Delighted with our L shaped dormer loft conversion. We went with LMB because they were a local firm and their quote was competitive. We went to see a nearby job they had completed, the work looked good and the customers happy.
We were very happy with the design layout and felt the architect did a good job making the best possible use of the space available. Dean and the onsite team were also excellent and happy to make minor adjustments where necessary, this really helped ensure we got the end product we were after.
The build itself was quick and efficient and carried out to a good standard. It took a bit of chasing to get the snagging completed and joanna was very helpful with this.
We would recommend LMB.
Overall we were very pleased with the work carried out by LMB. Like most large projects, there were issues, however, LMB were quick to rectify these. All Tradesmen were professional, courteous and efficient, especially the builders, roofers and plasterers. The work took a little longer then expected, but was to a high standard. Having a Loft conversion has made such a difference in space, but also added value to our property. We would not hesitate in recommending LMB.
Our loft is wonderful - thank you LMB. The build work was done to a very high standard thanks to Laurence and his team who were very knowledgeable. All tradesmen were polite and friendly, which was really important to us as we had a toddler at home most days. In fact our little boy even knew all their names and enjoyed chatting to them. Joanna managed the project superbly for us. We would recommend LBM based on the finished result. We did have some delays and concerns at the start but Joanna ensured everything ran smoothly as soon as we voiced these. The project did run over time-wise but came in exactly on budget as quoted and we are very happy.

LMB have recently done our loft conversation and we are delighted with the quality of the work. Lee and his team have been brilliant to work with and we would happily recommend them to anyone who is looking to create an amazing space upstairs. From initial quote and throughout the project we have been impressed with the responsiveness of the team to our questions and the attention to detail in getting all parts of the project completed. Thanks Lee!
We have just had a hip to gable loft conversion with a walk in wardrobe, Very good service right from the beginning, quote was very accurate. Builders excellent, kept us informed, arrived on time, very tidy and gave us good suggestions. The build was finished within timescale and all trades were professional and did a good job.
We have recently had our loft conversion carried out by LMB and are very pleased. The work was carried out in good time and to a high standard. Any minor issues were addressed at the time and we are pleased with the outcome. We would recommend anyone in the area to use LMB for such work
Had a hip to gable loft conversion built by LMB. From the moment Lee came to survey the property we knew it was going to be a professional job. All the trades used are high quality and we could make changes and request updates at any time. Also the whole team is always on hand should you need to speak to someone. Overall very happy and highly recommended. George.

From quote to completion went very smoothly and, given they were working above us, whilst we worked from home, surprisingly unobtrusive. Every contractor was polite and respectful and Lee and the office we're there with us every step of the way. Excellent finish. We felt in good hands and we were not let down. We have a beautifully finished new room, a fabulous en suite and a gorgeous new stairs. I would thoroughly recommend LMB.
Taking on a house build of any kind can be daunting and overwhelming but we are delighted with our new loft. Having recently completed a double hip-to-gable loft conversion, I am very glad I chose LMB. I obtained several quotes and LMB were the most competitive, they were the only firm which met my specific criteria and I felt reassured of their high street presence. The team, particularly Matt & Rob, were both professional and courteous. Lee and the office were always available to be contacted and particularly patient of initial concerns and queries, of which I had many. Despite lockdown I was surprised at how quickly the loft came together. There were a few minor issues, which is expected during a large scale loft conversion, however they were dealt with swiftly which is a credit to the firm. Our new loft space is exceptional and we are so pleased with the end result and thus I would not hesitate to recommend LMB.
It has been a pleasure working with LMB - right from my first visit with Ricki all the way through to completion, we were kept informed all the way throughout with all questions answered. I particularly appreciated the WhatsApp group which made it really easy to stay in touch, see progress throughout and plan for. Every person we worked with was professional, polite, easy to have around and a pleasure to work with. I felt reassured throughout, that they really had our interests at heart and the work was great. I'd wholeheartedly recommend LMB.
LMB have installed a rear dormer at my property to a high standard and with great efficiency. The team have always been helpful and responsive to any queries or requests I've made throughout the build. All the contractors used by LMB have been excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend LMB or go to Lee in future for any further work needed.
