What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from our satisfied customers.
"I posted a bathroom job on a Bark App and within ten minutes I got a notification that I had about 5 responses. I spoke to Cormac of Buildaway first, explained my plans a bit and he asked where I was and when I told him, he said I am not far, I will come and view the place. In half an hour he was at the door and from his introduction in my mind I said I think he will do the job. He came in, I showed him and detailed my proposal, he listened and then checked, measured and said to me it is doable and will get back to me with a quotation detailing the scope of work. Indeed he delivered as promised, we discussed thoroughly in detail, checking everything, gave me ideas as well as listening to me. We agreed on a plan and he delivered. Any issues or worries I may have had, he was always available to explain and reassured me. Cormac is very good with communication, listening, advising, a hard worker and an excellent team/project leader. He has been transparent and I would not fault him in his deliverance of what he promised to do. I am extremely impressed, happy and proud of what he and his team of Archie, Ben and Danny delivered. They all went beyond and far, I am very grateful for what they have done for me. I would 100% recommend Buildaway for any building, renovation etc - an excellent team with a good rapport, team spirit and working harmoniously together. Thank you Team Buildaway. Thank you Cormac, you are a star. 👍"
Betty Lwanga
"I had a complete refurbishment of my bathroom by the Buildaway team recently. I received an excellent service from the outset with a very high standard of the completed work. Cormac was very responsive to my wish for a traditional period bathroom and helped me to source the suite, the tiles, the paneling and flooring. The team are respectful to the home generally. I am very pleased with the finished bathroom."
Philomena Mulcahy
"Cormac and his team were excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear and consistent both before and throughout the project, which made the whole process feel well managed. Cormac was really responsive on any questions I had and always contactable. Cormac provided really helpful advice on products and design, and clearly understood the look I was aiming for. That made a big difference and really helped me make decisions. The quality of the finish is excellent, which was one of my top priorities. The team took real care to get everything right, and Mo in particular has a fantastic eye for detail. They were also very professional day to day - always tidy, and cleaned up really thoroughly when taking away all rubbish at the end. They stuck to the agreed timelines, and pricing was transparent throughout, with clear communication on any issues as they arose. Overall, I’m really pleased with the result and felt I could trust them throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."
Sean Kelleher
"We recently used Buildaway for a full bathroom renovation at our home in Orpington, along with plastering, redecoration of both bedrooms and new spotlights installed in the bedrooms. From start to finish the experience was smooth and well organised. Cormac was easy to deal with, communication was clear and everything ran to the agreed timelines. The team turned up when they said they would and kept the house tidy each day, which made a big difference while we were living in the property during the works. The quality of the finish is excellent. The bathroom looks fantastic and the bedrooms feel completely refreshed. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cormac and the Buildaway team."
Helen Sivyer
"A great transformation of my bathroom into something modern and sleek. Cormac was professional to work with from the start and was very helpful in taking my ideas and sourcing products to fit the space and look aesthetically pleasing. I felt confident in working with the company as I could ask questions and I was also pleased to get suggestions and ideas. Cormac and Mo worked hard to deal with any issues that arose and they were friendly, helpful and I felt that I was valued as a customer. They were reliable and were always on time to arrive. Having a bathroom refurbished is a big decision and it was important for me to trust Cormac. I read reviews and met him in person to discuss the project and I am happy to give a positive recommendation to this company."
Vera Jajechnyk
"Cormac & his team were brilliant throughout our bathroom renovation project. From scoping to completion, Cormac was always very responsive, answering any questions we had on product selection and helped us source the products to get the best price. His team worked extremely hard and a big shoutout to Greg for his attention to detail! We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Buildaway for any building project in the future."

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about loft conversions in Belgravia, answered.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Belgravia?
Yes, in virtually every case. Belgravia falls within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the City of Westminster depending on the exact street, and the area is almost entirely covered by conservation area designations. The majority of Belgravia's residential properties are also listed, meaning both listed building consent and full planning permission are typically required before any roof alteration can proceed. Permitted development rights are severely restricted here. Buildaway conducts a thorough planning feasibility assessment on every Belgravia project and manages all consent applications and building regulation submissions as standard.
What types of loft conversion are possible in Belgravia?
Belgravia's residential stock is dominated by Regency and early Victorian stucco-fronted terraces and townhouses, most of which are Grade II listed. The conversion type that best suits this architecture and that planning authorities are most likely to consent to is the mansard, which sits behind the parapet and maintains the roofline character these streets are known for. Rear dormer conversions are achievable on some properties where the rear elevation allows. Velux installations are considered where ridge height permits but are subject to the same conservation and listed building scrutiny. Buildaway assesses every Belgravia property individually to identify what is both structurally viable and plannable.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Belgravia?
Loft conversion costs in Belgravia typically range from £52,000 to £95,000 or more, reflecting the listed building complexity, the planning route required, and the standard of finish expected in SW1W and SW1X. Velux conversions where consented start from around £52,000–£62,000. Rear dormers generally range from £62,000–£78,000, and mansard conversions on Belgravia townhouses can exceed £90,000 given the structural and heritage considerations involved. Buildaway provides free, fully itemised fixed-price quotes so your confirmed cost is clear before any work is agreed.
How long does a loft conversion take in Belgravia?
On-site construction typically runs 9–14 weeks depending on conversion type and structural complexity. Velux conversions take around 6–8 weeks on site, rear dormers 9–12 weeks, and mansard conversions 12–15 weeks. Because listed building consent and full planning permission are required on the vast majority of Belgravia projects, the pre-construction approval phase adds a further 12–16 weeks. Buildaway provides a complete project programme at consultation covering both the consent and build timelines.
Are Buildaway's loft conversion specialists experienced in Belgravia?
Yes. Buildaway's loft conversion team works across Belgravia and the surrounding SW1W and SW1X postcodes and carries detailed working knowledge of the heritage and planning frameworks that govern this part of Central London. Our experience spans listed building consent applications, conservation area appraisals, and the specific construction methods required when working on Regency and Victorian stock of this calibre. That depth of experience is directly applied to every Belgravia project from the first feasibility visit through to sign-off.
Does Buildaway handle both design and construction for loft conversions in Belgravia?
Yes. Buildaway delivers a fully integrated loft conversion service in Belgravia covering design, heritage and planning applications, listed building consent, structural construction, building regulation compliance, finishing, and handover. All work is carried out by Buildaway's own in-house team with no subcontracting at any point. Given the standard these properties demand, having a single in-house team responsible for every element of the project is not just convenient it is essential.
How do I start planning a loft conversion in Belgravia?
Planning starts with a detailed feasibility survey covering roof structure, available headroom, stair access options, listed building grade, and your property's specific conservation area designation. Buildaway then manages structural calculations, measured drawings, pre-application discussions with the relevant planning authority, listed building and full planning submissions, building regulation applications, and a complete fixed-price cost plan all before any works proceed. Early and well-prepared engagement with the planning authority is essential in Belgravia, and our team handles this process in full on your behalf.
Is a loft conversion a worthwhile investment in Belgravia?
Yes. Belgravia is one of the most valuable residential addresses in the world, and the premium attached to additional floor area in SW1W or SW1X is substantial. A well-executed loft conversion in Belgravia typically adds 15–20% or more to a property's market value, and on larger townhouses the absolute uplift regularly exceeds the total project cost by a considerable margin. Buildaway can give you a clear and realistic picture of the value addition for your specific property type and conversion specification at your initial consultation.
