• Anyone had a standard loft conversion (Victorian terrace, max size available under PD so two rooms and an en-suite, no fancy finishes, windows, etc) and able to share a rough all-in cost?

    @Brun did you find anyone to do yours? Is the roof terrace going to cover all the outrigger roof or will it be two rooms plus the roof terrace?

  • My friends have just completed theirs in E17, done by Bespoke Lofts; double dormer with en-suite, basic finishes, cold roof with felt etc. Cost ~£90K.

  • I genuinely cannot understand how they get away with charging 90 grand.

    The materials are about 15 to 20k give or take including the wood, cladding and steel. Add 5k in professional fees, building control and plans.

    These L shapes take about 5 to 8 weeks. 4 blokes on 200 quid or so a day every day is 800 notes wages a week. Call it a grand. Thats 8k in wages for them to screw it together. Call it 18k with basic windows and the roof and the scaffolding, 5 days of electrical work and the same of plumbing. Call it 20k with tiling.

    Where does the other 50 grand go?

  • Ive got Bespoke doing a single Dormer at mine right now, basic finish is about 65, including the vat. We supply bathroom.
