Great Loft Conversion
Charles Grosvenor Ltd converted the loft on our quite large 1970's house to create a new staircase and two bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms. Also, the work included the replacement of the existing CH boiler and tank. After the initial review by the surveyor, it appeared that the conversion was not going to be possible due to a combination of the complex existing roof structure and the logistics challenges of moving materials to a location from a roadside truck to the worksite without damaging our drive. Each of these challenges were overcome by Grosvenor's. The loft design was reworked several times up to and including during the installation. The materials supply issues were overcome by building a temporary large elevated platform on the front lawn which could be reached by a crane from the road. The existing driveway was given temporary protection by laying sheets of timber when heavy vehicles were needed to make drops. Throughout, great care was exhibited by all of the workmen who visited. Overall the time and cost was revised throughout the job to reflect agreed changes. There was a time overrun but largely due to additional requests from ourselves and third party work such as decorating. Throughout the job, we felt included in the decision making and were supported by the project manager. The impression we were left with was very positive and would therefore have no reservations in recommending them for even the most complex loft conversion.

Fantastic Loft Conversion
Charles Grosvenor recently completed our loft conversion. My roof space was tight and if I am honest I was worried about the overall head height. There really was no need to worry as the end result is perfect. The build started a little earlier tha planned which was perfect for us. The builders were very good. Clean, tidy, punctual, with great communication making sure I was happy at each step of the dormer installation. Nothing was too much hassle even when we wanted to change the layout a little. Just and second fixes for electric and plumbing went well. Again the guys are a credit to the Grosvenor team. This is the first time that I have ever had any kind of building work done, and could be quite daunting. The team made this really easy, stress free and problem free. I really hope that all building companies are like this! I would kost definitely recommend Charles Grosvenor to anyone thinking of a loft conversion. More than happy for people to come and see the work carried out!

Outstanding service from Charles Grosvenor
We contacted Charles Grosvenor regarding converting the loft in our bungalow. From the very first phone call it was clear that this was an extremely professional and experienced company. We spoke to other companies but quite frankly none were in the same league as Charles Grosvenor. On the initial visit Paul spent a good hour with us firstly checking the space but also understanding what we wanted and discussing options for stair position etc. We were very happy with the proposed plans which included a master bedroom with dressing area and en-suite bathroom and study and we gave them the go ahead for the work. Throughout the whole process from initial plans to contracts to planning permission to the build itself the communication was always excellent. All costs, time frames and processes were clearly explained and all of the staff were friendly and professional. The tradesmen were knowledgeable and always arrived on time and were friendly and helpful. We had regular visits from Russell so that he could check on the work but also answer any questions we had and make sure we were happy. Our loft conversion is now complete and we are absolutely delighted not just with the space but with our decision to have the work done by Charles Grosvenor. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Very satisfied customer
I am very satisfied indeed with the loft conversion which Charles Grovenor has carried out for me. In a short space of time, they have turned a storage area in my walk-in loft into a splendid, spacious bathroom. I have a chalet bungalow. The craftsmen were always courteous, prompt and the quality of their work was of a consistently high standard. The Managing director visited weekly, treating me as a special customer, ably supported by his team. Concerns were always listened to and acted upon, to my satisfaction. I have no hesitation in recommending Charles Grosvenor (loft conversion specialists) to you.

Great loft conversion, built to time plan
Charles Grosvenor converted our loft into a fabulous space, with a large bedroom and bathroom and huge storage area - that was connected to the first floor with a bespoke staircase. They agreed a plan and stuck to it, in particular adapting the schedule to satisfactorily deal with lock down. They were also flexible and could accommodate changes that we asked for and they handled the related price adjustments in a business-like way. For example, we added a few extras round the house, such as electrical improvements. The finish was good and decorating could be carried out without undue preparation. The team were generally a delight to deal with. The office staff provided great support and planned well ahead, so there weren't any surprises, and the onsite team were also easy to deal with. At the end of the job, they took the time to ensure that things were completed satisfactorily.

