Rear Dormer Loft Conversion – Bentley Drive Church Langley
Project Overview
- Location: Essex
- Property: End-of-terrace
- Conversion Type: Rear Dormer
- Rooms: Three
- Time Taken: Five Weeks
This is the first major building work we have ever had done and weren’t really sure what to expect (or where to start). We thought there may be a lot of disruption and a lot of headaches from the outset. How wrong were we?
When we first approached Garnet Construction for a quote we had already had several visits from various companies / builders. What made Garnet different were they were the only ones who took the time to listen to exactly what we wanted before submitting their quote so when we got it through, it wasn’t a ball park figure, it was a detailed specification so we all knew where we stood from start. From arranging the plans, helping with the party wall to advising on plug sockets – everything was covered.
Needless to say, Garnet Construction were instructed to convert our loft into 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
The whole job was finished in just over 3 weeks. Access to the loft via the house was limited to the last week once the stairs were in so apart from the noise and scaffolding, there was no disruption to our day to day living. This was the part that suprised us the most.
The builders were at our house on time every morning and didn’t leave until they had done what they had set or to do each day. The scaffolders, roofers, plumbers and electricians were all friendly, professional and turned up when they said they would. We opted to do some decorations ourselves and Garnet Construction would try their best to plan around this which made things a lot easier for us.
We would thoroughly recommend this company for any building works and hope they will soon be able to build our extension in the near future.
A truly professional firm. It was almost a pleasure!
