Visionary Lofts - Loft Conversion Specialist in London

I was planning to carry out a loft conversion and full refurbishment to my home in Balham, South West London and after I obtained planning permission from the borough of Wandsworth I contacted a variety of contractors, including Visionary Lofts, to help me understand how much my loft conversion will cost. I found the quotation process with Visionary Lofts to be extremely thorough, efficient, transparent and personable with a lot of time spent from JP understanding the various costs involved and changes that could be made, so I could end up with a bespoke quote that works for me. JP provided the most transparent and easiest to understand quote of everybody I spoke to.I also met Kasia on one of their Loft conversion projects in Balham and found this very useful to get an idea of what the build will be like in reality, as well as meet Kasia in advance of committing to the build.Overall I have been massively impressed with Visionary Loft’s attitude and efficiency in getting me to this stage with my loft conversion and would highly recommend them to anybody considering work on their house. I’m excited to get working with JP and Kasia on the build now! More...

Visionary Lofts did my loft conversion in Peckham. They helped every stage of the process - from planning application to finish. The project was complete within the time scale planned and there were very few complications. Those that did arise were handled professionally by JP and Kasia, who were always very helpful and approachable, and quick to respond. My loft was quite a small project but the building works and plumbing were complete 6 weeks after scaffolding was erected. In general - very happy with the results and would strongly recommend.

Finding a suitable loft conversions company in Balham can be quite a challenge because there are so many options in South West London! We visited Visionary Lofts’ past work and spoke to a previous client. I recommend you do the same whoever you go with. We feel lucky we have got Visionary Lofts on board as our case was not straight forward as others might have been and their help and professionalism was beaming through out the entire process, making our lives easier. Initially we had planned to do a single mansard loft conversion and applied for planning permission from Lambeth Council. JP Lal spent plenty of time with us during the planning application process and appeal. This unfortunately did not go through so we have decided not to proceed with loft conversion at all but instead, the entire home went a total make over. Different options that we could and could not do meant that few different pricing models had to be done and JP Lal spent a great deal to deliver that. We actually did our home refurbishment whilst away from London and trusted Kasia Lal fully with the project! She kept us up to date with the progress and communicated clearly what is happening, what decisions we have to make and by when. When we came back we had pretty much no trades around, which we didn’t expect, but Visionary Lofts delivered the project far ahead of time. Overall we are happy with the outcome and the entire service and would recommend speaking to JP if you are considering a loft conversion in South London area. More...

We had a great experience with Visionary Lofts. From start to finish Kasia, JP and the team were great to work with. Things kicked off with a really thorough initial meeting in which we discussed what it was we were after and we were presented with some great ideas from the outset. And it felty like Kasia really cared about understanding what we wanted. I'd had other people quote for the work and they didn't even bother to look around the house! Whereas with Kasia we felt at ease right away.Things went very smoothly once underway and the communication from the guys was fantastic. We could always speak to them when we needed to and we had weekly meetings to update on progress and what was going to happen over the following week. There were very few problems along the way. We did have one issue with the stairs but it was put right quickly, professionally and with minimal fuss as soon as the issue arose.All in all it was a fantastic experience with Visionary Lofts and I'd definitely recommend using them. They weren't the cheapest quote we had, but we felt so much more comfortable with them than anyone else and that certainly proved to be worth the small amount extra. More...

We wanted a loft conversion in our home in Tooting, South West London. Once we had planning permission approved from Wandsworth we met a number of firms.

We contacted Visionary Lofts following previous builders leaving us with bad experiences. From the offset they were professional and easy to deal with. JP came round to quote and gave us good advice and suggestions on how to make the best of our spaces. We ended up completely chasing our loft, adding a rear dormer, completely gutting our first floor and converting a bedroom to a walk through wardrobe and ensuite. We received the detailed quote within a week.To make sure we were comfortable using them they also facilitated conversations with other customers and also to view their work. We had a very clear picture of how they worked and their level of professionalism.Overall, I can’t rate Visionary Lofts, JP and Kasia highly enough. In the first 2 days of the project we discovered some structural challenges that set the project back, but they worked hard and had the works completed 1 week ahead of schedule in the end. If you want to work with professional, transparent builders who have an eye for detail and have you best interest at the heart of the project give JP and Kasia a call. More...

We have had a painless experience with Visionary Lofts. We were kept up to date with progress and expectations were made clear, which led to a smooth project being completed in 7 weeks. Our loft conversion was in Mitcham, close to Croydon so we have had a wide choice of different loft companies from South London. But what has stood out for us when dealing with Visionary Lofts was the clear communication during the initial contact and throughout the quoting process as well as the quote delivery. The same approach was carried out during the entire project, which we were very pleased with. Although it was impossible to keep the house dust-free during the building time, we found that each team member was respectful of our home and cleaned up after themselves, keeping everything in one area to minimise the disruption. This was a positive experience, very different to when we have had builders in our home in the past.Overall, we are very happy with the service provided by Visionary Lofts and we’ve recommended them to someone we know already!