Very pleased with the 2 x bed loft conversation. We used LMB for a dormer loft conversion recently. We have found them to be professional, efficient open and honest. In this process we have had 2 storms and COVID-19 outbreak, and I must say that Lee (MD) and his team have been very professional and efficient. LMB are true experts at what they do. Communication has been on point, and we have had speedy response to all our queries. A WhatsApp group that was created and was definitely a great reassurance and great for regular updates. The standard of work has been of a high quality. Tommy and his team were really efficient with the initial build and always cleared up after them self. Overall all contractors that worked for LMB are highly experienced in the work they provided us. I would highly recommend this company to friends and family.
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality
Lee from LMB delivered exactly what he said he would. very very pleased with the finished rooms and more space than we thought we would get. Highly recommend
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value
I would highly recommend LMB, For a loft conversion. All trades left my property clean and tidy. They were quick reliable and very professional in every manner.
Big thanks to Lee and his team.

Generally very happy, with a few small hiccups. We used LMB for a dormer loft conversion recently. The core LMB team was great. They were considerate, hard-working, and got the main building work done very quickly. Special shout out to Brandon the foreman who was excellent. Most of the trades that LMB subcontracted to were also very good quality. There were a few small hiccups with the plumbing, and one fire door, but these were sorted out quickly with no extra cost to us. Lee was courteous and helpful throughout, and we got good support from the office team. There were a few small additional unexpected costs, but mostly the costs were in line with LMB’s quote. The final product is very high quality and we are very happy with it. Would recommend.
We used LMB to build a 2 bedroom loft conversion. The whole process has been easy and stress free. Lee and his team have all been highly professional throughout and we are really pleased with the quality of the build. Will definitely use again for further projects.
We called 3 companies to quote for our loft, we did our research on LMB which they had the best reviews and the website was very professional I met the MD Lee who gave sound advice and spoke to us about how the process would work and the set up which was brilliant. I had spoken to a few previous clients and we felt we were in good hands, the loft quote was the most expensive but I can see why - the work is outstanding. The office staff are brilliant and always on hand to offer help and advice. Highly recommend LMB Group very well organised and trusted company. thank you
LMB were very professional throughout the loft extension. Rob worked very hard in completing the structure of the conversion and he always seemed to be working whenever he was here. Everyone who worked on the conversion were professional, reliable and friendly; especially with our five year old twins being around a lot. We are very happy with the end result and the space is a lot bigger than we thought it would be. Thanks LMB for our loft conversion.
Very professional and delivered the project on time. Loft size was bigger and better than we expected. If there were any issues Lee and team would deal with issues quickly.
Lee and team we thank you for a beautiful loft conversion.
Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
We had a dormer extension built on our semi-detached chalet house. The builder work started earlier than expected and has been completed within about 3 months. The builder was always on time, we came across a structural issue as we wanted a wall knocked down which wasn't on the architect drawings, however we worked with Lee and the builder and this was resolved relatively quickly and kept to what we wanted. All tradespeople have been polite and we are very happy with the work they have done. The group messaging worked well for us as we knew when people were coming and could ask questions anytime. What could have been extremely stressful was made less by everyone working and communicating with one another well. Thank you LMB.

LMB Group recently completed our loft conversation and we are delighted with the result. We were impressed with the builders, as they were professional, friendly, and courteous, and their work was of a high standard. The whole project was well managed by Lee. He was always available and accommodating to our specific requirements. He set up a unique WhatsApp group for our build, which was very helpful. We were consulted throughout the process to ensure that we were happy with the work. The various stages of the build (loft build, electrics, plumbing etc) fell into place like pieces of a puzzle.
The work was completed within the time frame and all rubbish and building materials were cleared away. We always dreamed of having a loft conversion, and LMB Group made this dream come true! Thanks very much for making this happen!

