We finally managed, after weeks and weeks of painting to move up to the loft the week before Christmas. We are absolutely delighted with the end result. A huge thank you to you and your professional team for making the whole project a smooth and quick process.
All of the tradesman were excellent and we were so impressed with the co-ordination of their services. There are a few people however that we wanted to specifically name as people who stood out. Dan and John were a pleasure to have on sight – they were timely and hardworking. Most notably however they were so personable, polite and considerate of our house and family. Our little girl Honor took a real shine to John and was most upset when she realised he wasn’t coming back.
The other person we wanted to acknowledge was Rich the carpenter. Another individual who was highly skilled at his job, but able to engage with us as clients. Again a pleasure to have working in our house.

I wanted to write and say how delighted we are with the conversion. We were very pleased with how quickly the work the work was done, and how efficient the team of carpenters, plumbers and electricians were. They also kept everything as clean and tidy as they could. We were impressed by their politeness, reliabilty and professionalism. It was also very useful to be kept up-to-date with progress and to know what to expect on a daily basis.
Our new loft conversion looks fantastic and has obviously been built to a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Attic Life. Many Thanks!

I am just emailing to say how very pleased we are with our new loft bedroom that you did for us, it is now all carpeted and decorated and my oldest son is now in there and is absolutely thrilled with his new bedroom as are we.
From initial contact with yourselves Neil came out and planned the loft for us he listened to exactly what I wanted and did not try to sell me bits I did not require or give me the hard sell which was lovely. When we had decided to go ahead the surveyors came out and must have measured every part of my house they were also very polite and were able to answer all my questions.
Then the scaffolding arrived and we were looking forward to the work but a little apprehensive as we had never had anybody in to do major building work on our house before but as soon as Jon and Dan the first fix team arrived we were put at ease they were so polite told us exactly what they would be doing that day. This continued everyday throughout the build they even took pictures of the work as it went along, they worked at a rate of knots and kept the house very clean and tidy for the duration we found it very strange when they had gone.
Throughout the build George has been excellent as well overseeing the work and even arranging for the neighbour to move their water tank out of our loft space he even managed to do this with out upsetting the neighbour concerned.
The plasterers, the electricians and the plumbers all worked to the same very high standards causing very minimal disruption to the rest of the house. The Second fit team also arrived on time everyday and worked very hard but to the highest of standards consulting us every step of the way and giving us different options for example how high did I want my shelves so that they fitted my sons books.
My friends have been around to see the new bedroom and were amazed how lovely it is and are now very envious.
I cannot thank all at Attic life enough for all their hard work and dedication to their jobs which they take pride in and it really shows. The difference it has made to my family's life having the extra space is immense and to us the new bedroom is worth it weight in gold. WELL DONE ATTIC LIFE and I wont have any problems in recommending you in the future.

Our conversion by Attic Life has exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled with the result which has given us a master bedroom with en-suite and a second bedroom/dressing room.
Neil’s expertise and creativity was apparent from the first meeting when after the initial check of the loft space he sat down to draw his draft plan which was based on my ‘vision’. He was the only person to do this and this level of service and attention to detail was maintained throughout. Other Companies just sent a bland, uninspiring drawing through the post and hoped for the best! We then went through a period where Neil and the other guys couldn’t have been more helpful in terms of tweaking the plans, giving us ideas and advising us on the technical aspect.
The structural team were fantastic. Led by Josh they arrived on time (despite a long journey to SP10), worked incredibly hard, cleared up every day and willingly took time out to show us progress and answer our questions. All of them had impeccable manners and we had no concerns about having any of them in our house as they were polite and respectful at all times. Everyone else involved – the plumbers, electricians, plasterers, carpenter, tiler and roofer had a similar, strong work ethic and nothing was too much bother.
We also took the opportunity to have some other work done including the kitchen and dining room knocked into one, the existing staircase and doors to match the new ones, a roof overhaul and our existing bathrooms replaced. Though it was a lot of disruption, we were glad we used Attic Life for this work too as it meant that the same guys were around and the work was managed as one project.
Attic Life is a great Company with strong values and all of the employees do their utmost to work together as a team to make it as smooth and unobtrusive as possible. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent and the cost was competitive with the reassurance that it was a fixed price. All of the contractors they use rate them as the best loft conversion Company they know of in terms of the finish and standard they achieve. The end result for us is a fantastic additional living space that blends perfectly into our property; in fact it’s difficult to imagine what it was like before!
Mr & Mrs Harvey

