LOOKING FOR LOFT SKYLIGHTS?
Skylight loft conversions are also known as Velux conversions. These are perhaps the most cost-effective loft conversion out there, as it requires the simplest amount of construction.
For those lucky enough to already have enough space in their loft, Skylight loft conversions can provide a truly cost-effective way to build an extra room, and generally speaking (this isn’t the case for all) planning permission isn’t usually needed.
It’s worth noting however, that due to the loft conversion merely consisting of making use of the space that you already have, without extending, these types of loft conversions can be more restricting. Nevertheless, they are far more affordable and usually take a mere matter of weeks to complete, which can be a huge bonus for some.

Paul - thank you especially for guiding us through all the stages before and during the build. Their workmen were hard working from start to finish, efficient, and obviously very skilled. They were also polite, helpful and really tidy. We had great communication by email with their office, and with Paul in person and on the WhatsApp group - thank you. Our family in USA are now looking forward to staying with us in comfort this summer and beyond!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Bianca Hamilton16/03/2023Paul, Dangis and the team are simply top notch. They did such a high-quality job on a tight timeframe and communicated so well throughout. They were a pleasure to work with, handled all elements of the build from start to finish and kept disruption as minimal as they could. Couldn’t recommend them more highly if I tried.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Mindy Lee29/01/2023Thank you Clapham Construction! Your team were friendly, efficient, and highly motivated. The project ran to schedule with effective overlapping of tasks to allow for minimum disruption. Paul kept us actively involved at each stage of the process, so we always knew what was happening when, which was really reassuring. If we ever had a question, he would talk it through with us in person and offer advice without any pressure or expectation. The work is completed to an excellent standard. All the construction workers where kind, considerate, friendly, polite and kept our house as clean and tidy as possible. This took so much of the stress out of living on site during the works with a young son. Even the neighbours commented on how polite and considerate the builders had been. We would highly recommend this team for anyone thinking of undertaking a loft conversion in the future.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Shayan Bokhari29/12/2022Paul, Dangis and their team were excellent given we had some obstacles with the council on design, they accommodated what we required.

Happy with our new loft, all work done to an excellence standard, any follow up questions or issues dealt with quickly. Would highly recommend. Thank you very much.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Dani Carter25/10/2022Absolute professionals is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Clapham Construction service. And there are two further things you need to know about them: they are brilliant at what they do and they are generous in spirit. Throughout our project Paul and Dangis answered our naive questions with warmth and care. They helped guide us at every turn, and almost certainly saved us money by making sure we considered all the options we had before making key decisions. But not just customer care, the building work is also top notch. The build itself was a well oiled process, coordinated with skill. I was initially worried about getting an anonymous loft company I'd never heard of in (after getting 8 different quotes from a variety of places including famous local ones) and being part of the 'box on the roof' brigade. Yet somehow, they have created build magic with some tweaks on 'a little bit of height' here, and 'a little configuration' there. We keep marvelling at the sturdiness and smoothness of the physical build even now, and the army of highly skilled teams they have were a pleasure to host in the house while we worked from home. And finally the most important bit - the money stuff- our Loft extension (including bathroom) was completed on time and more or less on budget. The additional costs were the unforseen - (yikes a victorian chimney needs dismantling!) and a few flourishes that we ourselves added to the mix - (can the door handles be gold?). Any additional build costs were communicated efficiently and immediately. Our experience of Clapham Construction is that they are patient, hugely knowledgable, and detail orientated with a wealth of incredible advice. Don't delay on getting them on your project!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Mikey Johns22/09/2022We spoke to a few companies to quote our dormer loft conversion but were immediately impressed speaking to Dangis & Paul and went with Clapham CS. We’re really happy with the end result which has given us some much needed extra space. Progress was quick, these guys are very experienced and know exactly what they’re doing. They’ll talk you through your plans and give you honest advice at key stages when you need to make a decision, very patient with us too! Would definitely recommend, they’ve done numerous houses in our neighbouring streets too, end results always look great.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Maria Luisa McKendry18/09/2022Highly recommend this company. As first time buyers and first time renovators we couldn't be happier with their service. Paul and Dangis are very professional and thorough, at no times does it feel like corners are cut. They are able to provide genuine advice and guidance while being accommodating ensuring a stress free process.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Stuart Williams18/09/2022Clapham Construction completed our kitchen extension for us. We’re really pleased with the results, and it has changed the whole place. The price was agreed upfront and there were no hidden extras. Good communication throughout the whole process on WhatsApp and Dan showed great building experience. They had the whole team from build, kitchen fitting through to finishing the garden off available in house so made it a lot easier. Thanks guys.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Tom Forman05/09/2022We are delighted with our new loft conversion, Clapham Construction did a great job. They were highly professional, no hidden costs, and with friendly employees who treated the rest of the house with respect. We would not hesitate to recommend them.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 54 reviews
