Obviously, the most important question you need to ask when considering a loft conversion in London is “how much does a loft conversion cost?” The loft conversion cost depends on a few things but mainly what type of loft conversion you looking to get. The cheapest is a loft window conversion going to the most expensive mansard conversion. Without having a look at your property or, at the very least, having a discussion about your plans it would be difficult to give an exact figure to the cost of your loft conversion. That said, there are some tips and advice that we can give when it comes to getting the best price for your loft conversion.

Firstly, the most expensive loft conversions are the ones that have to be done twice. This, unfortunately, happens more than you would expect. I am sure that you have seen the programmes on the TV that show what happens when a cowboy builder is hired because his prices seem to low to turn down. Taking down sub-standard building work and then completing the loft conversion is more expensive then hiring a reputable contractor in the first place. You can avoid this loft conversion cost by doing some due diligence on the London builders that you are considering hiring.

Also, when looking at the loft conversion cost you need to find out exactly what is included. Some builders are loft conversion specialists and therefore will only complete the structural work needed. Others offer a more complete package that includes decoration or bathroom fixtures and fittings so that the entire process is complete when they have finished. There is no right or wrong with this approach but you should be aware of exactly what work is going to be done. This way you can factor in decorators into the loft conversion cost when comparing like for like quotes. Or you might want to do the decoration yourself which will reduce the cost of a loft conversion.

We have been in the trade and know what makes a good builder and the signs that say that a builder should be avoided. If you don’t know a reputable builder that you can contact then we can arrange for the loft conversion specialist in your area to give you a call. You would be under no obligation and can use this call just for consultation purposes, if you so choose.