We wanted to write and say thank you to you and the whole team at Attic Life for doing such a great job on our loft conversion.
We originally chose Attic Life from the five firms that we asked to quote because Neil listened to what we said we wanted and then designed a layout which maximised the space available whilst retaining the character of the house both internally and externally. We had a preconceived idea of how the space might be used and all of the other firms just prepared a design around that. In contrast Neil listened to what we wanted to end up with, measured the space and then produced two options for us to consider, both of which were very different to our original ideas but which we could immediately see had real benefits.
The first fix team led by Will were incredibly efficient and worked exceptionally hard - they were a pleasure to have in and around the house. Will encouraged us to go up to see how the build was progressing and it is obvious he took great pride in his team's work. Steve carried out the second fix carpentry to an extremely high standard and again was a pleasure to have in the house. All of the trades were great and were seamlessly co-ordinated by Attic Life. A special mention has to go to the plumbers who were always cheerful and friendly despite having to work long days battling the house's quirky plumbing!
We appreciated the certainty of the fixed price quote and felt that the extra work we asked you to do was quoted for in a very fair and transparent manner. We were especially grateful that you were happy to arrange for your plasterer to come back to do a small repair job to our existing hallway ceiling which has allowed us to finish the post-build redecoration.
Finally we would like to thank George personally for everything he has done both during and after the build. We think George is Attic Life's greatest asset as his "can do" friendly and responsive approach proved invaluable. When problems did arise they were dealt with quickly and efficiently and with a minimum of fuss.
Many thanks again and we would have no hesitation in recommending Attic Life to anyone considering a loft conversion.

We would just like to say how pleased we were with the work Attic Life did to convert our attic space into a lovely large bedroom with a separate walk-in wardrobe and wet room. From the initial consultation through to the final finishing pieces we were thoroughly impressed with the speed and professionalism of everyone at Attic Life. When we were originally quoted a 7 week conversion timescale during the Christmas period we couldn't quite believe this would be possible. True to your word, our attic was finished in 7 weeks even though we had heavy snowfall! We have had quite a lot of work done to our house during the past 5 years and your fitters have been the most courteous, considerate, tidy and polite we've known. Everyone who has seen the attic since it was finished has been really impressed.
I remember taking references from two couples locally before we chose Attic Life and asked them both one question. If there was one thing they disliked about the work Attic Life had done, what was it? Neither had a negative comment other than to say they'd employ painters next time (which we now can relate to)!
Thank you very much for making our conversion as pain free as possible. We love our new space and would be more than happy to recommend Attic Life to anyone.
Mr & Mrs Conway

We just wanted to let you know how delighted we are with our amazing loft conversion! We had no idea what to expect but the whole project has gone without a hitch and we can't praise you and your team highly enough. Jake and Callum worked so hard and were a pleasure to have around. Rich was brilliant and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. The plastering is incredible - we love the curves and the bathroom is perfect - such a professional job.
All of your workmen turned up when they said they would - Which is exactly what we wanted. The electricians have done a great job with the lights etc. We really couldn't be more pleased with it all. We are now in the middle of decorating and hope to have Jack moved in by the end of September
Thank you all once again, it's amazing!!
Ms Dalrymple
September 2011
It was a pleasure working with Attic Life and their work for us was faultless. It was of a very high standard (as judged by an architect), completed on time, and the whole process was very professionally handled. We would have no hesitation in using Attic Life again, or in recommending them to others.
Miss Stewart & Mr Lake
August 2011
We just wanted to say a massive thank you to Attic Life for our lovely loft! We have finally finished decorating and it looks beautiful, we are so pleased at the difference it has made to our house.
We chose Attic Life as Neil was so helpful and informative in our first meeting and the fact he came up with a rough sketch at the first meeting showed what could be achieved in our budget. Having never had building work done before and aware of so many horror stories about builders we were a bit nervous about the process. However we had no need to be. From beginning to end the process was as stress free as possible, we were kept informed at every stage as to what was happening and what was planned for the next few days. The materials were well stored and everything was kept clean and tidy. Any concerns or comments we did have were voiced to George and taken on board. A massive THANK YOU has to go to John and Martin who worked extremely hard in the first few weeks and were always friendly and polite and we were comfortable with them in our home which was extremely important with 2 young children. We missed them when they'd gone! In fact my 2 year old sometimes still asks where John and "Hartin" are!! Nothing was too much trouble for Attic Life and it is rare nowadays, sadly, to find such great customer service and hard workers. The standard of workmanship was very high and the team were all very professional. We would have absolutely no qualms at all about recommending Attic Life to anyone and are so pleased we chose your company.
Mr & Mrs Daniels
July 2011
First of all we would like to thank you for keeping us fully informed throughout the process of our loft conversion. We are absolutely delighted with the finished room.
We arranged for three companies to give us quotations. Attic Life was chosen because of the coverage of your South West Regional Winner of the Federation of Master Builder of the Year Award in the local journal; the professionalism with which the initial meetings was conducted; the speed with which we received detailed plans; and the obvious knowledge and experience of the people in charge.
The 'first fit' duo of Jake and Dan were with us for about three weeks. Their punctuality, politeness and professionalism impressed us. More than that though we were pleased with the skill they showed in solving any problem they encountered. Each loft conversion is unique as they said, but they competently worked through any obstacles they came up against. At the end of each day, they not only tided up and vacuumed, but they took the time to explain what they had done and what they were going on to do. They were exceptionally hard working, genuine, thoughtful craftsmen.
We were also impressed that the materials needed were always 'on site' at the correct time, and that the follow up teams of electricians, plumbers and plasterers were also on site with no delays or gaps in time. The whole experience worked seamlessly and caused us no concerns at all. George was always available to talk to if needed and his visits to the work in progress were welcomed.
The second fit, done by Richard, lived up to expectations. You clearly set yourselves high standards and your workforce fulfils your expectations. Richard was another highly skilled craftsman and he was also prepared to 'go the extra mile' to ensure that the finished look matched the rest of the existing landing. As with the entire workforce, he tidied up both days he was here, and ensured that the outside of the house where scaffolding, skip and materials had been was left as they had found it before the work had began.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Attic Life to our neighbours and friends.