Life changing Loft conversion
Our Charles Grosvenor Loft conversion has made a huge impact on my families lives! We have had a hip to gable, dormer plus Velux installed. New stair case, first floor adjusted and matched to existing stair case details. They were quick, clean, tidy and v accommodating. The guys on site were friendly, highly professional and flexible, even to my 2 year old sons nap times!! The whole job was completed in just under 25 days! Having this extra space now means that all my children have a bedroom. Our relatives can have a double bed in our house rather than staying in a local hotel or b&b. The job was completed to budget and before the predicted end date. Russell, Darren and the whole office team were simply a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

A superb loft conversion company
This is the second loft conversion that Charles Grosvenor have completed for us. We were so pleased with the first that when we moved house, we got in touch with them straight away for another! They are consistently helpful, their work is done to a high standard, communication is excellent, and when a few issues arose they were resolved very quickly and thoroughly. The work was completed according to the agreed budget and schedule. We are delighted with the two rooms they have created for us in our new home, and would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone.

Awful experience, bad customer service
Awful experience from start to finish. Builders who didn’t show up, turned up late and leave early. Damage to our property caused by the builder not securing the access hole correctly when leaving to be off site for a week, which allowed rain to enter our property. The damaged was meant to be be fixed by plasterer and decorated, the plasterer forgot that room so had to be called back and the decorating never took place. When builder was meant to return to finish job, he didn’t show up due to illness. When he returned on the Friday he was late and became aggressive and swore in front of my young children. He then walked off the job. Our job had to be finished by a mixture of different people, which was not done to a high standard and not a great deal of care taken. When contacting directors to complain they said that my husband aggravated the builder by asking what time he called it when he showed up late. I have had nothing but poor customer service from this company, I feel let down and the whole situation left me highly stressed. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Over the years I have had a number building firms carry our work for me, some good some very average . How refreshing to find a building firm that sticks to its quality of service and its professionalism. All the work is carried out with the customer in mind, any problems are immediately rectified. Russell Annis our project manager was always there to make sure the work measured up to our expectations. All the staff and builders we came in contact with at Charles Grosvenor were polite and helpful. Unfortunately good building firms are rare, Charles Grosvenor is one of the best. PS My build was a tricky one as I converted a loft in a full size Barn, but it looks stunning.

Fantastic company - brilliant loft conversion
Charles Grosvenor have been brilliant from start to finish. Customer service has been flawless - everyone we met from the company were friendly and professional. They were realistic about time scales and kept us up to date throughout the process. They may not be the cheapest option but SO worth spending the extra money as they communicate and liaise with everyone -builders, scaffolders, electricians and plumbers - getting everything organised without any stress from our end! We were especially delighted with the size of our new room - our loft was really small and they somehow managed to create a really beautiful open space with a new staircase and it's totally transformed our house! I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

A thoroughly helpful and professional company
We employed this company to undertake a part build loft conversion for us in a 1960s bungalow, providing 2 bedrooms and a shower room. They undertook the main part of the building work including the planning application and we completed the job (insulation, electrics, plumbing and plasterwork). Their work was quick, efficient and clean, main build took just 3 and a half weeks. We were kept informed throughout and with regular site visits we were able to make some decisions as the job progressed. The personable staff both on site and in the offices made it a pleasurable rather than stressful experience, I would recommend them to anyone thinking of transforming a roof space into a useful living space. They know their stuff!

Well managed and executed Velux loft conversation
From the earliest consultation with Paul to the build, and the customer management by Russell, I was very impressed with Charles Grosevenor: Their support staff back in the office were also very helpful with dealing with any queries and even helped us source door knobs that were a close match to the ones we had elsewhere in the house. At the start it was the ideas offered by Paul with respect to how we should accommodate our stairs up to the loft space impressed me. In addition Charles Grosevenor were very accommodating in waiting for us to be in a position to start the work over a year after our initial consultation. When a start date was agreed everything went to plan. All the builders/tradesmen always turned up as agreed at a time which allowed us to continue going to work whilst the conversation went ahead. All the tradesmen respected the house by tidying up after themselves and were always very polite and accommodating. The work was completed within the estimated timescale and to a good standard and Russel was always on hand to check we were happy on dealt with any snags. What I liked about working with Charles Grosevenor was that I felt that I didn't need to worry about anything as they looked after everything. I therefore would recommend Charles Grosevenor to anyone considering a loft conversion.