LMB Group are wonderful, our extension is amazing, they provided constant care, support and hard work. Deadlines were always met and the workforce were extremely professional. We now have a wonderful home that we dreamed of. Thank you all of you at LMB Group
LMB have recently completed a loft extension within a 10 week programme. We had a couple of meetings and several cups of coffee with Lee during September as part of our evaluation and tender process. Lee was extremely professional and provided some sound advice which other parties never mentioned. We had a strong sense that LMB were the right company to award the contract. LMB were not the cheapest but as the saying goes " you pays your money and takes your choice". Big ask for LMB, pre contract we requested the keys be handed over by the 20th December. Lee gave us the assurance that he could make the completion date and basically we proceeded to contract. Once initial fees were exchanged the programme went into build mode during October. All of the LMB resources working on the project were extremely professional, arrived each day on time and cleaned up at the end of the day. 3 months post build the quality of the build is amazing and citing complementary comments from friends and family viewing the extension. We would highly recommended LMB to other parties "no problem". Very well managed project and built to a high standard, Thank you Lee and LMB Team. Mike and Carlotta

After many quotes, we chose LMB Group, Lee promised that he could meet our requirements of a large loft room and en-suite with at least 2.2mtr head room.
They started on the agreed date, but lockdown stopped work on day one after the steels were delivered. Lee kept us informed and work commenced a couple weeks later, the bulk of the work was being done without needing to access the inside of the house. Brandon was leading the team on-site and kept us informed of progress and if there were any unforseen problems (only one, on the position of the WC in the en-suite and they worked with us to resolve it). Brandon and his team got on very quickly and the dormer was built to our requirements in just under 4 weeks including installing the new staircase (Would recommend Brandon and his team). After this the Electricians, plumber and plasterers completed there works, which left the carpenter to do his work, which took a bit of time. We are pleased with the room we got, and the job was completed in the time scales quoted.
We have had a loft conversion and a Double storey side & back extension done through LMB. The main positive of using this company, more than once over the years, was their ability to work quickly, keep to deadlines & be flexible in how we wanted to adjust plans That were initially laid out. The work is of high standard and they are careful to meet all regulations. Their team are very personable, always polite and inclusive and this is important as the job can take months to complete. They are all trustworthy and I have always had peace of mind when leaving them to work alone in my house. They are always happy to work weekends & longer hours internally if need be. We have known Lee for a number of years and he is our first port of call when it comes to any domestic/commercial building requests. We are now looking into having the garden landscaped. Its an excellent company, knowledgable, very hands on and seem to have an endless queue of tradesman available to work. We are more than pleased with the end results!!!
"I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend LMB Group Loft Conversion Specialists to my friends and family!
I wanted a reliable and trustworthy building firm.
Navigating the construction industry can often be daunting, risky and expensive. For people needing reassurance, I found LMB offers a well-rehearsed, standardized working method that has given my family and I the results we were looking for, combined with their approved building specialists with proven and established experience. The workmanship was fully backed by a friendly professional admin team, always available via email or phone to give answers to our questions.
I wanted to keep costs under control.
LMB provided me with a clear itemized payment schedule and kept to the original quote. This was key to helping me maintain course on budget throughout the project. I did encounter some unexpected costs in connection with building issues and, out of inexperience, selected more expensive fixtures and fittings out of a range of choices that were not included in my initial quote.
I wanted to be kept informed.
Joanna was crucial in informing me of project updates and helping to communicate our expectations effectively to Lee and contractors. Charis and Shirley were always happy to explain any financial queries and quickly settle arising concerns, making the project experience a very good one.
I am very grateful to MD Lee who managed our project. Tirelessly available at any time of day, in person or by phone, liaising directly with contractors on our behalf, offering his experience and solutions and prompting progress.
All contractors were considerate, professional and tidy. A number were exceptional, like Laurence and Bobby on structural building work, Agim and Team on plastering, Eddie and Ryan on tiling and Kevin on carpentry.
LMB Group and Team, thank you for giving us the home we were hoping for – super job, we love it!
I would call upon your services again any day."
We recently had our existing one bedroom loft conversion rebuilt completely (ripping out the old loft and starting again) and converted into an L shape loft by LMB. This has been something we have always wanted to do. We felt LMB were the right company for the job and we are extremely pleased with the outcome. We now have 2 beautiful spacious rooms and a shower room.
The team of workmen who carried out the work on our loft were punctual, reliable, friendly, professional, the quality of their work was excellent and they kept our home tidy at the end of each working day. They were also very considerate about ensuring the safety of our home especially as we have two little children. Simply put, we would highly recommend LMB.
Thanks to Lee and team, we are very happy and we love our new loft!
