Colin and his team did a great job of creating a completely new bathroom with walk in shower made accessible for an older person to use in comfort.

We couldn’t vouch any more for this company removing our Roof under the tin hat where they was weathered every single day really helped to get the project completed quicker . The team was very easy to get along with very polite, very friendly. There was a site foreman on site every single day looking after all the workers and making sure all the targets was hit on time. They was not the cheapest we must say, but their quality of work was through the roof and we would love to work with the team again in the future. More...

Modern Loft Rooms was recommended by one of our friends they done a Loft conversion for and we was very happy with their work.
We did see some negative reviews on Trust Pilote but it was nothing to worry about for us as our friends have already worked with them so we’ve gave them a chance .
The team started on day one and was on the project for six weeks every single day they delivered exactly what they said they would and their work is outstanding. They had a labourer cleaning up every single day to make sure everything was cleaned down and our drive was clear so we can park our cars Very honest people who care more for their clients so if you are looking to use anyone this company is for you

Colin Miles of Modern Loft Rooms came after a request to build a double garage at the bottom of our garden - the garage eventually turned into an office and out-house thanks to his advice and design comments. The build was competitively priced by Colin Miles of Modern Loft Rooms and after seeing several different companies I chose Colin Miles’ company due to instantly getting on with him, the fair price and the ideas he brought to the job, which were lacking in the other companies interviewed. After 8 weeks of building and then decorating the outhouse which consists of under floor heated wooden floor boards, two Skylights - cladding and rendered on the inside and out, along with electricity/power - we are very pleased with the final results which has added another dimension, as well as considerable value to our home. Colin and team were professional and courteous throughout the process not only to my family but also to the neighbours. Myself and family sincerely wish Colin and his team all the best who in our opinion are true masters of their craft. More...

Despite early good will, Colin and Modern Loft Rooms provided an inadequate and careless service. He undertook to remove an asbestos garage roof, replace it with a new corrugated roof and provide us with certificates of safe asbestos disposal. The work was carried out over two or three days at a cost to us of approximately £3500. Colin had subcontracted the waste disposal to another firm (who were paid in advance). However, communication between the two companies was hopeless. The waste company sent a ‘man with a van’ who first arrived before the asbestos was ready for collection. It was almost three weeks before he returned, but then refused to remove it on the grounds that it was too heavy (despite having been sent photographs previously). After repeated prompting from us, Colin said he would collect it himself and arrange separate disposal. It duly disappeared soon after, but no certificates of safe disposal were ever provided. Three months later, the new roof became badly warped and distorted, enabling water to collect and pool. It is clearly not fit for purpose. Colin was informed and was sent photographs six months ago. He accepted there was a serious problem, saying he could see what was wrong, and promising to come and fix it. He has promised to attend to take care of it on at least ten occasions, always only after constant cajoling, but has never actually showed up to do the job. He offers no explanation and when pressed afterwards claims variously that he is short of staff, short of money, has been ill, had a family bereavement and that it was raining. After six months, we have been obliged (at great cost) to make alternative arrangements. This is tradesmanship at its worst and he really should be stopped. We have informed him that we will take him to trading standards, but he said this was ‘blackmailing’ and we should ‘trust’ him, promising again to fix it, claiming it was not his ‘fault’ but the suppliers. There has been no progress whatsoever. We are in our late seventies and find his approach neglectful and deeply distressing. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The contract was embodied in Modern Loft Rooms Invoice Number 182 dated 31 August 2023 for £3510.00 for removal of asbestos garage roof and to supply and fit corrugated sheet roof. The bill was paid in full on 4 Sept 2023 to bank account nominated on the invoice. This invoice shows that the company took over £3500 of our money for a roof that lasted barely three months. Their suggestion that they were not involved is untrue. I politely appeal to the Trustpilot QA team to ensure the speedy removal of this untruth. More...

Came across Modern Loft Rooms by chance - a lucky internet search! As we looked for quotes for our 30sqm extension and garage conversion, Colin called up and popped over to give us a very good and competitive quote and talked us through the process. They started promptly in July 2021 and finished 13 weeks later. Despite a few delays caused by fuel strikes and COVID, Colin and the team endeavored to get the job done and to a high standard. Thanks to Colin and the team, we now have doubled the size of our lounge; doubled our kitchen size and gained two new rooms (a utility room and a playroom). Our house has become more than just a home, but our dream home! We will definitely be recommending Colin and the team at Modern Loft Rooms to our family, friends and colleagues. More...

