When you decide to turn your unused attic space into a beautiful loft space to use as an additional bedroom, playroom, games room or home office, you may feel overwhelmed in choosing the right specialist company to carry out the conversion for you.

There are some tips and considerations to take into account to ensure you choose a reliable, reputable and experienced company to do the work. Take a walk around your local neighbourhood and see who is working on neighbours' properties. If you see the same company over and over again, this means they probably have a good reputation and are reliable. There is a reason so many of your neighbours are using them.

You can also use the internet. The internet offers a wealth of information and helps you find all the loft conversion specialists in your area. You can use their website to learn more about the company and the services they provide. Of course, word of mouth from your neighbours is always preferred, but the internet is a great resource to find companies and learn more about them.

Always read up on reviews. This cannot be stressed enough. There are a lot of ...
... dodgy building companies out there and you don't want to be caught out. You want a reliable, experienced, professional and reputable loft specialist to carry out the work for you. Speak to the companies and ask for a minimum of three references. You can also make use of independent online review sites to get feedback from past and present customers. Read as many reviews as possible to get a good feel for the company. This can help you narrow down your shortlist to a small handful of potential companies to work with.

It is essential to ensure that any of the loft specialists you are thinking of using have the appropriate insurance and guarantees in place. They should guarantee the work they are doing for you. They should guarantee their workmanship after the work is completed, in case you find any problems. They should back their workmanship to give you peace of mind in using their services.

They also need all risk insurance which will cover any damage that may be caused to your property during their work. This covers their equipment and covers them in the event of injury. Again this will give you peace of mind. A company operating without insurance should be immediately eliminated from your shortlist.

Find out about the structure of the loft conversion specialist. Do they have their team of professional contractors employed by the company or do they use subcontractors? If they use subcontractors such as plumbers and electricians, are they trusted partners that they have used for years and use on all their projects, helping to reduce costs and speed up the project time?

Does the loft conversion company offer you a project manager? A project manager is your point of contact throughout the project, they organize and arrange everything. Having a project manager on-site means that they deal with the construction crew and every aspect of your loft conversion, so you don't have to worry. The project manager should be on site and keep you updated on the progress of the project.

A reliable loft conversion specialist will offer you a free no-obligation quote that is clear and easy to understand. They should also discuss your requirements and expectations and then provide you with valuable insight into the project. They should be transparent about what you should expect, how long the project will take and what disruption you may experience.
