I'm pleased to add to all the other 5 star reviews on here. We feel lucky to have found such an honest and professional company who are easy to deal with, deliver to timescale and complete the work to a high finish. Visionary completed our loft over 2 years ago. But with an imminent baby on the way at the time and life taking over I've only just got around to submitting a review! Visionary predicted a 9 week timescale and I think they completed within 8 weeks. This also included some minor variations, a newly tiled roof and fitted wardrobes which were not in the original scope. We’ve had several neighbours comment on how quickly the work seemed to be carried out and have asked for Visionary’s contact details as a result. We have been loving the extra space we now have with 2 extra rooms and an ensuite. Still to this day the amount of bright sunlight that streams in through the loft windows brings joy to my life. JP and Kasia really know how to look after their customers throughout the whole process. We would definitely consider them again for future buidling work. As with all major building projects there may be minor snags to resolve after the intial build and Visionary have been great at returning to resolve them.

We loved using Kasia and JP for our loft conversion and are absolutely chuffed with the finished product. Even at the time we were getting quotes they were streets ahead - not necessarily the cheapest but we felt far more at ease with Visionary and trusted them to do the work. They felt like much more of a personal company than others and took a different approach to each project depending on the house and owners’ requirements. They gave great advice throughout and the weekly Saturday morning updates/WhatsApp group were a fantastic way to keep us informed and for us ask questions (without ever feeling like we were asking stupid ones!). The work was completed to a really high standard and we knew what was going on at all times - the team worked incredibly hard, were tidy and advised us where things might/might not work. Would highly recommend!

You guys were great clients to work with! Responsive to messages, paying on time and respectful to the trades and management team working on your project. We feel really fortunate to have had such a amazing couple to build a loft for.

The extra height in your loft and the big sliding doors made your space feel extra special. Definitely a project to remember :)

Thank you Stephen for taking time to share your experience you have had with us! Today, I was showing to one of our other clients photo of your loft and the stunning colour you chose for your carpentry work and walls! So unique!

Having our loft converted with Visionary Lofts has been an extremely positive experience. From the initial meeting with JP, to the completion of the project, there really was very little that could have been improved upon. -We were told to allow for the project to take up to 12 weeks but it was completed in less than 9 which was amazing! -All tradesmen worked to a high standard and were polite and tidy. -We were kept well-informed about what was happening and when. -We even received a gift for our new baby before we had even employed visionary Loft’s services! And Kasia was known to bring delicious cakes to one of our meetings - such lovely finishing touches that make an already great experience that extra bit special! If we ever find ourselves in the position to need another loft conversion (although hopefully that’s us done now!!) we would most definitely use visionary lofts again; we have already recommended them to others and will continue to do so.

12 months on, still very happy with the loft conversion completed by Visionary Lofts. Very professional job, and willing to work with us to ensure we made the best use of the space. Staff were all very helpful, the site was left clean and tidy each day and we were kept well informed with the project as it progressed.

Happy to hear that you are happy with the end result a year later.

It is not always easy to work on a project where there is already an existing loft, but you were both very understanding to the fact that we can sometimes come across unknowns when opening up an existing loft...great client to work with!

Amazing Experience! From the moment JP stepped through our door for the free consultation, we knew this was the loft conversion company to use. JP was professional, respectful and honest when he gave us the initial quote, very upfront and also friendly. When the project began, we met Kasia who shares many of the same qualities as JP which made the running of the project very simple. Yes, there were some times of confusion but through our weekly meetings and the option to call her whenever we needed meant that any confusion got rectified extremely quickly. The tradesmen themselves were excellent and the attention to detail is just brilliant. They also kept the areas as clean and tidy as possible. The speed of work was amazing, we still can't believe how quick they work, our project also finished in just 8 weeks when we were expecting 12 so that was a bonus! I would not hesitate to reccomend Visionary Lofts to anybody, you can guarantee the work will be completed quickly and professionally to a high standard. I am so glad we picked the right company to work with! Thank you Visionary Lofts!

Absolutely recommend Visionary Lofts. We did a loft conversion, completely new kitchen including vaulted ceilings, new bathroom and new plastering through the hall and second bedroom. Work started in early Feb and they finished early, in mid April. Awesome team of people, expertly managed by Kasia & JP - friendly, easy to deal with, they really help to make the whole thing manageable. We lived in the flat for most of the build and got to the know the team of tradesmen throughout the build. They did a superb job and we're really pleased - just be prepared to buy stuff quickly as they do not hang around - which is exactly what you want!

