Report
We received 4 quotations for our proposed loft extension. TLC came highly recommended and as soon as we met with Connor we felt very comfortable and at ease. They instructed their draftsman to draw up the proposed plans and were very accommodating in amending the plans, once we were happy they filled in all paperwork and submitted documents and plans into the council. Once we got planning we had a meeting and agreed a start date. We had a lovely team (Callum and Sean to name a few) they showed commitment, compassion and are extremely hard workers. TLC were always there to answer any questions

We have been delighted with The Loft Converter. We engaged them for our project which included a loft conversion, reconfiguration of our first floor, new porch and utility room and 2 new bathrooms. The entire team, coordinated by Connor the project manager (who is fantastic!), were patient, courteous and professional, upholding very high standards. They all were mindful of the fact that we were living in the property during the conversion and were respected our space. We are so pleased with the result, have received many compliments and are proud of our home- thanks to TLC. Particular thanks go

TLC built my L shaped Loft and provided my family with two new rooms and a second bathroom. Even thought the build was during the Covid Lock down the TLC team cracked on and got the project finished to high quality. I recommended them to my neighbour who is now having his loft done - happy days.

Report
We recently had a loft conversion using TLC. From the very beginning when a member of the team came round for the initial assessment, I knew this was the company I wanted to use as they were so professional and upfront about what work would be required to get the final result we were looking for. I had also been recommended TLC from a friend of a friend who could do nothing but praise their work.
I had received quotes from 4 other companies prior to meeting with TLC, the quote received by TLC fell in the middle ground with regards to price, but what sold me was the way they claimed the work would