Very many thanks to you George and the rest of the team at Attic Life for such a fantastic loft conversion -we're thrilled with it.
Mr & Mrs Dunmow
May 2011
The reason for writing is to say a very big thank you for the fantastic service that both you and Attic Life provided with our recent loft conversion.
We are absolutely delighted with the additional bedroom. The extra room is proving invaluable and we can't imagine what life was like without it now! With a very young family we were obviously nervous about undertaking such major work to our house, but Attic Life took away all of the worry and the stress. Jim and Dan were a real pleasure to have around the house. They were polite, hardworking and ensured that nothing was too much trouble; even coping with the children. In fact, we missed them when they'd gone! Steve and Richard continued the excellent work and provided a finish of the highest standard. The team were particularly helpful and flexible helping us to make ongoing decisions about the final design during the building process. Thank you too George for your patience, support and clear communication throughout. We would have no hesitation recommending Attic Life to others who wish to transform their living space.
Mr & Mrs Morgan
April 2011
The provision of this additional living space and its en-suite bathroom has transformed all of our lives; Fridy and I have our front room back and Dieter also now has his own room.
No doubt you have heard this all before but I wanted to say that the quality of this work, the swift pace at which it was undertaken and the exemplary way in which it was carried-out are an absolute credit to your company and the team that delivered it. George was constantly on the case, and mixed deft project management with a friendly open manner that allowed clear dialogue and communication throughout. Will and Dan were absolutely fantastic at the first fix, their pace, quietness and tidiness again a total credit to the company. Richard followed up with a first rate second fix and was instantly open to discussion and modification of detail. The sub-contractors, again excellently marshalled by George, all delivered a top quality finish.
Ms Phillips & Mr Tomlinson
March 2011
Attic Life took the stress out of having major works done in the house. All the workmen were polite and unintrusive, and the work was completed quickly and to the required specification. Along the way, we were kept informed and able to make minor adjustments without being hammered financially. I would have no hesitation in recommending Attic Life as we are delighted with our new bedroom and en-suite in the loft.
Mr & Mrs Stock.
February 2011
We just wanted to say how pleased we are with our attic conversion, it has given us a new bedroom with an en-suite, but we still have enough storage room in the eaves for all the essentials. The workmen that built the conversion were fantastic, they arrived everyday at 8am on the dot. They finished at 5pm everyday and always left the site clean and tidy. Our elderly neighbour (who has always managed to find some issue to complain about with all our other building work) has been unable to find fault! In fact she commented on how polite the workmen were and how nice the finished conversion is. In summary we would recommend Attic Life, the whole conversion took under 6 weeks and the quality of the work was brilliant. Thank you! :-)
Mr & Mrs Mountford.
December 2010
This is just a quick line to thank you and your staff for a first class attic conversion at Little Ashton House. The whole process was managed and carried out extremely well from start to finish despite the cold and bad weather experienced!
We were particularly impressed with all your staff, the quality of their work and the way in which they handled everything from receiving deliveries, being very neat and tidy, and keeping us informed of progress.
Even where I was doubtful about something, Attic Life delivered. The use of a specialised crane to navigate our tight driveway was amazing and the steel girders were manoeuvred into the loft without a hitch.
We are now decorating our two attic rooms and bathroom and are looking forward to using the wonderful new space we have.
Thanks again. We will recommend you to anyone who is thinking of doing the same.
Mr Payne & Mrs Johnston.
November 2010
We are writing to offer our profound thanks to you and to your chaps for the all the work completed to our conversion.
One always worries when employing a builder after watching horror stories on TV. We are very pleased indeed to be able to confirm to you and to everyone we speak to, for that matter, that your firm is the very antithesis of the image of the “Rogue Builder” that the media delights in portraying. From the very first contact with you – then the production of the initial drawings, through to explaining the process and thence onto the actual work – to completion our experience has been of the highest order. All of your chaps are polite, hard working and clear up after themselves each evening. Whilst any building work inside a home brings a certain amount of chaos, you and your chaps kept this to an absolute minimum. Whilst we might feel inclined to single out one or two for special thanks, the truth is that without exception, every single one of the chaps has been excellent and have all been a credit to you and to your firm.
We now have a beautiful attic room with en-suite with the fabulous view. We are happy to report that the room is fully decorated and carpeted and once we have the furniture in place, we very much look forward to enjoying our new room.
As a final note, many thanks indeed for sending your man back to help with getting the bed head board into the room – this will teach us to buy such a large headboard! As ever, your chap went above the call of duty and upon noticing that the carpet we chose is quite thick, recognised that the doors would need to be altered very slightly to ensure their smooth operation and he just took them off and shaved off the bottom. This, to me, is possibly the most positive endorsement we can offer: Even after the job has been signed off and paid for, you, your company and your men continue to recognise the need of the customer and offer service of the very highest order over and above the level expected.
We can only confirm that it would be our absolute pleasure to recommend your company to anyone who may ask for referral and we would be very happy for any of your prospective customers to view our conversion and to ask us about the process and our experience of it.
Many thanks for all your help and we wish your company the very best for the future, as we always hope that the good guys who provide good service prevail and flourish.
Mr & Mrs May.