Comment from Visionary Lofts:

Rebecca, I am so in love with your bath in loft bedroom! Although, you were forced to have the bath in loft bathroom due to lack of space in the bathroom, it turned out to be an incredible idea with a fantastic result! I bet it is the most occupied spot in the entire house
Thank you and your partner for being such a great clients!

Visionary carried out a loft conversion on our property and we are very happy with the end result. From the outset JP provided us with an in-depth and detailed quotation and really took on board our thoughts and designs, something we felt was lacking with their competitors. Project management was very thorough throughout the build and Kasia or JP attended site daily to oversee the various trades. They were always available to take phone calls and a WhatsApp group for the project was particularly useful. All of their tradesmen were polite and friendly and we were comfortable with them working in our house. The project stayed on budget and any extras or upgrades were clearly documented. we would be very happy to recommend them.

We had a great experience for Visionary Lofts. They were super efficient and quality of the work was good. They were also very patient with the various design tweaks and detailing along the way! Kasia in tune with the minimal look we were after and great at explaining how we could achieve this. And her team were all friendly, very experienced and a pleasure to deal with. We entertained the architect/builder route as well as the usual loft companies in the area, but felt VL could offer a high quality result and a fair price. The workmanship on our new roof was particularly good. Thank you Kasia and JP!

Comment from Visionary Lofts:

Hi Alison, Can you believe that you first contacted us about your project in early 2018! It was really amazing to see this project through to completion. I think that the time you spent getting all those design details perfect was worth it as the end product really was fantastic. It is not always easy to build a loft for a design professional, but we found it really easy to work with you :) This project was a really great example of how early engagement of a contractor and collaborative working leads to successful project delivery.

From the start, Visionary lofts were very professional and organised. JP knew all about loft conversions in conservation areas and put us in touch with a really good architect who could maximise our space whilst still getting planning approval. The costings were also very transparent. Kasia was excellent to work with while the project was ongoing, she was very good at keeping us up to date in weekly meetings and by WhatsApp and also dealt well with a few issues such as difficult neighbours! We love our new loft bedroom and bathroom and would like to thank JP, Kasia and their team for all their hard work.

Visionary Lofts have been a breath of fresh air from start to finish in extending our loft and even accommodating a few extra pieces of work for us during the project. It's hard to articulate how different and much better our experience with VL was compared to other tradespeople/building firms we have worked with (or heard of). On reflection, we think three things really made the difference. First is that JP and Kasia genuinely seemed to care about our project for us, second they expect the very highest standards of their teams and third they operated and managed the project extremely professionally. Examples of things that made all the difference: - The thoughtfulness of suggestions to help with design choices, or manage around our logistics (with a young family), or getting back to us incredibly promptly on topics as they emerged. I can't stress how much it felt like VL really cared about our experience and how this project went for us. How refreshing!! - The quality of the work itself was great. For our project, VL clearly had access to a very skilled team of tradespeople who were extremely polite respectful and tidy on site. There were some challenging aspects like staircase reconfiguration but the quality of the craftsmanship and adaptability was excellent. - Weekly meetings with our project manager, with a proper agenda, supporting spreadsheets/documentation and close co-ordination with the building team. - VL operated with incredibly high integrity, openness and positivity throughout the project. Such a contrast to all the other builders we have worked with in the past. The long and short of it, is that we would very highly recommend VL to others. We are loving our new space as a family. We felt exceptionally lucky to find a building firm of this quality, professionalism and integrity. Thank you VL!

We have had a painless experience with Visionary Lofts. We were kept up to date with progress and expectations were made clear, which led to a smooth project being completed in 7 weeks. Our loft conversion was in Mitcham, close to Croydon so we have had a wide choice of different loft companies from South London. But what has stood out for us when dealing with Visionary Lofts was the clear communication during the initial contact and throughout the quoting process as well as the quote delivery. The same approach was carried out during the entire project, which we were very pleased with. Although it was impossible to keep the house dust-free during the building time, we found that each team member was respectful of our home and cleaned up after themselves, keeping everything in one area to minimise the disruption. This was a positive experience, very different to when we have had builders in our home in the past. Overall, we are very happy with the service provided by Visionary Lofts and we’ve recommended them to someone we know already!

Visionary Lofts did a very good job on our loft conversion. Workmen were of a very high standard, especially the plasterer. We had an unrelated leak in the roof afterwards and Kasia sent someone around immediately to fix it, even though it was nothing to do with them. We're very happy with our new loft.

