engineer can help determine if the existing beams and supports can handle the additional load.
5. **Natural Light**: Consider the availability of windows and natural light. Adequate lighting is essential for a comfortable living space.
6. **Building Regulations**: Investigate local building regulations and zoning laws. Some areas have restrictions on loft conversions, so it's essential to check before proceeding.
7. **Roof Type**: Gable roofs are typically more suited for conversion than flat roofs. A pitched roof allows for better headroom and design options.
8. **Insulation and Ventilation**: Ensure that the loft can be properly insulated and ventilated to meet comfort and energy efficiency standards.
9. **Utilities**: Consider the availability of plumbing and electrical systems. Accessing these services can impact the feasibility of your conversion.
By evaluating these factors, you can better determine if your loft is suitable for conversion into a livable space. Да
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
A loft conversion can be an excellent way to increase the living space in your home. Here are the typical stages of the loft conversion process:
1. Initial Consultation and Planning:
- Meet with an architect or contractor to discuss your ideas and requirements.
- Assess the feasibility of the conversion based on your loft's structure and local regulations.
- Obtain necessary planning permissions if required.
2. Design Phase:
- Develop detailed plans and designs for the loft conversion.
- Choose materials, layout, and finishes.
- Finalize the design and obtain any necessary approvals.
3. Structural Assessment:
- Conduct a thorough assessment of the existing structure to ensure it can support the additional weight.
- Identify any necessary reinforcement or alterations needed.
4. Preparation and Site Setup:
- Clear the loft space of any furniture or belongings.
- Set up scaffolding and safety measures to protect the work area and your home.
5. Roof Work:
- If needed, modify or replace the roof to accommodate the new space, including adding dormers or skylights.
- Ensure proper insulation and weatherproofing.
6. Floor Installation:
- Install a new floor structure to support the loft space.
- Ensure that the flooring is level and secure.
7. Internal Walls and Staircase:
- Construct internal walls to create rooms or spaces as per the design.
- Install a staircase to provide access to the loft.
8. Electrical and Plumbing Work:
- Install electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, and outlets.
- If applicable, set up plumbing for bathrooms or kitchens.
9. Insulation and Soundproofing:
- Add insulation to walls and ceilings to maintain temperature and reduce noise.
- Ensure compliance with building regulations regarding insulation standards.
10. Finishing Touches:
- Apply plastering, painting, and decorative finishes.
- Install flooring, windows, and any built-in furniture or cabinetry.
11. Final Inspection:
- Conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets safety and building regulations.
- Address any final adjustments or issues.
12. Completion and Handover:
- Once the work is complete, the contractor will clean up the site.
- Conduct a walk-through with the homeowner to ensure satisfaction.
- Hand over any necessary documentation, warranties, and maintenance information.
By following these stages, you can transform your loft into a functional and beautiful space in your home.

Basement Conversions
here is a good reason why basement conversions in London are increasingly popular. Space is at a premium in the capital’s properties and it is the one thing that most people want most. Therefore rather than facing the expense of moving house, homeowners are looking beneath their existing properties to discover hidden possibilities in their unused basements and cellars.
There are many options available to you if you want to go down this route and as specialist basement contractors we can take you through the construction logistics and building regulations applicable to each one. Depending on your existing property, there are three main ways. These include creating a basement as part of a new build, renovating an existing basement or cellar space, or excavating a new basement under an existing home and garden.