We just wanted to thank you so much for the fabulous job you have done on our loft conversion.
From the initial meeting with you everything has progressed smoothly and efficiently. Justin and Ryan were excellent, there was very little disruption to the rest of the house and we were so pleased to have them on site continuously so that each day enormous progress was made. In fact all your tradesmen were excellent, very clean and tidy and your project management enabled them to all dovetail in with each other. It seems very difficult nowadays to find a company of such high calibre and standards as yours and we will definitely be recommending Attic Life to friends and family.
Ms Rummings.
October 2010
Just wanted to say how pleased we are with the attic conversion. Despite the fact we had limited headroom you have created a great space for us and we couldn't be more pleased. Also like to compliment all of your tradesmen - they were great to deal with.
Thanks for all your time and patience.
Mr & Mrs Hamer.
September 2010
When we had our final meeting we told you how pleased we were with the work that Attic Life have done for us and we wanted to write to reiterate this.
We chose the company to carry out our loft conversion because we were impressed with the professional manner of the initial meeting and prompt dispatch of quote and follow up paperwork; it appeared to indicate a well-run efficient organisation that knew what they were doing. That has also been our impression throughout the job. We were pleased that once you started we had men working at the job almost continuously with no frustrating delays where nothing happened. We felt that you kept us informed at all stages on the progress and likely timescale. Your men and sub-contractors were all pleasant and polite and we were particularly pleased with the fact that the site was left tidy each night.
We have no hesitation in recommending Attic Life to other customers and would be happy for you to show this letter to potential clients.
Mr Pithouse & Ms Bristow, Chippenham.
August 2010
From Neil's initial visit through to completion of the work - Attic Life have been fantastic!
The conversion has been amazingly quick and 'painless' process - thanks to George's excellent project management and great communications; incorporating all of our additional requirements effortlessly.
We would like to thank everyone involved for the superb standard of work - we are absolutely delighted with the result and were particularly impressed with your team's efficiency and friendliness, and causing so little disruption to our daily life.
We will of course be pleased to recommend Attic Life to anyone considering a loft conversion.
We can't wait to move into our new en-suite room and if you would like to take photos once the decorating and carpeting have been completed we will be more than happy for you to show them to your prospective clients.
Once again, thank you all so much for our beautiful new 'loft living lifestyle'!
Mr & Mrs Venison, Long Ashton.
July 2010
We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the work that Attic Life did in converting our loft. We were very impressed by the attitude of all the professionals who worked on our conversion, they were all extremely friendly, professional and polite. The quality of the workmanship was impeccable and as a result we have a light attractive room which meets all our requirements.
We were also really touched by the congratulations cards received both from Attic Life and from Justin and Ryan following the birth our daughter. We will have no hesitation in recommending Attic Life to any friends or family considering a loft conversion.
Mr & Mrs Greatwich, Chippenham.
June 2010
We just wanted to write to say a big 'Thank You' to all of you for our loft conversion.
We have finally managed to finish off all the decorating and the rooms look stunning and have made a big difference to our home.
Please pass on our thanks to all the men who worked on our project they were all brilliant and we were amazed by both the speed and quality of the work.
We would not hesitate to recommend Attic Life.
Mr & Mrs Baldwin, Devizes.
May 2010
Liz and I wanted to email to say a big thank you for the fantastic job you have done on our loft conversion. It is even better than we had hoped and the standard of finish is superb. We also wanted to say thank you for the courtesy and thoughtfulness of your team, who made what could of been a painful process (especially with 2 children) much much easier. I don't think we have ever seen such thoughtful workmen, with such consideration for being in someones home.
Ms Orchard, Mr & Mrs Hall, Bristol.
April 2010
We are extremely pleased with the result and were impressed with all your workers, but particularly the two who did the original structure.
Mr Workman & Ms Gaskin, Bath.
March 2010
We would like to express our thanks to Attic Life and all its employees for carrying out our loft conversion so efficiently and to such a high standard. We were particularly impressed with the attitude and helpfulness of all the workers as it made a potentially stressful conversion into a pleasurable experience. I must also say how I appreciated the efficient communications by email, as I was away for most of the time and being regularly consulted helped to make it easier for Mandy. From the outset the whole Attic Life team were very flexible and informative about how we could perfect our design to exactly suit our needs. This took some time but throughout everyone was very supportive of the process, despite the difficult communication issues with me in Nepal.
In particular George was very helpful with advice on changes or adjustments we wanted to make and how to realise our ideas, as well as helping us to get the best price for additional work and materials. He was never too busy to respond to our queries and managed the whole project most efficiently. We must also mention Jim and Neil who started the work. They were very cheerful and worked incredibly hard. Richard was our second fixer and we really appreciated his attention to detail and the care he put into all the jobs he did. Our finished product is very neat and looks great, thanks in a large part to him. In fact all the Attic Life employees, Dave and Simon the plumbers, Lewis and Chris the electricians and Jody and Dan the plasterers were extremely courteous and immediately put you at your ease; even our children really enjoyed their presence. It was fun to see the boys each day and be shown the rapid progress they were making. We felt completely comfortable leaving everybody to work in the house on their own and found them all to be extremely professional and very likeable people.
We are very happy with the final result and are looking forward to finishing the decorations. We will have no hesitation in recommending Attic Life to friends who are interested in converting their lofts, and indeed have already done so. Keep up the good work!
Mr & Mrs Hemmings, Salisbury.
February 2010
Thank you very much for doing such a fantastic conversion of our loft and within time and cost constraints. We are delighted with the end result and I'm sure we will soon feel likes it's always been part of the house.
Mr & Mrs Laye, Frome.
February 2010
Once again Andy and I just wanted to say thank you for all your help and professionalism before, throughout and even now after the build. We are still very pleased and have recommended you and your team many times over.
Mr & Mrs Newton, Bath.
January 2010