We did our loft a little differently. We used a dedicated project manager for our home renovation project in Honor Oak / Forest Hill.….Visionary Lofts were chosen after careful consideration by my project manager. The quote was extremely competitive. They did the job in the exact timeframe agreed originally. The workmen were extremely skilled and got the job done at incredible speed to an exceptionally high standard. I really cannot fault them. JP was completely on the ball at all times and kept me updated with weekly progress. There were a few extra hidden costs (to do with the poor state of the house itself) which simply couldn’t have been predicted but it was handled with complete transparency and clear communication. I’m really impressed with this company and I would recommend them to anyone.

Hello thank you for the review, and your kind words, we hope you enjoy your new space. Kasia Lal, JP Lal and Ignas would like to say thier own words!

Having chain of people involved in communication and decisions making usually makes me nervous. But working with yourself and your project manager turned out to be incredibly smooth and efficient, allowing us to move with the work fast and complete your project on time, despite additional work that took us all by surprise. Enjoy your new loft space with the glass corner that will make the space even more special!
Kasia Lal, Operations Director

Sometimes when there are multiple parties involved on the client side decisions can take a long time to be approved. It was refreshing to work with a co-ordinated client team that were easily approachable. Quite a few unknowns were discovered during the course of this project but your architect, project manager and yourself were all happy to work with us to focus on finding solutions. I wish you all the best in your new home
JP Lal, Managing Director

As for tradesman on site where we had lots of alterations and repairs, most important thing was clients decisions. And decisions were made fast and adequate, and that helped us to do our work in time frame we were given. Great client equals great site.

From the start Kasia and JP went above and beyond to get our project up and running. We had a slightly difficult situation as we only own the upstairs flat of our building. This meant limited space to store waste and supplies. They found inventive and cost-effective Solutions and came at the problem with energy and enthusiasm. When the build started they hit the ground running, and continued until the end finishing on budget and ahead of schedule. The lack of problems experienced were testament to their good planning and hard work.

Hither Green South East London - Loft Conversion We chose Visionary Lofts to design and deliver a loft conversion for our terrace house, adding 2 bedrooms & 1 bathroom to the loft level. This was completed a few weeks ahead of schedule and to a high standard finish. There was excellent project management with regular progress updates and clear direction on what was required from us (e.g. what we needed to purchase within a certain timeframe). This made the experience much less stressful and we felt confident that VL had things under control. The pace and quality of work did not taper off toward the end of the project (as we have experienced with other contractors). Kasia, JP and the entire VL Team were highly experienced and friendly people. We appreciated their innovative advice on the loft structural design in order to maximise space and lighting. Also, they respected our house, kept it as tidy was possible, and really supported us to deliver a loft ASAP through what was a busy period for us with a newborn baby.

Although planning and party wall matters meant your project, Sarah, had a longer than usual lead in time, it also meant that we had plenty of time to plan and co-ordinate the project with you. I think that this is one of factors that allowed us to deliver your project so quickly!

We contacted Visionary Lofts following previous builders leaving us with bad experiences. From the offset they were professional and easy to deal with. JP came round to quote and gave us good advice and suggestions on how to make the best of our spaces. We ended up completely chasing our loft, adding a rear dormer, completely gutting our first floor and converting a bedroom to a walk through wardrobe and ensuite. We received the detailed quote within a week. To make sure we were comfortable using them they also facilitated conversations with other customers and also to view their work. We had a very clear picture of how they worked and their level of professionalism. Overall, I can’t rate Visionary Lofts, JP and Kasia highly enough. In the first 2 days of the project we discovered some structural challenges that set the project back, but they worked hard and had the works completed 1 week ahead of schedule in the end. If you want to work with professional, transparent builders who have an eye for detail and have you best interest at the heart of the project give JP and Kasia a call.

