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

I recently hired Modern Lofts Roofing for a complete roof replacement, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final inspection, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. They provided a clear estimate and worked diligently to complete the project on time. The quality of the materials used is outstanding, and my new roof not only looks great but also provides peace of mind for years to come. Highly recommend their services for anyone in need of roofing work! More...

Modern loft rooms team build a double storey extension in Walthamstow for us which involved knocking down the existing ground floor bathroom and replacing it with kitchen extension and bathroom on the first floor. Team were very professional and knowledgeable (comes with experience of many years for sure!) and built to a very good standard and within our budget consulting with us regularly on any issues that arose. We have had some challenges along the way due to how the house was originally built but Colin and the team helped us through everything and accomodated our requests without a problem. We love our new spaces now that the built has been completed and would recommend the Modern loft rooms. If you are looking for builders with experience consider Modern loft rooms as your choice.

Property Extensions
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...

I had my loft conversion done by Colin and the team. They are exceptional workers and made sure I was happy with the process every step of the way. They were professional and friendly and I would recommend to family and friends! 5 Stars. More...
N&JP
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...

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.