Professional from my first enquiry to the office right the way through to the end of the hand over. Quick, efficient, clean, courteous and most importantly the quality is outstanding. Every trades person that came to my home put in 100%. Also I have to say what was really great was the constant communication between all of us, myself and my wife felt in the loop and included at all times due to Lee setting up a Whatsapp Group - it was a great idea! LMB Group really do know their stuff. I highly recommend!
LMB Group have just completed a single story wrap around extension with a great living space on the ground floor. The site foreman Patrick and his team were on site every day and the workmanship is first class, it was completed in 12 weeks which was 2 weeks before the agreed schedule and the ides they gave me to enable the whole start top finish look. It has been totally worth the times when i had no kitchen to cook but they did set me up a temporary place to do my cooking for the family! The office team were great, Joanna was always there to answer any questions we had and the experience that I have had I would not hesitate to recommend LMB Group to anyone looking for first class job. Money well spent!
Having had a loft conversion in 2016 with LMB, we are extremely pleased with how it looks 4 years later. Conversion has provided us with a large master bedroom with an ensuite. The bedroom is as perfect as it was when first completed, no settling cracks or faults . Lee the director was very helpful in our decision making and when any issues arose, resolved them to our satisfaction . One of our best decisions, NO regrets . Elaine and Peter.

Fantastic service from start to finish! We were made to feel very at ease and relaxed about everything. Lee, his team of tradesmen and everyone in the LMB Group office are so lovely it made the whole process flow so well. We now have a beautiful new bedroom and bathroom - perfect! Highly Recommend
LMB Group completed a Loft Conversion on my house just before Christmas. Firstly LMB were very competitively priced, the build happened on schedule and all the workmen were pleasant and efficient. Lee was always on hand to contact if we had any questions and we found him very reliable and helpful. The build happened in just over 11 weeks and we are delighted with the results and everything was ready in time for Christmas. I have no hesitation in recommending Lee and his company LMB Group.
LMB carried out a loft conversion and I am pleased with the result.The work started with Laurence and Bobby who carried out the bulk of the conversion. They were both very good and carried out the work quietly and efficiently with little impact on our daily lives. The roofer, electrician, plasterers, carpenter, Tiler and plumber were also very good. Joanna, Lee and the team in the office were easy to contact and very helpful.
We used our own architect who was a little optimistic with the space but Laurence and Bobby were able to explain our options. Extra steel beam being required incurred an additional cost on top of the quotation. Also, the building inspector required work on all the doors in our house to meet fire regulations which also cost extra but these things always happen when doing major building works. As long as you bare this in mind your build should go as well as ours did. I would not hesitate in recommending Lee and his team to my family and friends, in fact I have already recommended them to friends and passers by who have expressed an interest.
LMB carried out a loft conversion and I am pleased with the result and would recommend them. The tradespeople LMB use are excellent. All were polite, good at their job, helpful and approachable.
The work started with Brandon and Darren an apprentice building the bulk of the conversion. They were both very good and carried out the work quietly and efficiently with little impact on our daily lives. Brandon was a great communicator and clearly explained each step of the work. We were lucky to have such a helpful and skilled worker.
The next stages involved electricians and plasterers. The plasterers finished a great job in one day and the electricians were accommodating regarding positioning of sockets etc.
Following on from this the roof tilers and bricklayers arrived and worked competently.
The final stage involved Jermaine the carpenter. He is another great worker; friendly, obliging and skilled.
At the end of the project Rob carried out snagging and clearing up- He did a good job.
During the build, LMB are easily contactable and Joanna, Lee and the team do their best to answer questions and sort out any issues.
Although the loft conversion went well there were some aspects that could be improved. The architect’s plans were a little optimistic regarding the use of space, the engineer’s report resulted in an extra steel beam being required that incurred an additional £1500 cost on top of the quotation. Also, the building inspector required work on all the doors in our house to meet fire regulations. I think it is important for clients to examine the architects plans carefully and clarify the position regarding structural beams and fire doors at an early stage.
2 Months!! That's the 2 words that sums up the best part of the service we received from LMB, in the completion of our loft conversion.
After considering 10 potential building companies, I chose LMB primarily because of the initial assurances & discussions with Lee. However, from the 1st day of works I was impressed with the workmanship - the speed of construction was also impressive, with the structural work (inclusive of a re-roof) was completed in 3-4 weeks (Thanks Lawrence & Bobby). The wider team/skills followed thereafter; The excellent finishes from the plasterers (Thanks Agim) & the tiler (Thanks Eddie), the high quality & attention to detail of the plumber (Thanks Matt), the electrician (Thanks Pete), the carpenter (Thanks Jermaine), and last but not least - the diligence and perfectionism from the roofer (Thanks Steve).
