Welcome To Dulwich Loft Conversions
We have been operating now for over ten years and have completed over 100 loft conversions. Where we often stand out is that many of the team have working for DLC since the very days, and have stayed with the company. Of course this builds a bond between the tradesmen and a form of common interest in getting the job done to the very best of their potential. Among our ranks we have men who have devoted their careers to their trade – master builders, joiners, roofers, architects and electricians – all of these make for a complete service spanning the entire duration of the works.
However we’re not just a bunch of old duffers! We are active in offering young locals the chance to learn a trade while they work, and thanks to the expertise of the professionals many of them have gone on and done well.
Absolutely. The architects are part of the team and match up to the quality of the rest of the team. They are all associated with or members of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Everyone wants to get started as soon as we’re given the green light, but it can take a little time to receive all the documents and paperwork needed for a loft conversion. As a rough rule, work can usually start within 6-8 weeks or so.
It’s quite likely that you will need planning permission from the local authority. We take care all of this on your behalf, including liaising with building control.
This document means that the work planned has been met with all the official permissions and may now legally begin. Strange as it may sound, they aren’t actually necessary; but we recommend them as failure to provide the document can knock value off the property. They make sense to apply for and can also be useful should there be any planning issues during the construction.
Generally speaking, we try to place the new staircase in a position where it won’t overtake the landing. We will always find out your preference before installing the staircase.
Yes it can. We are approved to work throughout the year; and part of building a loft conversion is carried out inside.
This will depend upon the make and age of the currently installed fuse box. Regulations have been tightened over the quality and capacity of fuse boxes in the home and their ability to power the house satisfactorily. Only an examination of the fuse box will determine this, and if it fails to make these standards, it will need to be replaced.
Again this will depend on what’s in place. While the restrictions aren’t as severe as with fuse boxes, the boiler needs to have sufficient capacity to supply water – and it may struggle for water pressure/reliable hot water. We can review this for you during an early inspection.
We’re not afraid to say that we’re the best loft conversion team out there and we take customer service exceedingly seriously. If our customer is happy then it makes every part of the process more straightforward, this is why we place great parley on keeping you updated and informed. To help our clients do this we have a cutting edge customer service section on our website that allows clients to log in and check the progress of their work. It’s a treasure chest of information and resources that is a must visit for anyone planning a loft conversion.
Our project managers will be sure to be in touch with you once or twice a week to keep you updated on the work’s progress. When the site is in progress they will ensure that everything matches the quality that we expect from Dulwich Loft Conversions.
Naturally this depends upon the specifics of the property, and can be help up by paperwork and permits should the building officer and/or planners have any queries. Yet as an approximate figure 6-12 weeks is about right for all but the very large/complex loft conversions. Remember that it’s not just about bricks and mortar – there fittings, floors, stairs, water and electric to set up too.
The good news is not as much as you might expect. There’s no need whatsoever to move out of the property while works are being performed. We strive to prevent disruption, dust and noise as far as humanly possible but there will invariably be a little. The good news is that the early stages of the project are performed exclusively outdoors, so any disruption inside the home will only be for a comparative fraction of the time it takes to complete.