JP and Kasia did an amazing job with our loft conversion. Their knowledge and enthusiasm was apparent from the start and they really went the extra mile, even before we had chosen to appoint them! We had a few unexpected nuances with our building plans due to the age and layout of the house (and current building regs) but JP flagged all these in advance and researched solutions (sprinkler system solution he suggested saved us about £4k....) ahead of quoting so no nasty surprises - the budget process was completely transparent, well managed and didn't go over what we had planned. JP also took over the Buildings regs submission and PWA negotiations which I imagine saved us at least 3-4 weeks had we done it ourselves! Throughout the project we were regularly given updates on progress and what decisions were coming up, and JP & Kasia were always available and on call if needed. One of them was on site most days just to make sure everything ran smoothly, which wasn't an issue as all the contractors were really on the ball and delivered a quality finish. Turning your house into a building site isn't ideal with 2 small kids but the site was fully tidied and swept each day, all the tradesmen were popular with the kids, and the kids seemed to have latched on to Kasia as a second mum by the time the project was finished! Nothing bad to say - can only recommend them :-)

Visionary Lofts converted our loft space in autumn 2019. We chose to work with JP and Kasia, because of the competitive quote, their overall positive and genuine approach and because we felt we could trust them right from the start. Communication throughout the process (from the early stages of planning through the build, and then completion and snagging) was very good - clear and always quick to respond to any of our queries. JP and Kasia are clearly a great team - efficient and professional. Their team of tradesmen were always on site, punctual, polite, and the quality of the build is superb. We couldn’t be happier with our brand new master suite, and can highly recommend them. It has been a pleasure to get to know JP and Kasia. VL Team, if you ever decide to extend your portfolio to other building projects than lofts, do let us know.

Finding a suitable loft conversions company in Balham can be quite a challenge because there are so many options in South West London! We visited Visionary Lofts’ past work and spoke to a previous client. I recommend you do the same whoever you go with. We feel lucky we have got Visionary Lofts on board as our case was not straight forward as others might have been and their help and professionalism was beaming through out the entire process, making our lives easier. Initially we had planned to do a single mansard loft conversion and applied for planning permission from Lambeth Council. JP Lal spent plenty of time with us during the planning application process and appeal. This unfortunately did not go through so we have decided not to proceed with loft conversion at all but instead, the entire home went a total make over. Different options that we could and could not do meant that few different pricing models had to be done and JP Lal spent a great deal to deliver that. We actually did our home refurbishment whilst away from London and trusted Kasia Lal fully with the project! She kept us up to date with the progress and communicated clearly what is happening, what decisions we have to make and by when. When we came back we had pretty much no trades around, which we didn’t expect, but Visionary Lofts delivered the project far ahead of time. Overall we are happy with the outcome and the entire service and would recommend speaking to JP if you are considering a loft conversion in South London area.

Emma, it has been wonderful to work with clients who have allowed me to run the project while they were enjoying their -once in a lifetime- honeymoon! The initial conversations and preparations meant we were able to deliver with a great speed and have it all pretty much ready upon your arrival :D

It was a shame that Lambeth Council did not permit the mansard conversion that you were hoping for but the works that we did do has totally transformed the flat! So bright and so airy! The time we all invested upfront for this project paid off and allowed us to work away in your flat while you were on the other side of the world with no phone coverage! Thanks for trusting us with your project .

We had a great experience with Visionary Lofts. From start to finish Kasia, JP and the team were great to work with. Things kicked off with a really thorough initial meeting in which we discussed what it was we were after and we were presented with some great ideas from the outset. And it felty like Kasia really cared about understanding what we wanted. I'd had other people quote for the work and they didn't even bother to look around the house! Whereas with Kasia we felt at ease right away. Things went very smoothly once underway and the communication from the guys was fantastic. We could always speak to them when we needed to and we had weekly meetings to update on progress and what was going to happen over the following week. There were very few problems along the way. We did have one issue with the stairs but it was put right quickly, professionally and with minimal fuss as soon as the issue arose. All in all it was a fantastic experience with Visionary Lofts and I'd definitely recommend using them. They weren't the cheapest quote we had, but we felt so much more comfortable with them than anyone else and that certainly proved to be worth the small amount extra.

Thank you Ben for such a great review!
I am so pleased you were able to recognise that the cheapest quote does not equal cheapest build! We are all about great results and smooth, quick and as painless as possible project run!
I cannot tell you enough how great was to work with you both – thank you!
Oh, I hope your wife lets you also to enjoy the fabulous bath and the most incredible light that comes through the skylight!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Ben. I wasn’t sure about the skylight over the bath tub at first but it looks amazing now that all the finishing touches are done! Thanks for trusting us to deliver this project!

Visionary Team built with my loft conversion project. They adapted to my needs as I had my planning not approved by the council in the first place. They were supportive and professional at all times. They have the most amazing team who run around my family (two under 5 in school holidays) and finished on time. I am very happy and now I have the most amazing own suite with separated gaming area. I highly recommend them.

