We are thrilled with our recent loft conversion from Abbey. The team led by Pellumb were professional, thorough, friendly and respectful. They were reliable and organised and we hardly knew that they were there, our neighbours also said the same and said they barely heard them so it made for an easy going build. The workmanship was excellent and the team maximised everything in the build to create maximum light and space. The roof is so well insulated now that the whole house is so much warmer. We chose to have a fairly high spec and the finishing by the team went above and beyond what we were

Please do not entertain contracting with this company for your loft conversion, it will mean no end of stress, poor project management, poor communication, downright rudeness and they are the most unprofessional organisation I have ever experienced. They will deny responsibility, deny the facts to their own trade body federation and even deny ever knowing you. They use different company names. If you do entertain contracting with this company for your loft conversion, ask them, do you deny using the name of your previously dissolved company?

We really couldnt recommend the team at Abbey enough. We had a tough ceiling height we needed to achieve in our loft without dropping the first floor ceilings. Abbey achieved what we were told was impossible by other loft conversion specialists and finished four weeks ahead of schedule. Our build team were incredible, led by Gjon, they were hugely respectful of our living area and of Covid restrictions as the build started in lockdown. We cant thank the team enough for our beautiful new room and for the whole experience from start to finish which I dont think could have been any better

Abbey have just carried out a loft conversion on my house and we are really happy with the results. The customer care and communication from the initial set up with Amanda (who organised visits for us to previous conversions) right through to the follow up call by Guy has been exemplary. Our project manager, Rob, was great. He set up a WhatsApp group for the job with all the team on it and responded swiftly to all requests and messages and kept us informed along the way. The build led by Peter was incredibly fast and efficient. We felt in really good hands with him, he really knows his stuff

The team did a fantastic job for us (Rob, Lisi, Dorian, Tani - sorry if l missed any names but you were all ace) - we cannot believe how they transformed dead space into an 18 foot long studio plus bathroom that is bigger than the family one below. And kept all our storage space !
