He dealt with our issue very professionally and reassured us this was going to be dealt with. As a result of his kindness if we ever need a loft conversion we will contact you. Thank you for your kindness Joel. More...

Dangerous driving, tried to cut in, during traffic and when couldn’t get in was throwing water over the car and cut up another car on the roundabout, surprised they didn’t cause multiple accidents.
Rude customer service, hope their work isn’t as shoddy as their driving.

I would appreciate your call so i can take this further. Regards Joel

I used Joel some time ago for my loft conversion and I recently recommended Loft Garu to my daughter for her loft conversion. As with previously he did a professional, swift job and discussed any issues as they arouse. They were both respectful and friendly and a pleasure to work with. Well done boys on yet another highly professional conversion. More...

After getting 5 quotations I decided to move forward with Loft Guru. We was very impressed with the enthusiasm with Joel and his ideas and his explanation made it clear what we could do and what we could end up with, this was a big plus as others didn’t seem to have the same vision.
The final outcome was just as explained and the work has been finished to a high standard. We also used there preferred painter, Dave, who also done a splendid job. All in all very very pleased, have already recommended to friends and will continue to do so.

Couldn’t be happier with my new bedroom and bathroom, trusting people in my house when I was at work most days was most important to me, the quality of the work is amazing and was completed in just 5 weeks.
I have already recommended Joel to friends - highly recommended

I got my loft done with these people and couldn’t be happier with the service I received
Fran Lewis
After getting several quotes, George obviously had a extensive knowledge of what we could do, and just how much space could be created, he gave us confidence and explained the whole process in a lot more detail than other people we see.
Once the project started, Joel was the team leader who each day guided us through what would be done, the whole team was great, extremely tidy and I must say worked very hard throughout the whole project, despite my Neighbour being extremely difficult to deal with but they handled her perfectly.
I’m so happy with the final finish, I even used a decorator Joel recommended. If you are considering a loft conversion I highly recommend these guys
Thank you to the whole team at Loft Guru

How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
There are many factors involed to see whether your loft is suitable for a conversion or not. The good thing is, most are!
One of the primary factors is height. The ridge line is usually the highest point in most lofts, if the height from the top of the ceiling to the underside of the ridge is 2300mm (230cm) or higher, this would usually mean the height is sufficient.
If your lower than 2300mm then if height is sufficient on the first floor, the ceilings can be lowered to obtain the height within the loft.
Are you in a conservation area? This can sometimes be a restiction on the size of the dormer allowed of any. If you are unsure, here at Loft Guru we can undertake a survey and let you know.
95% of loft conversions do not need planning permission but building regulations are always required, along with working drawings and structural calculation which are subbmitted to the local authority.
Run us through the different stages in the loft conversion process - what’s involved?
The first stage would be to make an appointment, this would enable us to carry out a full survey, discuss options, your requirements and budget.
Once costs are agreed and a deposit has been made, our architect will visit, measure and produce drawings for your approval. Once approved these are then submitted to both the local authority and oir structural engineer.
On an agreed start date the scaffolding will be erected and work will commence. The installation of the steel beams is usually the first structural element undertaken as its these steels beams that will bare the weight of your new loft conversion. The structural floor is then installed followed by the dormer.
The roofing works are then undertaken to ensure the elements are kept outside the building, while the qualified electrical engineer and plumbing first fix are installed.
The new space can now be insulated to meet current building regulations, plasterboarded, plastered and the bespoke made staircase installed.
The second fix electrical, plumbing and carpentry works can then be completed, all finished to a high standard ready for any decoration.
The process generally takes 6-8 weeks.
What do you love most about your job?
What do I love about my job.? As well as actully being proud of what I do and running my own business, it has to be the job satisfaction, I love it when my clients come home from work to see the progress we have made and just how happy people are when the job is complete.
Nothing better than putting a smile on peoples faces and making a difference in someones life.
I also take pride in knowing the job has been done correctly and to a high standard, but above all is saftey, especially if children live in the property.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Ive always admired people who run their own business, or generally successful. Im a stong beliver in helping everyone to succeed, again i think this is me wanting to help put a smile on peoples faces.
If your wanting a loft conversion, let me help you succeed with all the right knowledge and exprience to back it up.
