• Would anyone here both getting an architect for a loft conversion or just use a loft conversion company?

    Am buying a 1920s semi and would like to do the loft - trying to work out likely costs / process. Would obviously like it to look great but imagine that the architect route would end up more expensive - which leads to the great ‘is it worth it’ question! Am keen for it to look nicer than many of the ‘dormer box plunked on top’ ones you see, but at what cost…

  • I used an all in one company. Architect wasn't great at coming up with plans himself but once I said exactly what I wanted and referenced other plans it was fine.

    It was a generic box from the outside though and if I'd wanted something unique I probably would have gone with my own architect. Just didn't feel it was worth it for an outside that I'd rarely see though

  • Interesting, thanks - I guess even generic box on the outside could have zinc cladding or similar to make it look a bit better, if I want to fork out?

    Do you mind me asking which company - London based?