Using Charles Grosvenor for my loft conversion was best decision I could have made
Our loft conversion is amazing! Charles Grosvenor were amazing. They really know what they are doing because they have so much experience just converting lofts. That meant they had some great ideas that really worked. They also got the maximum living space out of our loft for us. Now that it is done we realise the space you get makes the most difference. They were also able to use their experience and ideas to create a very beautiful space you want to spend time in. Paul who initially came out to see us when we enquired about using the company did not try to hard sell us but talked through what was possible and as someone who used to install the lofts himself his experience was really informative. Russell who project managed everything and everyone who worked on the loft were brilliant and could not do more to help or to answer any question we had. If there was ever a problem or a change we wanted to make .... during the conversion or after..... Russell did not hesitate to get it fixed. We are very happy. If I had to have another loft conversion I would not hesitate to use these guys! In fact both my neighbours have / are using them. They are experts in converting lofts and a pleasure to deal with.

Loft conversion resulting in a large en-suite bedroom
We chose Charles Grosvenor after looking at properties in the area with recent loft conversions and asking the homeowners about their experience. The feedback regarding Charles Grosvenor was excellent, in particular their after-care. Russell was our project manager and the communication was good throughout. The builders were amiable and professional and there was surprisingly little disruption throughout the build. I was impressed by the quality of work and felt fully informed at all times. On completion of the build the snaggings list ensured that any areas that I felt needed attention were addressed promptly and I felt that the overall experience with Charles Grosvenor was excellent. I recommend them to anyone considering a loft conversion.

Charles Grosvenor - Fantastic Loft and Building Work
Charles Grosvenor undertook the work of converting the loftspace of our bungalow into a two bedroom+bathroom space. Additionally, CG were contracted to remove some ground-floor walls, relocate kitchen services, fit new French door & re-plaster downstairs walls and ceiling. Windows, doors and Velux's used are all high quality double glazed units, which seal very well. We commissioned several upgrades to the 'standard' package, (such as PVT soffits and superb hardwood staircase) which we feel really finish the package. The insulation chosen for the new ceiling was the low-profile foil/plastic/foil layered type, which massively improved the head-height (one of our real concerns!) There was a bit of a delay in kicking off the job, which we understood was due to work pressure, however once it was kicked off, the process was smooth and we were involved in any decisions. Head office kept us well up to date of how we were tracking to completion, and we had regular site visits and consults from Russell our project manager. We were really amazed at the speed at which the new roof structure came together. The site crew (Billy and Rob) always acted professionally and safely, with high regard for quality. CG also provided electricians, plumbers, plasterers, and general handymen, and we can only praise them very highly. Overall, We are really happy with our new loft conversion, and would not hesitate to recommend CG.

Could not be happier
Charles Grosvenor did a loft conversion on my 12-year-old house. It took a 3-bed semi and transformed it to give me two extra bedrooms and a shower room. From the first contact I had, I experienced nothing but professional and helpful people. The quoting process was what I’d been crying out for- a rapid and straightforward understanding of the job, the costs and the milestones. I had total confidence in them from the beginning. The work itself was like wizardry- transforming my house with minimum disruption and maximum impact. They put in steel beams, new floor joists, six new windows, boarded, insulated, put up walls and gave me new stairs in four days! The plumbing, electrics, plastering etc were all delivered well within the six weeks timeframe I was quoted. I was communicated with throughout; with next steps always made clear and I felt like my project mattered to them as much as it did to me. My loft conversion was on time and on budget, all delivered with excellent customer care. I knew who to speak to if I wanted to tweak something or get the little snags sorted. I am absolutely over the moon with the new floor I now have- it has transformed my home and I can’t fault Charles Grosvenor for their staff, service and the result. I throughly recommend this company- on all fronts!

