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.

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.

We are extremely pleased with the result and were impressed with all your workers, but particularly the two who did the original structure.

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.

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.
April 2009
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.
April 2009
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.
March 2009
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.
October 2008
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.
August 2008
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.
Mr & Mrs McDermott, Bath.
July 2008
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.
April 2008
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.
April 2008
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.
April 2008
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.
March 2008
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.
December 2007
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.
November 2006
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.