Visionary Lofts did my loft conversion in Peckham. They helped every stage of the process - from planning application to finish. The project was complete within the time scale planned and there were very few complications. Those that did arise were handled professionally by JP and Kasia, who were always very helpful and approachable, and quick to respond. My loft was quite a small project but the building works and plumbing were complete 6 weeks after scaffolding was erected. In general - very happy with the results and would strongly recommend.

Comment from Visionary Lofts:

Thank you Luke for putting your trust in us, especially that you were not able to be present during the build period and we had to rely purely on electronical communication. You have been very responsive and thanks to it we were able to complete the work within the 6 weeks. Although, who would have thought that the bath vs shower decision can be so hard
- Kasia Lal

On paper this was a straightforward dormer conversion, however as with most conversion projects there were some unexpected challenges that cropped up. As a client you were solution focused and had a collaborative ethos. This meant that the project was completed smoothly and on schedule despite these challenges coming up along the way. I hope you enjoy the new loft space Luke!

Kasia + JP + team completed a loft renovation for us and coordinated a basement conversion. They are the only building company we would ever recommend to friends. The highlights for us were: - They treat the project as if it were their own home from cleanliness, protecting the condition of our home to managing timescales around any circumstances (e.g. holidays, having young children around) - They really spend a lot of time providing a quote and if surprises come up as they often do in building works, they work with us to manage the budget and think of alternative solutions which can often be time consuming but they did this efficiently and successfully - Great communication: kept us up to date with progress, started a whatsapp chat group which was so useful as often days can be lost getting responses over the phone, passing on messages and with emails - Great control over the work of their teams: they check their team's progress and flag anything that isn't up to their standard (usually companies may wait for the customer to complain!) - The tradesmen used were all so polite, professional, hard-working and respectful. We couldn't fault any of them and were a pleasure to meet. Overall, it was such a positive experience for us. So much so that Kasia + JP feel like friends rather than a building company! Thanks so much to everyone at Visionary Lofts.

Rebecca, it was an enormous pleasure working with you and your husband on the loft conversion in your Balham home and we are still totally in love with the space created. So much so, that we’ve shared the images of both the bedroom and bathroom with everyone we can. We hope you get to enjoy your stunning loft.

Visionary Lofts recently completed our first floor extension and we could not of asked for a better standard of work and professionalism from their amazing team. Our Edwardian two story flat is already built into the roof so we didn't have a loft extension as an option. We have two children approaching teenagers so we really needed to turn our two bedroom flat into three so the boys could have their own rooms. The only option was a small space extending out on our first floor & above our downstairs neighbors bathroom (with her consent) After the second planning application was approved we set about looking for a company to help us achieve this. We had site visits and quotes from many companies before we made our decision. From the first meeting and site visit with JP and Marius (Visionary's project manager) they were by far the most professional. They took their time to think about every detail and gave us realistic advice on what could be achieved. They were patient with any changes and requests and nothing was too much trouble. There was great communication and we were always kept up to date with what would be happening next & any questions we had were answered. On Saturday's Kasia would come for a meeting to summarise the work completed the schedule of the week ahead which was really helpful. Their team of highly skilled workmen were always on time and cracked on with the job to a very high standard always leaving the area clean after work was completed and hardly stopping for the tea and biscuits I was constantly offering them! With all the building nightmare's you hear about we never dreamed it could all go so smoothly- and like us many of our neighbors who watched the work in progress could not believe how quickly the build was completed. It's great to use a local company based in West Norwood and couldn't recommend Visionary Lofts team enough .

Hello Natacha, the team here at Visionary would like to say thank you, it was a pleasure working with you :) JP, Kasia and Marius would like to say thier own words:

"It was a real pleasure to deliver this project for your family and you Natacha. Prompt with payments, quick at making decisions and
understanding when things out of our control (like adverse weather conditions) prevent us from working. Couldn’t ask for anything more from a client "
JP Lal, Managing Director

"Natacha, there was such a great team vibe and understanding with you, it was a great pleasure working WITH you. I hope your family enjoy the new space.
Such a smoothly delivered loft project in only 7 weeks could only happen with clients like yourselves who had a great understanding of the project and made decisions cooperatively for an effective and timely build. "
Kasia Lal, Operations Director

"The changes were really not too much trouble, Natasha, thank you for your feedback. I was in a special case here where I was only really able to adapt to the changes along the way, including changes to size and colour of new window because you and JP had negotiated enough of contingency for such things, the project was smooth sailing."
Marius, PM

