What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from our satisfied customers.
“The quality of the work, their high standards, and their professionalism, along with effective and proactive communication made a refreshing change from the builders I have used in the past. Even when we changed our minds and ideas during the job Cormac’s patience and support emphasised that he wanted to make sure that the finished product was exactly what we wanted…”

“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…”

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…”

What really impressed me was Cormac's honesty…”

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about loft conversions in Bickley, answered.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Bickley?
As a guide, loft conversion in Bickley (BR1) runs about £35,000–£45,000 for a Velux or roof-light scheme, £45,000–£55,000 for a dormer, and £65,000++ for a hip-to-gable or mansard. UK guides put dormers around £40,000–£60,000 and mansards £50,000–£80,000, with London consistently at the top of those ranges. Buildaway fixes your figure in writing after survey.
How long does a loft conversion take in Bickley?
A Bickley loft conversion typically takes 6 to 10 weeks on site. A dormer runs nearer 6–7, a mansard or hip-to-gable 8–10 or more. That excludes the paperwork ahead of it: party-wall awards alone can take 4–8 weeks in BR1 terraces and cannot be rushed. Buildaway starts that clock early.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Bickley?
Not always, but assume it might. Bickley lofts run into conservation-area policy, listed-building consent and - for BR1 flats - the lease. Buildaway resolves the Bromley Council position and the freeholder position before design begins, because that answer determines the whole scheme.
What types of loft conversion do you offer in Bickley?
Rooflight, dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard - Buildaway builds all four in Bickley. The right answer for your BR1 roof depends on ridge height, the stair, and what Bromley Council will consent. We establish that before proposing a design.
Do Buildaway handle both design and construction for Bickley lofts?
Yes - design, consents and construction under one Buildaway contract in Bickley. Splitting those across separate firms is where BR1 loft projects usually go wrong, because the gaps between them are exactly where cost and delay live.
Are your loft specialists local to Bickley?
We are in Bickley constantly. Buildaway knows BR1 roof stock - the headroom you actually get, where the party wall sits, and how Bromley Council treats dormers here. Local experience makes our feasibility answers reliable rather than optimistic.