Thank you for you professionalism, honesty, high standards and excellent service. Having our loft converted with Attic Life was the best experience we have had getting work done on our house. They listened and incorporated our wishes, helped us in making decisions, finished on time and all work was completed to a high standard. Having George as a point of contact was excellent. The builders were tidy and considerate around our children. The loft is fantastic and it feels like we have a new home with the extra space. Attic Life really are an example of a company who work to the highest standards in all they do - thank you.
Mr & Mrs Elliott, Radstock.
January 2010
We found Attic Life to be very professional, quick and neat. Everyone involved was obviously very skilled at their jobs and the fact that our loft conversion was professionally project managed was a definite asset. We would whole heartedly recommend Attic Life to anyone considering a loft conversion.
Mr & Mrs Waller, Bath.
December 2009
Amanda and myself would like to thank you and everyone involved at Attic Life for a truly excellent job on our loft conversion.
We were extremely impressed with the professional way everything was planned, co-ordinated and delivered on time and budget. The quality of the work is excellent throughout and we'd happily show the end result to any of your future customers. We were especially pleased that the work completed before Christmas as we had both sets relatives to stay. The extra room and en-suite was appreciated by everyone. The only argument was who got to sleep up there (my mother-in-law won, as usual)!!
Mr & Mrs Wynne, Frome.
November 2009
We were delighted with the quality of the work Attic Life carried out. Not only was it to a high standard, the project was completed on time and within budget. Thank you.
Mr & Mrs Daddow, Bath.
October 2009
We are writing to tell you how delighted we are with the loft conversion that Attic Life completed in August. We have finished decorating the loft, which looks stunning with a solid oak floor. The hallway is nearly done; the stair carpet is being fitted in December. You are more than welcome to come and take photographs when this has been done.
Overall, the service received from Attic Life was absolutely fantastic:
The job was completed on time and on budget. All the workmen, including plasterers, electricians, plumbers, tilers etc were courteous, friendly and no trouble at all to have working on our home. We were very impressed that they stayed late some evening to get certain tasks done. Particular thanks must go to Justin and his team of builders who did the initial structural work.
We were really pleased with the way in which you kept us informed throughout and were available to discuss aspects of the work as the job progressed . We would also like to thank you for sorting out our rather precarious front bay window/bedroom ceiling and getting some re-pointing work done for us.
The quality of all aspects of the workmanship, from the underlying structural work to the finishing touches, is second on none. Several friends and family members have commented how 'Solid' the conversion feels and how well it blends in with the rest of the house. The subtle touches, such as matching the newel posts/spindles to the existing stairs, really do make a big difference. The curves in the plasterwork are extremely well done and add a really smooth, organic quality to the finish. Several people have commented how much lighter it makes the upstairs hallway and how light and spacious the loft space is. Now we've moved into the loft, it's like sleeping in a posh hotel!
Mr & Mrs Renton, Radstock.
September 2009
Thank you for the wonderful job you did with our attic, we are very pleased with the end result and would recommend you to anyone who was considering such a job.
Mr & Mrs Harding, Bristol.
August 2009
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for the great job that Attic Life did for us with the loft conversion at East Harptree over the summer. Jess is thoroughly enjoying her new space!
Mr & Mrs Mack, Bath.
July 2009
Having seen a feature on Attic Life in an addition of the Bath Chronicle last year and armed with a friends recommendation, we contacted Attic Life. We found the whole process very easy, George project managed the loft conversion so we didn't have to deal with anyone but him, which was great. He informed us about everything that was happening and everyone involved were always friendly and professional
The conversion worked so well and they're both fantastic rooms, along with the staircase, fit brilliantly with the rest of the house. We can't recommend Attic Life highly enough.
Mr & Mrs Gunstone, Yarnbrook.
June 2009
This is to thank you for the work carried out in our home by you this year.
I would also like to thank the young men employed by you who carried out this work. They were polite and considerate with all that they did for us. Mess was kept to a minimum and their tidiness was appreciated.
I think the top mark has to be given for the fact that all the services needed to keep the work going never left us with a day when nothing happened and your goal of five weeks to complete was achieved.
We are really benefiting from the extra space and your work has been admired by friends who have came to inspect the conversion.
A very satisfactory job completed by you and your team.
Mr & Mrs Punwar, Bristol.
May 2009
I would like to take a moment to thank you all at Attic Life Ltd. for the brilliant job you did to convert our loft from a dark empty space to a beautiful light and spacious room.
Of all the companies that came to do a quote for us you were by far the most professional one with a reasonable quote, some companies quoted almost double your price with the exact some work to be done and didn't give us a clear idea of the process.
I knew from the first meeting with Neil that Attic Life Ltd. was very profession and trustworthy, Neil gave me a very good description by drawing up a plan and he knew exactly what I wanted.
Everyone involved was very efficient, professional and above all they took pride in their job and there were no delays.
I would highly recommend you for your outstanding achievement, you exceeded my expectations by far and the loft looks absolutely fabulous.
Mr & Mrs Huxtable, Hilperton.
May 2009
Just to say thank you so much for the fantastic work undertaken during our loft conversion. From my initial phone call until completion, Attic Life presented scrupulous attention to detail and maintained an exemplary level of customer care in every respect.
As a Project Manager George was attentive and ensured all our questions were addressed. Issues that arose were resolved swiftly and in particular he was always available to help either in person or on the end of a phone.
The first fix team were second to none and what fabulous teamwork; polite, courteous and a pleasure to welcome into our home. Jim was extremely professional and worked to such a high level of specification. We do miss having him around! Nick has particular qualities that complimented working alongside Jim. He worked intensively under instruction from Jim and nothing was too much to ask for. He is an asset to the team.
Richard was equally hard working in every respect and his carpentry skill work is fabulous. Once again he was polite ensuring each and every detail was adhered to.
Dave and his plumbing team were great, once again extremely high standards of work, time keeping and respect. The kittens particularly enjoyed the plumbing team! The same can be said of Lewis and his team who were patient, obliging and neat in there work.
Jodie and his team have also perfected the plastering work. Their finished work is highly professional, we are thrilled with the end result.
Ian and I would be more than happy to recommend Attic Life. Such a major work with so little disruption. Thank you all.
Mr & Mrs Jackson, Bath.