I worked as a Project Manager for VL, I managed their loft conversions in South London, under Kasia Lal who was operations director. It was a delight working with JP Lal and Kasia Lal, they have a professional and flexible approach. It’s the synergy and effort they both put in which really underpinned the success of the working relationship and its probably that which fuels their abundant approach to business and personal success. I worked on loft conversions in Balham mainly, also did some lofts in Clapham. Definitely recommend working for VL if you want to grow and stretch! More...

The standard of work is fantastic and the properties look amazing. Our experience directly from a professional point of view the interactions with Visionary Lofts have been friendly and professional. They keep us updated throughout the process so that the flooring is installed at the correct stage and work closely with us so that the builders prep the subfloor to a good standard ensuring a quick and easy finish, with little disruption for the clients’. We have included a few pictures of works completed for Visionary Lofts, including staircases etc. More...

We did our loft a little differently. We used a dedicated project manager for our home renovation project in Honor Oak / Forest Hill. ….Visionary Lofts were chosen after careful consideration by my project manager. The quote was extremely competitive. They did the job in the exact timeframe agreed originally. The workmen were extremely skilled and got the job done at incredible speed to an exceptionally high standard. I really cannot fault them. JP was completely on the ball at all times and kept me updated with weekly progress. There were a few extra hidden costs (to do with the poor state of the house itself) which simply couldn’t have been predicted but it was handled with complete transparency and clear communication. I’m really impressed with this company and I would recommend them to anyone. More...

Visionary Lofts recently completed our first floor extension and we could not of asked for a better standard of work and professionalism from their amazing team. Our Edwardian two story flat is already built into the roof so we didn't have a loft extension as an option. We have two children approaching teenagers so we really needed to turn our two bedroom flat into three so the boys could have their own rooms. The only option was a small space extending out on our first floor & above our downstairs neighbours bathroom (with her consent) After the second planning application was approved we set about looking for a company to help us achieve this. We had site visits and quotes from many companies before we made our decision. From the first meeting and site visit with JP and Marius (Visionary's project manager) they were by far the most professional. They took their time to think about every detail and gave us realistic advice on what could be achieved. They were patient with any changes and requests and nothing was too much trouble. There was great communication and we were always kept up to date with what would be happening next & any questions we had were answered. On Saturday's Kasia would come for a meeting to summarise the work compleated the schedule of the week ahead which was really helpful. Their team of highly skilled workmen were always on time and cracked on with the job to a very high standard always leaving the area clean after work was completed and hardly stopping for the tea and biscuits I was constantly offering them! With all the building nightmare's you hear about we never dreamed it could all go so smoothly- and like us many of our neighbours who watched the work in progress could not believe how quickly the build was completed. It's great to use a local company based in West Norwood and couldn't recommend Visionary Lofts team enough . More...

Hither Green South East London - Loft ConversionWe chose Visionary Lofts to design and deliver a loft conversion for our terrace house, adding 2 bedrooms & 1 bathroom to the loft level. This was completed a few weeks ahead of schedule and to a high standard finish. There was excellent project management with regular progress updates and clear direction on what was required from us (e.g. what we needed to purchase within a certain timeframe). This made the experience much less stressful and we felt confident that VL had things under control. The pace and quality of work did not taper off toward the end of the project (as we have experienced with other contractors). Kasia, JP and the entire VL Team were highly experienced and friendly people. We appreciated their innovative advice on the loft structural design in order to maximise space and lighting. Also, they respected our house, kept it as tidy was possible, and really supported us to deliver a loft ASAP through what was a busy period for us with a newborn baby. More...

Kasia + JP + team completed a loft renovation for us and coordinated a basement conversion. They are the only building company we would ever recommend to friends. The highlights for us were:

- They treat the project as if it were their own home from cleanliness, protecting the condition of our home to managing timescales around any circumstances (e.g. holidays, having young children around)

- They really spend a lot of time providing a quote and if surprises come up as they often do in building works, they work with us to manage the budget and think of alternative solutions which can often be time consuming but they did this efficiently and successfully

- Great communication: kept us up to date with progress, started a whatsapp chat group which was so useful as often days can be lost getting responses over the phone, passing on messages and with emails

- Great control over the work of their teams: they check their team's progress and flag anything that isn't up to their standard (usually companies may wait for the customer to complain!)

- The tradesmen used were all so polite, professional, hard-working and respectful. We couldn't fault any of them and were a pleasure to meet.

Overall, it was such a positive experience for us. So much so that Kasia + JP feel like friends rather than a building company! Thanks so much to everyone at Visionary Lofts. More...