Aside from the fantastic results and how pleased we are with our completed loft conversion, the fact that I am able to remember/name all the work team above - says something more about LMB! The LMB team (including Joanna & Charis in the office), met our expectations and always endeavoured to accommodate all our requirements!
Thanks Lee & the LMB Team!
Much Appreciated
Just had a loft conversion completed by Lee on my house and here is my verdict
Customer service
Top customer service. Lee provided us with advice and what is best for the build mainly on design and build. Lee would dedicate his time face to face in person.
The builders were so relatable and trustworthy. They were clean and tidy up each day. At the end of each day they would catchup with us and show me what was done and next stage.
The actual build
I am completely more than satisfied with the build. The main structure of the loft was up with the first week. The finished product was vert professional. There were no flaws with the build.
Price
We looked around for other loft companies and LMB was the best offer I got. But it also goes to say that the price depends on size and what you getting done in the build.
Gave me a discount which I could not refuse.
After service
There were few things that were not part of the actual build which I was not aware of and Lee’s builder came round and carried out the job. No questions asked. But he is ready to offer the after service within reasons.
All in all food price excellent customer service and last but not least top quality.
For those of you looking to get building work carried out I suggest get a quote at least from lee even if your looking elsewhere and I am sure you will not be disappointed.
We recently had a loft conversion carried out by LMB. Lee is a pleasure to deal with and has an excellent team behind him in the office. LMB offered us excellent value for money.
All of the builders and tradesmen were punctual, polite and carried out work to a high standard. We changed plans during the works. Lee and his foreman Dave and his team were able to support and guide us through the process.
I would not hesitate in recommending Lee and his team to my family and friends.
I have used LMB for a L shaped loft conversion compromising of two bedrooms and a shower room. The construction was supposed to take 12 weeks. It has in fact only taken 8 weeks. All tradesmen have completed work to a very high standard. We have used plasters, carpenters, tilers for the roof and bathroom, plumbers and electricians. I would definitely use all of them again.
The quote received was a very competitive price. Do be aware that you will incur extra costs for some works and upgrades so it is always good to have a contingency pot.
Over all the experience has been good and I am happy with the work completed in my home.
LMB carried out the first floor extension of my house. Despite being nervous about complications, I couldn’t have been happier with how they performed. They worked very diligently according to the schedule. They were transparent about any issues that arose and were proactive about providing solutions. They were very responsive to extra requests we made. And most importantly they are close to the timeline we had agreed. So I can thoroughly recommend them.
Our loft was completed in April and I am more than happy with the end result, it looks fantastic, there were no issues and everything ran very smoothly from start to finish - Lee and Joanna always kept us in the loop and made sure we were aware of every step that was coming up! I highly recommend LMB.
LMB did a second story extension to a bungalow. After getting several bids from both builders and loft conversion specialists I decided to go with LMB. They were the most professional and worked closely with the architect. They were comfortable with the project and provided a very competitive price. The tradesmen that carried out the project were all extremely competent and professional. The build was on time and whenever any issues arose LMB were quick to respond and resolve. I would highly recommend them to anyone doing either a loft conversion or larger build.
We chose LMB for our loft extension as the quote provided was very competitive in comparison to several others which we received. Once we were ready to start the work, this began very promptly and the job progressed a lot quicker than we had expected. On site, we had a foreman who was approachable and communicated the progress and various options to us well. The majority of trades on site were respectful of our home and took care to cover carpet etc. well and tidy up well before leaving. The job is now very close to completion with just a couple of outstanding snags which we fully anticipate being resolved well by LMB
I had a loft done by LMB they have done alot of work in my area and I can see why they are alway's busy. Great value for money.
The project was done in 8 weeks and the team was great they were here everyday and kept me in the loop with progress.
We had meetings with Lee & we felt we just wanted to handover to a company who dealt with the design and build, I can see why this company's banners are up.