Attic Life have proved themselves to be a professional, friendly, reliable and extremely competent organisation and one which I would recommend whole heartedly to anyone who is interested in having their loft converted. They helped us navigate through the treacherous planning process in Bath proving agile and flexible to the needs of the planners and to ourselves.
The standard of workmanship is fantastic, the workers are polite, friendly and certainly hardworking. George provided as much or as little information as I wanted and nothing was too much trouble, including paying for some tiles out of his own pocket when we realised we didn't have enough (although he did get his money back!)
We are thoroughly delighted with the end result and we hope that this letter encourages anyone thinking of having their loft converted to contact Attic Life.
Mr & Mrs Hawker, Chippenham.

We would like to express our thanks for such a fantastic job done by the team. Right from the outset of yourself and George coming to measure and price the job, all the way through to George removing the remaining rubbish from the garden, we found everybody involved to be professional, courteous and committed to doing a quality job as efficiently as possible.
In addition, we were always kept informed of what was happening and when, and there was plenty of opportunity to have our input on the finer details of the project without being made to feel that we were being fussy or an inconvenience.
We feel a special mention should be given to Will who was, without exception, punctual, polite, hard working, co-operative, and very clean and tidy, always clearing up at the end of the day.
We are extremely proud of what was been achieved from a previous ‘dead space’, every visitor to the house has been subjected to a guided tour, after which everybody has commented on what a clever use of space it is. It certainly has got them thinking about the options open to them within their own houses.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the idea of a loft conversion as an excellent way of extending somebody’s house and would have even less hesitation in recommending Attic Life as the company to deal with.
Mr & Mrs Matthews, Melksham.

