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 Maida Vale, answered.

Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Maida Vale?

In most cases, yes. Maida Vale sits within the City of Westminster, and much of the area particularly the streets around Clifton Gardens and the canal-side roads falls within designated conservation areas. This means many loft conversions require a full planning application rather than permitted development. Where a property is listed, listed building consent is needed in addition. Buildaway conducts a planning feasibility check on every Maida Vale project and manages all applications and building regulation submissions as standard.

How much does a loft conversion cost in Maida Vale?

Loft conversion costs in Maida Vale generally range from £44,000 to £82,000 or more depending on conversion type, planning route, and finish level. Velux conversions start from around £44,000–£54,000 where consented. Rear dormers typically range from £54,000–£70,000, and mansard conversions on larger Victorian or Edwardian properties can exceed £78,000. Buildaway provides free, fully itemised fixed-price quotes so your confirmed cost is clear before any work begins.

What types of loft conversion suit Maida Vale properties?

Maida Vale's predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks lend themselves well to rear dormer conversions, which are the most widely achieved type across W9. Larger semi-detached and end-of-terrace properties can accommodate mansard conversions subject to planning consent. Velux conversions remain an option on some properties where the ridge height is sufficient and where Westminster's conservation area guidance restricts more visible alterations. Buildaway assesses each property individually to identify the most suitable and plannable approach.

How long does a loft conversion take in Maida Vale?

On-site works for a Maida Vale loft conversion typically run 8–13 weeks depending on conversion type. Velux conversions take around 6–8 weeks, rear dormers 9–11 weeks, and mansard conversions 11–14 weeks. Where planning permission is required which covers the majority of Maida Vale projects the pre-construction phase adds a further 10–14 weeks. Buildaway sets out a complete project programme at consultation so you can plan around both the approval and construction timelines.

Does Buildaway handle design and construction for loft conversions in Maida Vale?

Yes. Buildaway delivers a fully integrated loft conversion service in Maida Vale covering every stage design, planning, structural construction, building regulations, finishing trades, and handover. All work is carried out by Buildaway's own in-house team with no subcontracting. That means one point of contact, consistent standards, and direct accountability from your first site visit to the completed room.

Are Buildaway's loft conversion specialists local to Maida Vale?

Yes. Buildaway's team covers Maida Vale and the surrounding W9 and W2 postcodes. We work regularly across Westminster's residential streets and have detailed working knowledge of the council's planning policies, conservation area designations, and building control requirements. That local experience means fewer surprises and better-prepared applications on every Maida Vale project we take on.

How do I plan a loft conversion in Maida Vale?

Planning starts with a feasibility survey covering your roof structure, available headroom, stair access options, and your property's listed building and conservation area status. Buildaway then manages structural assessments, measured drawings, pre-application discussions with Westminster where useful, full planning and building regulation submissions, and a detailed fixed-price cost plan all before any works are committed to. Contact Buildaway to arrange your free initial consultation.

Is a loft conversion worth it in Maida Vale?

Yes, for most homeowners it is. Maida Vale property values are strong, and the W9 market consistently rewards additional bedroom and floor area. A well-executed loft conversion here typically adds 15–20% or more to a property's value, and on larger Victorian terraces the uplift regularly exceeds the total project cost. Buildaway can walk you through the realistic return for your specific property type and conversion spec at your initial consultation.
