Loft Conversion Contractors

And making the right choice could make the difference between enjoying a great new addition to your property or being left with a botched job, headache and regrets at having started the whole project in the first place.

The first rule with choosing your loft conversion builders is to ensure that make your choice from a number of companies.

Never pick the first builder that comes along and get a quote from at least three contractors.

Of course the thing to remember here is that the cheapest quote isn’t necessarily the best.

But what factors should you use to pick the right builders for your job?

Word of Mouth

Forget cheesy sales patter and flashy adverts in the yellow pages the best advertisement for any business is a personal recommendation from previous customers.

With the building trade having such a diverse range of companies from the great to the awful word of mouth recommendations are very important.

If a customer is happy enough to provide a builder with a testimonial you can be confident that they did a very good job.

But, you don’t have to be satisfied with just written recommendations ask to actually see previous work.

Many loft conversion contractors have agreements with previous clients that will allow them to actually show you finished conversions.

If a friend or neighbour has had their loft converted ask them about the builder.

If they give him a glowing report then get in touch and ask him to give you a quote for your project.

Professional Bodies

Membership of professional bodies such as the Federation of Master Builders doesn’t automatically mean that building company is beyond reproach and have been had their work vetted.

However, it does sometimes provide reassurance to the customer in that they do provide insurance policies in case of poor work. Ask the builder about this.

Membership of the trade organisation ‘Constructionline’ is a good sign as the building company do need to go through a qualification process to be eligible to join, though again don’t take this as absolute proof that the firm is perfect.

Insurance

Don’t under estimate the importance of your loft conversion contractors carrying the correct public liability insurance. Ask to see proof of their cover.

If their insurance isn’t valid and there is accident on site, an injury to a member of the public or damage to neighbouring property you will be held at least partly liable to pay compensation.