We have worked with many builders over time but this is the best managed build in our experience. Each day we knew who to expect and what was to be done. The team were courteous, helpful and extremely professional. The build was expertly executed and attention to detail rigidly executed.
We have found by bitter experience it pays to use a specialist and Attic life is truly a specialist in their field. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to our friends. Our attic was skilfully converted to two bedrooms and one on suite in just 7 weeks exactly, from materials arriving to the last traces removed from site and final inspection. The Team worked together each with their specialist skills and the treated our house as our home and cleaned up every evening before they left. Their efforts went over and above our expectations.
Well done, a good job.
Mr & Mrs Squire, Bradford on Avon.

We wanted to tell you what a great job we think you did. All the tradesmen involved in the conversion (plumber, electrician, carpenter, plasterers and builders) were totally professional throughout, reliably starting work on time and to schedule in each part of the project (this was even remarked upon by some of our neighbours!). All involved were friendly and courteous, taking care to shut doors (to keep dust out and our cats in!) and keep things as tidy and respectable as possible.
The whole project was overseen well and we felt that we were kept in the loop about all decisions and we were able to make some small adjustments and changes during the process too. All our questions and concerns, however small, were listened to and answered clearly and patiently.
The quality of the work done was also to a very high standard and we felt that you often went the extra mile to make sure that the things we wanted done were done as we wanted.
Mr & Mrs Donaghue, Bath.

We have dealt with many builders and workmen over the years, and approached Attic Life to quote for a loft extension to include a bedroom and separate bathroom for one of our student houses in Bath.
From the initial meeting through to completion, the service ,project management, communication, quality of workmanship etc has been seamless and surpassed our expectations.
Attic Life really do deliver on all their promises. Without hesitation, they would be the only company that we would consider for any future loft conversions needed in our other rental properties.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Neil, Paul and the rest of the team for a truly superb job. The loft conversion went incredibly smoothly and was completed a week ahead of schedule. I was very impressed with the organisation and the execution of the work. The team worked well together and were extremely professional.
Mr Lake & Ms Mercer, Bath.

We were really pleased with our loft conversion. It was very well designed and has given us a great office space. The Attic Life team were always polite and pleasant – they always took off their shoes before coming into the house and it was very different from the normal experience of having builders in. All the work was competed to a good standard and totally on schedule. They fitted a natural wood floor which looks great. Attic Life seem to have got conversions down to a fine art and we would be very happy to recommend them.
Mr & Mrs Sanders, Peasedown St John.

We promised the neighbours who supported our application and endured the subsequent disruption (scaffolding in garden, lorries delivering over drive etc) of our loft conversion, a peek at the end result.
The "new build" decoration is finished (still loads to do in the rest of the house) and so we have invited the neighbours to pop in for a glass of wine.
We would like to extend this invite to yourselves and the guy's who actually did the work, Neil, Lee, Mark, Steve etc and deliberately chose a Friday evening as we thought you more likely to be able to pop in after work to see us. We don't mind work clothes as we know how well trained they all are, we know they don't often get to see the end result of their labours.
Ms Hares, Trowbridge.