I had a loft conversion with Charles Grosvenor earlier this year. The sales consultant was very friendly and clear on what type of conversion I could have and clearly went through the step by step process of having the conversion. My quote was very specific and I could see exactly what I was paying for. Throughout the planning process the office kept in touch to inform me of each and every stage. The job was not only done swiftly, with the minimum of disruption to us living in the house, but also to a very high standard. I had regular meetings with the supervisor who updated me on the progress of the job and I felt that I was listened to and my needs were met every time. All the trades men were professional and showed the utmost respect to me, my children and surrounding neighbours. There was also always someone in the office I could talk to whenever I needed. As a single working mother of two I felt that my house was always in safe hands with this company and would highly recommend them.

Although it wasn't the biggest loft conversion ever done, we were concerned because we were lowering the ceilings on the first floor and this might spoil the character and the feel of the house.

We had a great experience from start to finish, thanks Charles Grosvenor. We have a small grade 2 listed terrace in Oxford and adding another bedroom has made a big difference. CG dealt with both planning and listed building consent effectively and were extremely competitively priced compared to firms in Oxford. Our two builders, Dave and Craig were absolutely lovely. We were amazed how quickly it progressed and how little disruption it caused. Bob, the owner, visits weekly to check on progress and is also very nice!

Something from nothing
We have a large bungalow, but with a low pitched roof, very little loft space and no potential to make use of it. We decided to explore the prospect of a loft conversion. An internet search for providers in the Midlands immediately landed on the Charles Grosvenor website - full repertoire of what we wanted and only a few miles away. From the initial contact, relations were congenial and positive. Increasing the roof pitch suddenly liberated 500 sq ft pf floorspace, and a slight sacrifice at one end of a bedroom allowed access from the hall. The build took place in Autumn 2014 and, in spite of some foul weather, the house was kept weather-tight throughout. We were continuously informed of progress through the stages of the work. The end result is superb and all of our dealings with Charles Grosvenor people, their contractors and sub-contractors, were cordial throughout - particularly noteworthy as the process was lengthy and disruptive. We would have no hesitation in recommending Charles Grosvenor to others and indeed have already done so. Alex Grieve 20/06/2016

Excellent Loft Conversion Company
We were attracted to Charles Grosvenor as we needed an additional bedroom for our Edwardian terraced house. Right from the planning stage we were impressed by their professionalism, being able to create a good design and planning the complete package at a competitive price. Once local authority permission was obtained the project went ahead at a steady pace. There was a experienced builder and joiner who kept us informed on daily progress by the team, which also included plumbers, electricians and plasterers. They also undertook a re-tile with Spanish slate tiles. Russell, the supervisor, visited weekly to review progress and sort any problems. We were and remain very happy with the finished room, which acts as a lovely, en suite guest room and doubles as my wife's sewing room, being beautifully light and airy with three Velux windows. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

First rate loft conversion company
We used Charles Grosvenor Ltd last year for our loft conversion. The whole process was very efficiently handled from the planning stage through delivery of materials and the build itself and we were kept very well informed as to what was going to be happening and when. CG took care of all the appropriate permissions (permitted development, building control, etc.) Their staff were very friendly, polite and helpful and came up with good ideas for ways we could modify the design to better suit our requirements as the build progressed, as well as carrying out the work to a very high standard. They were always up front about costs and what was or wasn't included in the quote and the price for the conversion was very competitive. We are very pleased with the end result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Top Quality Loft Conversion (Summer 2015)
Having made the decision to have a loft conversion, rather than move house, I contacted Charles Grosvenor after seeing a loft conversion, which they had built for my friend. I was very impressed with the extra space, which had been created and with the quality of the workmanship. One of their surveyors arranged a visit and took me through the options and provided me with a sketch of how it would look. Due to the style of my house a “wrap-around” dormer was the proposed solution, providing the best use of the roof space. The Project Manager then visited me and went through the build process and was happy to answer any questions. I was kept up to date with all the stages of the build: from the delivery of the materials to the dismantling of the scaffolding. The build took a few weeks. Everyone involved always arrived on time to start work at 8am prompt. They were always polite, tidied up and let me know what the next stage would be and who would be doing it. The Project Manager made regular visits as the build progressed and if I had any questions, they were always answered in a timely fashion. The finished loft conversion is fabulous and has provided a bedroom with an en-suite, which has also added value to my home. The whole process was very professional at every step from the initial survey through to the completion of the build. I would not hesitate in recommending Charles Grosvenor to friends and family.

