Loft Tips

Loft Conversion Advice And Essential Tips

Aztec Lofts will check with your local authority regarding planning and building regulations and report back to you.

Ideally you want to find a builder that is recommended by a friend, Facebook or Instagram. That way you can personally inspect the work that they have carried out.

It is essential that the work can be carried out at the client’s convenience and comfort.

Obtain at least three quotations and be very clear about what your expectations and requirements are.

Request a guarantee for the work that will be carried out. At Aztech Lofts all of our conversion comes with a five year guarantee.

Agree stage payments in line with actual progress made. Do not pay a deposit before the work starts.

If you are asking more than one builder to quote, ensure they are quoting for exactly the same things.

Try and avoid making changes part of the way through the contract. This can turn out to be rather expensive. If any changes are required record them as you go.

If you are unhappy or any problems arise, speak to the builder immediately.

I approached Aztech for a loft conversion quote and they came promptly and quoted quickly. Their quote was the lowest but, unfortunately, they were in great demand and it would be 6 months before they could begin. That's the only reason we didn't book them. 2024 UPDATE. We contacted them again because our chosen builder cancelled. Aztech requoted and agreed to take on the job. Again, due to their commitments, we had to wait several months but they started the work in June 2022. It soon emerged that our architect had made a serious miscalculation which made the job significantly bigger. Aztech gave a fair quote for the extra work but had to complete the job over several months rather than several weeks. They did a great job, though. They employed skilled and pleasant joiners, plumbers, electricians and roofers. Since completion, they've come back to fix a problem with a couple of roof slates under warranty. We'd employ them again.

Absolutely delighted with the result of the loft conversion & 1st floor bedroom-to-ensuite conversion which was done by Aztech. Ross and his team were a pleasure to have working in our home. They all have a (rare!) can-do attitude and put our needs/wants foremost. They were tidy, polite, quite and hardworking. They accomodated and recommended changes along the way which improved the overall build and took on the extra work we offered. Given the size of the project, there were only a few trivial snags which Ross and his team fixed immediately. House just as insulated as before - see photo of our house Vs neighbours. The whole project was delivered within budget and on happy terms. Thanks again for a job well done!

My 2 children have been living in our loft conversion for just under a year. I can honestly say it is the best money we have ever spent. Ross and the team were great throughout. Everyone came exactly when they said they were coming. Using Aztech completely took away the stress that usually comes with any building work. I have had 2 very small issues in the past year and Ross has sent someone to fix them within 2 days. My only regret is not doing it sooner. We have 2 fantastic bedrooms and a full bathroom up there - perfect for teenagers. I was really worried that the loft would be too hot in summer and cold in winter but it is exactly the same as the rest of the house, in fact through summer it was the coolest place in the house. Thanks Aztech.

We recently had the pleasure of Aztech Lofts carrying out our loft conversion, and we must say, their work exceeded our expectations. The team showcased exceptional efficiency, professionalism, and honesty throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final result, every step was marked by their commitment to quality. The finished loft is a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. Without a doubt, Aztech Lofts has proven to be a reliable choice for which we highly recommend.

Quick and responsive to any questions during the planning. Team on site very polite and keen to ensure everything done to my satisfaction. Highly recommended.

Ross and the Aztech team did a great job on our dormer loft in summer 2022. We added an additional bathroom and reconfigured the first floor to create a study. The bedroom in the dormer has bespoke storage. Our property is small, but the design has made great use of available space. The work was completed in good time with only a couple of minor delays. We have been very happy with the finish and quality of everything and most people coming into the house comment very positively (including other tradespeople). The team were very professional with clean up after every day and were tried to disturb us minimally while we worked from home. They were also happy to discuss the work and answer questions and make helpful suggestions. Ross had regular catch up calls and visited at key stages of the project to talk things through. Minimal snagging (some is to be expected) and problems corrected without fuss. Friends have also used Aztech and had good experiences and I have recommended them to colleagues looking for similar work.

Completely satisfied with the outcome of my loft conversion, rear dormer, en-suite bathroom and re-roof carried out by Aztech in the spring of 2022. We received an extremely professional service from all of the trade personnel and Ross kept us extremely well briefed thoughout, always on hand to pick up any queries and solve any issues that cropped up. The work took longer than expected, which would be my only gripe, but if you're looking for quality workmanship, a professional and friendly service, at a competitive price, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aztech Loft Rooms & Builders.

Aztech loft rooms completely gutted our attic which had not been touched for 170 years! They removed loads of debris, rubble, tanks, wood, metal etc and then boarded the whole loft and added 3 velux windows, a new door to the roof and a new trap access door. They worked tirelessly and were polite and nothing was too much trouble. I strongly recommend them and will be using them again.
