As London loft conversion specialists, we are sometimes called upon to complete renovations other companies have started, as was the case with this homeowner’s loft conversion in Bow. With the previous contractor struggling to finish due to the complexity of the build, we stepped in to complete the attic extension.
Our client was apprehensive about appointing a new contractor following her previous experience, however, we assured her we would rectify any issues and finish her loft conversion to an even higher standard.
"“I’m so thankful Absolute Lofts came in and salvaged the loft conversion. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them.”"
Dianne, Homeowner
To complement the period home, a traditional style stairwell was constructed leading to the new floor. Upon entering you’re greeted with a light, airy double bedroom, and just a step away, a sizeable modern shower room.
As with lots of London homes space is at a premium, so our homeowner was keen maximise every inch. As well as maintaining high ceilings to give a light, open feel, we ensured the space had copious storage.
One of the main ways we did this was by designing and installing custom fitted wardrobes around the walkway. Slotted into the wall recess, so as not to absorb valuable floor space, the bespoke cupboards provide plenty of space for clothes and other items. Painting them a pale colour helps reflect light, giving the illusion of more space.
Situated in Bow, a borough known for its charming Georgian and Victorian terraces, care was taken to maintain the home’s character throughout. As well as ensuring the Mansard roof extension blended with other properties by using similar materials, we installed double glazed sash windows, preserving its traditional appearance.
Although set in a historic building, the new loft floor has all the comforts of modern living. The shower room was designed to replicate a boutique hotel bathroom, featuring an elegant gold shower enclosure and vanity unit. Bold, blue wall tiles and brushed gold accessories add a splash of colour to the surroundings.
Our client was thrilled with how the loft conversion turned out and how quickly our team rectified issues left by the previous contractor. If you’re unhappy with how your attic or loft extension is going, give our loft experts a call today.
