General Project FAQs- Alan Loft

What if there is a problem midway through my project?

We prioritise transparency in your project, maintaining ongoing communication. Should any issues arise, we’ll promptly inform you. If adjustments to project scope, timeline, or cost are necessary, we’ll schedule a detailed meeting to discuss. Our adept team excels in problem-solving, striving to swiftly and minimally disruptively resolve any challenges that arise.

Can you source all the required materials for my project?

Collaborating with numerous reputable suppliers enables us to procure all necessary materials to actualize your vision. This streamlines your experience and guarantees the utilisation of top-quality materials and products for your project.

Can you help me with the design process?

Our team is readily available to offer guidance at each stage of your journey, starting from the initial designs. We can schedule a meeting to review your needs, budget, and property particulars, and then assist you in exploring the array of options at your disposal.

Will I need to hire a project manager for my project?

With our extensive expertise across all construction domains, there’s no need to hire a project manager separately. We have seasoned professionals in-house to manage all logistics, overseeing every stage, maintaining team organization, and ensuring timely completion.

Do I need architectural drawings before contacting you?

While some clients engage architects before us, it’s not required. If you have ideas but no plans, we offer professional architect services to initiate the process. By listening to your vision, often during a site visit, we advise on the best approach and create sophisticated CAD drawings. Similarly, for those with existing architectural plans, we bring them to life seamlessly.

Will I need to hire any more external traders for my project?

At Alan Loft Conversions, all project tasks are handled by our proficient in-house experts. We aim to offer clients comprehensive contracts, guaranteeing that every aspect of their project can be managed by us, from initial planning to final touches like electrical work, decorating, and interior design.

Will I need planning permission for my project?

Factors like your location, property type, and project scale determine the need for planning permission. Typically, larger projects, like complete renovations or new constructions, require it. We advise clients to consult local authorities for approval. We’re here to assist you through this process for a smoother approval journey.

Will the price that you quote definitely be the price that I pay?

We operate on a fixed price model, ensuring that the agreed-upon quotation remains unchanged unless additional add-ons are introduced mid-project. Should you opt to include extra work, we’ll schedule a meeting to discuss these adjustments and provide a revised quote. There should never be any unexpected expenses along the way.

Can I add extra work to my project midway?

Certainly, our quotes include a comprehensive list of available add-ons. Should you wish to incorporate additional services during the project, we’ll gladly arrange a meeting to discuss and adjust the scope accordingly, ensuring transparency in the final quote.

Do I have to pay a deposit for my project?

Once your project has been quoted and the contract finalised, we will request a 20% deposit. This deposit is necessary to allocate resources, order essential materials and plants, as well as long-lead items for the project.

The best in the business a 2 bedroom loft conversion and the whole of my house K rendered in under 6 weeks with amazing finishing and not a inch of space left for any complaints. Truly a great team I would recommend to any and everyone.

We’ve recently had a loft conversion and a double side extension completed by the team and we are extremely happy with the work and process as a whole. With such a large project and with my family and I remaining on site throughout, the team worked hard to complete the work on time and to a very high standard. Every question was answered in a timely manner, plans were discussed in detail and helpful ideas and suggestions were made when we were unsure - even when we changed our minds about things, nothing was ever too much trouble. Our home has been transformed and we now have a beautiful space we can enjoy for many years. Thank you so much for your hard work - highly recommended!

Excellent workmanship of the highest quality. These guys really are amazing. They performed a complete rebuild creating my dream kitchen. The level of detail was exceptional. Having used many other builders over the years. I can honestly say these guys are on another level for attention to detail, speed and efficiency. I’m saving for my next project as we speak. Happy to host an open house to show off my dream kitchen any time boys.

Albert and the team was very professional from beginning to the end of our project. They cleaned after themselves everyday and always left the place very tidy and clean. Albert has different experts in his team like painters , tilers and plumbers and every one worked to very high standards. Everyone was very friendly and nice to deal with . Albert communicated with us very clearly and we always knew where we are with the project. He always answered my phone calls and answered all my questions. My loft conversion was finished 1 week head of schedule which I was really happy about. We are extremely happy with the end result and highly recommend Alan loft conversions to everyone.

Albert managed the loft conversion with dormer for us from start to finish and he and his team did a fabulous job. He explained everything that would happen and when each part of the build would start. As we were working from home he tried his best to keep the disruption to a minimum. He and his team worked so hard and completed it in less time than I expected. He suggested different ideas to make the space and the finish look better. He kept checking me with to make sure we were happy. They cleaned up after they finished every evening. The loft is now a beautiful bedroom with and en-suite which we have received to so many compliments. He made sure we were happy with everything and anything extra that we wanted he accommodated. I would definitely recommend Alan loft conversion and will use him again for the kitchen.

*** due to privacy I prefer not to show images on public domain though I give permission to the company to share images of their work in my house when requested*** Albert is the owner and he managed the whole project. As with all new builders we needed to take time to know him but he is extremely trust worthy now that we worked with him. He is fair and helpful and goes over and above to make his customers happy. His workers are kept under timely manner and budget and they respect him which is important. He has chosen a bunch of very talented guys to do work for him. If you're not happy he makes a point to tell his boys off if need be. He answers the phone immediately, any query you have he is on it. He passed by our home several times to view the progress and ran for all permissions and paperwork. They are our lifelong go-to guys. Once you find them, hold them tight! I couldn't recommend them more, I have no words of how great the team is. Thank you for making our home special.

Alan Loft Conversions recently completed work - remodelling the kitchen and extending into the loft at my small, three bedroom terraced house. I can not recommend them more highly! Albert does exactly what he says he will do in the time he has allocated to the project. He is a force of nature and works at a super speed, totally organised and employing a professional and hard working crew. He sorted out a surveyor, drawings, and liaising with building regulations until completion. I have a beautiful well built loft space, guaranteed for 10 years and all at a very competitive price. Thanks Albert!