Thank you Natacha,
Visionary Lofts,
London

Kasia and JP ,the visionaries behind Visionary Lofts were an absolute pleasure to work with . They gave us two spacious new rooms incorporating clever storage space and french windows, as well as a beautifully designed bathroom . It was genuinely an exciting and very smooth process .They have a close in house team of builders, electricians etc who were ALL considerate and actually nice to have around .18 months on and I have no complaints what so ever. I only wish they also built ponds and did kitchen extensions ! (Kasia has a very good eye....so maybe one day)

We cannot recommend Visionary Lifts highly enough. Right from the initial consultation phase JP and Kasia have been fully engaged with the process. They have both been responsive and thoughtful in their communications and their attention to detail is phenomenal. Any issues that arose were picked up and dealt with swiftly and always with a range of solutions for us to choose from. Every week we met with Kasia (who will project manage) and these meetings were minuted and outlined the weeks work and the schedule for the coming weeks. Every trades person who came to our home were courteous, neat and tidy and of the highest quality. Most remarkably of all Visionary Lofts kept bang on schedule for the whole build. Visionary Lofts will not be the cheapest, but they will give you the best work you could hope for. Again I can not recommend them highly enough. Thanks to them we now have the most beautiful new home.

Hi Matt - Thank you so much for your feedback of your experiences. It is fantastic to see that you have really picked up on the areas that we really focus on excelling at. The whole team really enjoyed working on your project. Discrepancies between your architects design and the actual site conditions meant that we had to carry out a lot of on site design work on your project. We really did value your collaborative approach when these issues did crop up as it really energizes us to work that extra bit harder to deliver outstanding service to you. Looking forward to working with you on your next building project ;)

I've had a fantastic experience with Visionary Lofts. Initially they provided me with a broad range of advice, experience and feedback. This progressed to the management and delivery of my project to my budget and time constraints. I felt that I could raise any issues or concerns promptly. The tradesmen they employ to be very respectful with an attention to detail. In my case Visionary Lofts over delivered. The renovation space ended up being larger, brighter and more functional than planned. I can't thank them enough! I would not hesitate to recommend them (:

I couldn’t recommend Visionary Lofts more highly. We worked with them to complete an L shaped loft conversion in January 2019 and we could not be happier with the results. JP and Kasia were fantastic to work with. They worked with you to understand what you wanted to achieve, and bring it to life. Their communication was super clear, they were all over all the details, and nothing was too much trouble. The guys on site were also fantastic. Hugely hard working and respectful of your space .... we really enjoyed having them around :-) Our project finished early and within an acceptable budget thanks to Visionary’s sensible approach to extra costing and tracking .... there no no surprises. We were absolutely delighted and would work with them again in a flash.

Visionary Lofts did a loft conversion plus new floors, doors and radiators throughout the house. JP and Kasia were a pleasure to deal with, friendly and professional. The project was finished on time and on budget to a high standard. The team was easy to deal with throughout, and changes we wanted to the spec mid-project were easily incorporated. It was their first big project so we took our time to get comfortable with their business, and were pleased we did. They also left a few really nice finishing touches that we hadn't expected, and the cleaning after the project was very good. Would be very happy to recommend them

Kasia and JP are a fantastic team and a joy to work with. They did our loft extension in London on time, on budget and to an incredibly high standard. During the process of the project, they recommended a number of fantastic suppliers in the area to do our carpentry, painting and carpets. It was a real team effort between myself and my partner and the Visionary lofts team, who took us through the process of the project each week - they really care about their clients. They were were always professional, timely and contactable. Whilst on site they were respectful that they were working in our home, as were all of the larger team and suppliers. I cannot believe that building companies like this actually exist. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for building our dream home.

Hello Harriet, thank you, really kind of your to say that, thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback too. Kasia and JP wanted to write back to you:

Thank you for your kind words
It has been a real pleasure to work with you both! Having a clearly split responsibilities between yourselves meant that the building and finishing process went without bigger issues and with a great speed. I am so glad you both decided to drop the ceilings as now the loft bedroom looks very spacious!

It was a pleasure to work with you. You are an ideal client! Although we were in conversation for about a year whilst planning was being approved it was only four weeks from us providing you with a quote to starting works. This was only possible because of a great working relationship and a client that is quick to make decisions! Thanks again for choosing us to deliver your project