We would like to express our appreciation for the amazing loft conversion and upstairs bathroom that we have just had built by Attic Life. From the design phase through to completion we have been very pleased with the professional and friendly service we have received. The workmen were incredibly reliable, keeping to the schedule, informing us of their progress at every stage. The finish is of a very high standard and many of our friends have commented on how it gives the house the wow factor - even Sarah Beeny would be impressed! If you are considering a loft conversion we would highly recommend Attic Life...
Mr & Mrs Clelland, Bath.

We just wanted to thank your team for doing such a great job on our loft extension earlier this year. We chose you because you worked with us to create a design that would work well and fitted with our style of home. Your teams met our high expectations in taking initiative to suggest and do the little things that add to the finish of the job. Thank you, we wish you every success.
Mr & Mrs Baker, Frome.

My wife and I would like to place on record how pleased we are with the service and quality of workmanship we have received from all at Attic Life. We are very pleased with our new accommodation, which has transformed our bungalow.
You should be very proud of your team starting with George for his leadership and attention to detail, through Sam and Jim for the structural changes to Steve for his patience in the finishing details.
Mr & Mrs Bingham, Bradford on Avon.
December 2007
We would like to thank you and your team of people for the excellent work that you all did in completing our loft conversion a day earlier than promised and at the exactly agreed price. We were particularly impressed with the way that your team tried hard to minimise the disruption to our household and how our particular requirements were incorporated into the work.
We are enjoying the extra rooms that the loft conversion has given our house and are happy to tell our friends all about Attic Life. It is very refreshing to have had such a successful experience, especially with all the stories one hears about building works taking so long and being above budget.
Mr & Mrs Couchman, Bath.

It has been at the back of our minds for a long time that we never really wrote to say thank you properly for the fantastic work you did on our loft conversion.
Hopefully you will already know how thrilled we were with Attic Life by the number of friends we have sent in your direction but we did just want to write now to thank you for being such a pleasure to work with.
We were so impressed with how hard all your guys worked and how pleasant they were to have around. We thought the communication between you and what was going on on-site was excellent and I was most grateful for you never making me feel like a nuisance when I phoned up with all my queries and questions.
We will always look back on the project with fondness - not something everyone can say about 'getting the builders in'!
Mr & Mrs Blower, Bath.
May 2006
Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our loft conversion. From the very first meeting with Neil and George we were very impressed with your professionalism.
The lads were very courteous, hard working, always turned up on time and we felt we could totally trust them in our home
We would not hesitate to recommend Attic Life to anyone. Thanks again.
Mr & Mrs Mansfield, Bristol.
August 2005
This is just a quick note to thank you, George, Lee and everyone at Attic Life for all the hard work in delivering to us a fantastic loft conversion. Sue and I are absolutely thrilled with the quality of the workmanship. It was also appreciated that you managed our expectations for the project and kept us informed of what the timetable looked like and whether you were on schedule.
Again many thanks, we cannot speak highly enough for the work that you have done for us.
Mr & Mrs Beswick, Bath.
February 2005
We are writing to express our appreciation for the very professional loft conversion that you have built for us.
Your team was extremely proficient, hardworking, polite and considerate. They cleaned up every night before leaving, started early in the mornings and worked till the job was finished.
Mr & Mrs Foxley, Box, Wiltshire.
February 2005
We would just like to thank you for the excellent job done on our attic conversion, which was carried out with a professional approach and commitment by yourself and your workmen. Attic Life's ability to incorporate planning and building regulation applications as part of the service made this a stress free process for us.
We highly recommend Attic Life to anyone thinking of having a loft conversion and wants a first class service.
Mr & Mrs Smith, Chippenham.
November 2003
The Attic Life team were friendly, polite and very easy to have around. They were considerate and courteous towards our neighbours, and this was remarked upon.
Attic Life stayed exactly on schedule and the job was finished within five weeks. The team arrived promptly every day and always kept us informed of progress and developments.
Mr & Mrs Archer, Radstock.
October 2003
We are writing to thank you for the brilliant work that you did on our loft, from the way which you dealt with the building work itself, to sorting out the plans, arranging the electrician and even the small job of getting the skip around the back of our house!
We were dealt with the highest standards and with the minimum of disruption. Thanks once again.
Mr & Mrs Redfern, Chippenham.
August 2003
We are extremely pleased with our loft conversion and found that from day one Attic Life were very professional and competent. We were delighted when the Council Building Inspector remarked how very impressed he was with the work.
We have personally recommended Attic Life to friends and neighbours and everyone who has seen our conversion has been impressed.
