Ruben
Dave and his team recently completed a two-storey side extension, front porch, rear extension, hip-to-gable loft conversion, and a full refurbishment to a house we purchased that hadn’t had any work carried out for over 50 years.
They took full control of the project from the outset. We worked with their in-house planning and design team to secure planning permission, structural calculations, building control approval, and the party wall agreement.
The entire process was streamlined by having a single point of contact – Dave – who managed everything from start to finish. We were very happy with the standard of workmanship throughout, and the project was completed on time and within budget. We would not hesitate to recommend Dave and his team for anyone seeking a high-quality, professionally managed construction project.

“Easy Plans Design and Build were outstanding from start to finish. Professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. They made the whole process stress-free and delivered exactly what was promised. Highly recommend their team.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
A loft is generally suitable for conversion if there is sufficient head height (typically around 2.2 m at the highest point), a suitable roof structure, and the ability to install a compliant staircase. Structural alterations, insulation, fire safety, and planning constraints must also be considered, which are usually confirmed through a professional survey.
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
A loft conversion progresses through structural steel and timber installation, first-fix carpentry, external weatherproofing, insulation, and first-fix electrics and plumbing. This is followed by plasterboarding and plastering, staircase installation, and second-fix electrics and plumbing, resulting in a fully compliant, finished living space ready for use.
What do you love most about your job?
Creating new liveable spaces for families to enjoy.
What inspired you to start your own business?
With 12 years’ experience in as a Building Control surveyor, I developed a strong understanding of compliance and quality. Opening my own business allowed me to apply that knowledge directly on site, ensuring projects are built right, not just inspected.
Why should our clients choose you?
We are a professional construction company with deep technical expertise, ensuring every project is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards of compliance and quality.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