First Class Experience
We asked a few loft conversion companies to see what they could to do with our loft space and we had many differing results, but Charles Grosvenor came in and listened to what we wanted and then produced a sketch plan of what we wanted all as part of the quote. When we agreed to the work, CG looked after a aspects of the build from drawing up plans, getting the correct permissions, all the way through to completion. The trades men were all kind and polite and produced an excellent finish. The speed at which the conversion was excellent too. Overall a very positive building experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them on. Our son and daughter are over the moon with their new rooms.

Great Loft!
Our experience of using Charles Grosvenor was very positive. We asked them to create a bedroom and en-suite in our loft. The work included re-shaping and re-tiling our roof completely. The service from both sales and project management people was personal and they quickly responded to emails and phone queries. All the tradespeople were friendly and got on with the job. When a gale blew in the day after our tiles were taken off, Gil (fitter) and his son drove more than 20 miles at 8pm on a Saturday night to batten down the tarpaulin again. The only slight issue we had was with them finding a tiler - we had to do this ourselves in the end. Overall a great result and a low-stress building experience.

Superior quality work, friendly and honest company
Overall it was a great experience, we always felt informed at every stage and the co-ordination of resources was very organised. The fitting team and trades were brilliant, really nice bunch of guys, hard working, dedicated and approachable. Even though we have quite a small property, the quality and usability of the new space is excellent and has added value to our house and solved our space issue perfectly.

Fantastic job
Brilliant job from start to finish. Our building team were excellent and when we found out halfway through the job we needed a new boiler, it was handled efficiently and replaced without any delay to the job! We would thoroughly recommend Charles Grosvenor, our loft is transformed and looks amazing. Thank you

Loft Conversion
We had a dormer loft conversion to create more space including an extra bedroom and bathroom. The whole project was run efficiently and with a great end result. The office and project manager, Bob, were informative and always quick to deal with any queries. All the staff who worked on site were considerate, respectful and tidy. Rich, Darren and Eddie went out of their way to help. I would recommend Charles Grosvenor to anyone thinking of a loft conversion.

Loft Conversion 2015
Overall we are very pleased with the result. Things slowed down a bit towards the end with the guys off site a bit but overall it was good work and the guys were very considerate to the people living on site during the conversion work. The communication from the office was first rate, a major plus! I would certainly recommend their work.

A superb job!
Without exception, every one of your representatives who worked on site were uniformed, polite, tidy, respectful, considerate and obliging. Your office staff were really on the ball and provided the same level of courtesy and efficiency. You should be very proud of every one of them. We're so pleased we chose Charles Grosvenor Ltd!

Small loft conversion by Grosvenor
We had our loft conversion done by Charles Grosvenor recently. A simple loft conversion with one dormer, approx 18 sqm. Good points : * Overall the quality of the main work is fine and it looks good * Afterworks service is good * Cost of those works was correct compared to other companies. Survey was done properly. * Every time I had to deal with someone in the office, the person tried to help. Bad points: *The beginning of the works was postponed 6 times, from mid May to early October. * We were told that the works would last between 6 to 8 weeks. Works began on the 16th of September, and ended at the end of December. We were told crazy excuses. Very unprofessional. * Messy fitter: Fitter strongly damaged one room (extra costs for us), water came from the roof in another room, coffee spilled everywhere, nails left everywhere * Bad communication between different workers. I had to manage myself to prevent big mistakes to be done. I never had peace of mind. * Part of the scaffolding was erected in my neighbor's garden... without her permission. Scaffloding wasn't safe nor protected by a net, so small items were constantly falling. * The staircase wasn't manufactured properly and the fitter had to add pieces of wood so that the parts fit together. The velux frame was also damaged when the staircase was brought in. * After 8 weeks the skip was removed and never replaced. The front of my house was used as a skip and lots of rubbish was left hidden in the eaves.

Good service - good value
A company that specialised in loft conversions and the experience shows. Good service including getting approvals together with a simple schedule of stage payments. Good quality of work - no hidden extras. Our conversion took a month from start to finish including a weeks break for the plaster to dry.
