EXCELLENT Based on 59 reviews Kevin O'Riordan2023-11-10 One of the main reasons why I chose Paul and Dangis for my loft conversion project on a rented house in South London was the excellent reviews they had. Now, I am pleased to be adding a 5 star review myself as a happy customer. This was a daunting project for me, living abroad. There is a hell of a lot of detail involved and I had no experience on this size of a project. Paul and Dangis guided me through the whole thing really well from planning, party walls etc being really experienced specialists. The communication was crystal clear and they were always on top of the low level details which is no mean feat. When I changed my mind on a key project decision, requiring some structural work to be undone, they were flexible and fair about it. The finished job is high quality, was completed on time. and I am very happy with it. Importantly, they are very nice guys to work with, and my neighbours had no complaints about anything. I highly recommend Clapham Construction Services! Sally Smithson2023-10-09 We couldn't recommend Paul and Dangis more, having had the worst experience with builders 2 years ago, we had the best experience with Clapham Construction. They were great at communicating timescales (and sticking to them) and everything was finished to a really high standard. They were really flexible to our ever changing decisions and very accommodating - suggesting ideas and ways to make things better. They really care and this makes the whole process pretty stress free. Stephanie Baker2023-10-01 We could not recommend Clapham Construction Service more highly. They recently completed our hip to gable with rear dormer loft extension in Streatham Hill. From start to finish, Paul and Dangis were fantastic. They did exactly what they said they would do, when they said they would do it - which is a rare thing thesedays. They guided us through a daunting process with great professionalism and good humour. They were regularly on site and always kept us updated about progress and next steps. They were always responsive and considerate. Their team of trusted workmen were highly competent and friendly. Their attention to detail was notable and much appreciated. We are very happy with the finished result. Georgina King2023-09-17 Really recommend these guys for anyone doing a loft conversion. They are really thorough and provide a lot of support throughout. The process is really quick too… it took 8 weeks for my loft and that was two bedrooms and one bath. There was constant communication and updates which was also really great! Huge thanks to the team for being approachable and reliable. Elise Russell2023-08-23 Cannot recommend Clapham Construction more! It was an absolute pleasure working with Paul, Dangis and their team as we built a mansard and did a loft conversion as well as adding an en-suite bathroom. The planning process was a really good opportunity to get onto the same page and their invaluable advice meant it all went smoothly with engaging neighbours and the council. The building works were done quickly and to a very high standard. While we went for relatively cheap options, I was impressed with the quality of the fittings and materials. I also appreciated that throughout the building process, there were constant quality checks by Dangis and also points where he gave some great suggestions on how to bring more light into the flat which has made a huge difference to the overall feel of our home. Sadly we are moving away from the area as our family is growing but I wish they CC could come to our new home and work their magic! James McVean2023-07-19 We would thoroughly recommend Clapham Construction Service. Paul and Dangis were always very helpful from start to finish on our loft conversion and we are very happy with the result. Andrew Downie2023-07-04 We had a loft conversion, new roof and windows. The experience from start to finish was a pleasure. Paul and Dangis are very helpful even when I was asking for things that were not possible. The whole team is a crack squad - from roofers to plasterers and electricians. And all organised to slot in one after another. The end job is excellent. I couldn't recommend more. Anna Lee2023-06-11 Our loft conversion took 9 weeks end to end and it was basically stress free (how many people have you met that say that about their building experience?!). Paul and Dangis were brilliant - knowledgable, empathetic and efficient. Would never use anyone else - highly recommend. Helena Pettifer2023-05-24 The fact that a building company has 100% 5* reviews tells you everything you need to know. They were brilliant. Efficient, Incredibly professional and responsive to all our questions. The thing that we found most impressive was the time that the guys took to clean up on a Friday to ensure there wasn’t that much dust and mess over the weekend. Would definitely use again. Nicholas Carpenter2023-04-12 Clapham Construction have done a great job on our loft conversion and we are very pleased with how smoothly the project went, and the brilliant loft space that we now have. 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!

Frequently asked questions
What Is a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion?
A hip to gable loft conversion is a popular home improvement project that involves extending the sloping side (hip) of a roof outwards to create a vertical wall (gable), effectively turning the space into a more substantial, rectangular area. This type of conversion is particularly suitable for properties with hipped roofs, such as many semi-detached and detached houses, where the existing loft space might be limited. By extending the roof and adding a rear dormer, if desired, this conversion maximises the usable space within the loft, making it ideal for adding bedrooms, bathrooms, offices, or other living spaces.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Hip to Gable Loft Conversion?
Whether you need planning permission for a hip to gable loft conversion depends on several factors, including your location and the specifics of your project. In many cases, hip to gable conversions fall under “Permitted Development” rights in the UK, which allow for certain types of work without the need for planning permission, provided they meet specific conditions and limits. However, if your property is located in a conservation area or is listed, you will likely need to apply for planning permission. Additionally, if your proposed conversion exceeds certain size limits or involves significant alterations to the roof shape, planning permission may be required. It’s always best to consult with your local planning authority or a professional loft conversion company (like ours) to understand the specific requirements for your project.
