What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from our satisfied customers.
“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
“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
“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…”
Michael Marks
“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
“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…”
Georgina Ehmcke
“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…”

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about loft conversions in Mayfair, answered.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Mayfair?
As a guide, loft conversion in Mayfair (W1J and W1K) runs about £30,000–£42,000+ for a Velux or roof-light scheme, £42,000–£62,000+ for a dormer, and £55,000–£72,000++ 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 Mayfair?
A Mayfair 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 W1J and W1K terraces and cannot be rushed. Buildaway starts that clock early.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Mayfair?
Not always, but assume it might. Mayfair lofts run into conservation-area policy, listed-building consent and - for W1J and W1K 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 Mayfair?
Buildaway delivers Velux/rooflight, rear dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions across Mayfair. Which suits your W1J and W1K home depends on roof pitch, headroom and what Westminster City Council will accept - a mansard that works on one street near Grosvenor Square and Mount Street may be refused on the next. Buildaway surveys before recommending.
Do Buildaway handle both design and construction for Mayfair lofts?
Both, on one contract. For Mayfair clients Buildaway handles the drawings, the structural engineering, the consents and the build itself. That matters on W1J and W1K lofts more than most jobs, because the design and the structure are the same conversation.
Are your loft specialists local to Mayfair?
Buildaway covers Mayfair and the wider W1J and W1K area year-round. Having converted lofts on this housing stock repeatedly, we know its constraints before the survey starts - and we are nearby long after handover.