They were exceptional in every way! They did not leave the site once "to visit builders yards" etc like most builders do as before they started the work, they ensured that every nut/nail/piece of material they needed was on site so they were able to work from early morning until late afternoon. A very refreshing change! The standard of work was amazing as was the speed in which the work was done. One particular worker was so knowledgeable about everything making us feel confident in what sort of job we could expect. They were friendly and enjoyed their work, taking pride in doing every part of it to a high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. An excellent company and a pleasure to do business with them. More...

They were friendly and quick to respond to questions. The job was completed within 8 weeks - which is super fast from scaffolding going up at the front and back of my house to electricians installing new electrics and plumbing. They even re-designed the layout of the bathroom (including changing the shape and size) without a quibble. Really impressed with the decor result and would highly recommend them. More...

How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
A garage conversion classes as a ‘change of use’ so it will require building regulations approval.
To comply with building regs your garage conversion must:
Be structurally sound
Have a damp-proof course
Have wall, floor and loft insulation so it is energy efficient
Have had all electrics safety tested
Be moisture proofed, with good ventilation
Have been fire-proofed and have escape routes
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
The first job will be stripping out the main structure, at which point you’ll get the clearest view yet of what’s in store – including where you’re most likely to encounter unexpected problems (such as patchy foundations or hidden issues in the walls) that could add to costs.
An existing concrete floor might well be strong enough to cope with general domestic use. However, it may need to be levelled (consider a self-levelling liquid screed), damp-proofed with a suitable membrane (lapping into the walls’ DPC) and insulated to achieve adequate thermal performance.
Garage floors tend to be lower than those in the main house, so it may be possible to incorporate all of this and still achieve a step-free threshold between the two zones.
Infilling the door
The most common route is to replace the main garage door with conventional walling matching the rest of the building, such as a masonry infill fully toothed and bonded into the existing brickwork.
The design stage assessment should identify whether the foundations need upgrading to take the new loads. Planning allowing, you could add windows or a glazed access door and introduce more daylight into your new space, which may also help reduce the loads imposed.
If your budget will stretch, you could even have a little fun with the design – perhaps by going for a fully glazed wall.
Wall insulation
Integrated garages are usually built to the same standard as the main house, so the walls may not need upgrading.
Attached or detached garages of single-skin construction can be insulated internally; usually by erecting stud walling using timbers deep enough to accept sufficient insulation (plus an air gap).
Buildings with cavity walls can have insulation blown into the gap, thus preserving the internal floor space.
If you’re going for a part-conversion, retaining a parking space, you’ll need to erect a fully-insulated internal dividing wall that is designed to provide 30-minute fire protection.
This can be done in blockwork, or switch to timber studwork lined with pink fireline plasterboard on the garage side.
Roof insulation
The simplest way to insulate a garage roof is at loft level. With a pitched covering, 270mm of mineral wool should be sufficient – 100mm between the joists, and the rest on top.
Warm roof setups, which are insulated at rafter level, are also possible and can enable the use of rooflights to bring in more natural brightness.
Flat roofs will need to be fitted with rigid insulation between and under the ceiling joists, with a ventilation gap above to prevent condensation. If you want to preserve floor-to-ceiling height, go for slim multifoil or PIR (polyisocyanurate) products.
Windows & doors
The fenestration you specify will need to hit the required whole-unit U-values (1.6 W/m2K for windows; 1.8 for doors), match your security expectations, provide adequate ventilation and suit the style of your home.
If you’re keen to keep costs down, aim to work to standard-sized units.
Casements, sashes and doorsets can be incorporated by punching a suitable hole in the wall and adding lintels as required. The same is true of openings between the main house and garage.
For larger spans enabling a more open-plan feel, a reinforcing steel beam may be needed. This kind of work may require calculations from a structural engineer.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
We recomend , the pitch should be at a higher angle, so that the central head height is the highest possible. Any angle above 30 degrees would work best. In order for your proposed loft conversion to pass building regulations, it must measure 2.2 metres from the floor to the highest point.
