Betty Lwanga
“I was recommended Buildaway by a colleague as I was impressed by the work they had done for my colleague. From the moment I contacted Cormac, I knew I was in good hands. He was incredibly friendly and accommodating right from the start. The very next day, he was at my property, taking measurements and discussing design options. What really impressed me was Cormac's honesty…”
Nana A.
“Greg's attention to detail and dedication elevated both the experience and the result - he certainly knows his way around a tile. In addition to the bathroom refit, Cormac replaced all the plastic switches, sockets and pull-cords in the house with brushed brass. Highly recommended and will certainly work with the Buildaway team again…”
Kane Dempsey
“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…”
Vera Jajechnyk
“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
“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…”

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about loft conversions in Maida Vale, answered.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Maida Vale?
Buildaway prices Maida Vale lofts from survey. As a working guide across W9: £35,000–£45,000 for Velux, £45,000–£55,000 for dormer, £65,000++ for mansard or hip-to-gable. What moves it is headroom, the steel design and whether the stair can land without losing a room below. The written quote is fixed before work starts.
How long does a loft conversion take in Maida Vale?
Allow roughly 6–10 weeks of build for a loft in Maida Vale, plus lead-in for design, Building Control and party-wall notices. In W9 the notices are usually the long pole, not the construction. Buildaway serves them at the start so your programme is not held hostage to a neighbour's response window.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Maida Vale?
Not always, but assume it might. Maida Vale lofts run into conservation-area policy, listed-building consent and - for W9 flats - the lease. Buildaway resolves the Westminster City 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 Maida Vale?
Buildaway delivers Velux/rooflight, rear dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions across Maida Vale. Which suits your W9 home depends on roof pitch, headroom and what Westminster City Council will accept - a mansard that works on one street near Elgin Avenue and Little Venice may be refused on the next. Buildaway surveys before recommending.
Do Buildaway handle both design and construction for Maida Vale lofts?
Yes - design, consents and construction under one Buildaway contract in Maida Vale. Splitting those across separate firms is where W9 loft projects usually go wrong, because the gaps between them are exactly where cost and delay live.
Are your loft specialists local to Maida Vale?
Yes. Buildaway works across Maida Vale and the surrounding W9 streets regularly, so we know the roof profiles around Elgin Avenue and Little Venice and what Westminster City Council has accepted nearby. That precedent matters: knowing what got consented on the next street is often the difference between approval and refusal.
