What Our Clients Say
Real reviews from our satisfied customers.
“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.
“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
“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
“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
“We’ve had a genuinely fantastic experience with Buildaway. Cormac was ultra responsive and excellent at communicating with us throughout our project. The quality of the work was excellent - so much so, that we extended our project by adding a range of other building renovations to our original ask, each completed with care and precision…”
Kiran Collier
“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 Pimlico, answered.
How much does a loft conversion cost in Pimlico?
Most Pimlico loft conversions land between £35,000–£45,000 and £45,000–£55,000, with the larger mansard schemes around St George's Square and Dolphin Square reaching £65,000++. Hidden costs catch people out - party-wall awards, structural engineering and scaffolding are real line items, not extras. Buildaway includes them in the quote rather than after it.
How long does a loft conversion take in Pimlico?
A Pimlico 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 SW1V terraces and cannot be rushed. Buildaway starts that clock early.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion in Pimlico?
Many Pimlico loft conversions fall under permitted development, but not all. Around SW1V a rear dormer is often acceptable while anything altering the front roof slope usually is not. Conservation-area designation and listed status remove permitted development rights entirely, so Westminster City Council approval becomes essential. Buildaway establishes your position before drawing anything.
What types of loft conversion do you offer in Pimlico?
We handle Velux, dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard schemes throughout Pimlico. End-of-terrace homes around St George's Square and Dolphin Square often suit a hip-to-gable that transforms the floorplan; mid-terrace SW1V property usually points to a rear dormer. Buildaway advises from survey rather than from a brochure.
Do Buildaway handle both design and construction for Pimlico lofts?
Yes. Buildaway takes Pimlico lofts from feasibility survey and structural design through party-wall notices, Building Control, steels, stairs, insulation, glazing and finish. One contract across every SW1V project, so nobody can blame the engineer for the builder's work or vice versa.
Are your loft specialists local to Pimlico?
Yes, Pimlico is core Buildaway territory. We convert lofts across SW1V regularly and understand both the buildings around St George's Square and Dolphin Square and the Westminster City Council policies that govern them.