We had a loft conversion and rear extension done by LMB and the whole process was worthwhile, it was done to a very good standard of work and was very well organised by Lee and his team, we had the loft done first and then had a weeks break and then the extension got started which to be honest we thought would cause myself and my family a lot of disruption but LMB gave us a temporary set up and they proceeded to work on site every day, the project was completed on time and the workforce were very good and worked incredibly as a team. The office staff were also great. I found by the time we moved back into our new amazing home we had invested our time well and this is a company that I know I can recommend to friends and family and have done so. Thank you so much Lee and all of LMB Group
From start to finish, we had a very positive experience. There had been some nervousness to start with, considering a loft conversion is a big task to take on. However, Lee and his team had been very helpful throughout the process which put us at ease. Lee explained the whole process very clearly. Rob was the in-charge of site work and his team were professional, flexible while being practical. We were given regular progress updates, work was completed to high standards and within stipulated time.
We used LMB to convert our bungalow into a house. Lee has been in regular contact throughout the build and this has been completed on time. The various trades have all done an excellent job and finished promptly. Any queries/problems have been dealt with quickly and efficiently and to our liking. We would recommend LMB.
Review update June 2019: Just thought I'd add to the below - 4 years after we'd had our loft done we had a minor issue arise with a window. This was very promptly repaired without hesitation so I thought I'd update this to let people know that as well as a good build experience, we've had a really easy aftercare experience too. Brilliant.
We had a superb experience with LMB and given the amount of coordination a loft extension project must involve, it went ahead with very little disruption.
They were extremely conscious that the clock was ticking for us as a new baby was imminent and it was 99% finished in 4 weeks!!! This was some 18 months ago now and I have had no reason to contact them to revisit any post extension issues etc, the workmanship was fantastic, and the quality of the different tradesmen that visited our home was superb. indeed, our decorator observed that they were the smoothest walls he had ever painted.
Our project manager was our main contact throughout the build. he was brilliant and I really enjoyed working with him. He was accessible when we needed him and visited our home frequently. I felt like I had a new friend at the end of it!
So thank you for a lovely new loft and a hassle free experience.

We are extremely happy with our new loft!! The whole project was about 10 weeks and with a baby on the way we wanted to make sure that the whole thing was done and dusted before the new arrival. Lee and the team were great. Rob was in charge of the project from start to finish and he was fantastic, always at hand to answer any queries and issues that we had. A couple of hiccups along the way but that is always expected, and communication could have been slightly better towards the end between the various contractors.
I would recommend LMB to anyone who is thinking of having works done to their house and will certainly use them again in the future.
Thanks to Lee, Rob and the team!!!!
LMB completed our 2 bedroom loft conversion with a high standard. The work started around the 10th March 2019 and was completed on the 25th May, 2019. All the contractors possessed the right skills. Brandon was a professional builder to the core, he possessed good communication skills , customer focused and attention to details. Brandon tidy up his work space at the end of each day before he leaves and updated us on progress made . The carpentry work was completed by Jermaine , was also done to a high standard of work , tidy up work area and kept to time. The plastering work was a swift job and professional finished, a good team . The plumbing and electrics were completed at different stages but was managed properly and neatly finished. The tiler did a good job, took his time but produce an excellent job.
The loft was well finished, there were few disruptions due to bad weather but the contractors were able to plan around this events and complete the roof in a timely way. There were few disruptions within the house during the constructions but each contractor created time to explain their plans before work commenced and worked around our timetable. In conclusion, the staff at the office attended to our concerns and they were actioned within a specified time frame. The contractors involved were great and were ready to get the job done. We have no hesistation in recommending LMB to anyone expanding their home.
LOFT CONVERSION Mid December 18 finished March 19.
Far less hassle than we anticipated with an outcome way above our expectations.
Our house is a mid-terrace in Addiscombe and we now have a 2nd floor with:
2 light airy double bedrooms
Shower room
Walk in wardrobe accessible from landing
AND a home office space.
There are small doors into the front under eaves from the bedroom and from the walk in wardrobe providing lots of storage …not an inch of wasted space.
Brandon who built our loft was a very good communicator, had ideas along the way e.g. The home office space and other minor tweaks which he always discussed with us first. A few weeks into the build there was a dreadful storm on a Sat night and Brandon arrived to check all was well on the Sunday…above and beyond I would say.
Rob seemed to respond to the urgent matters in a calm and pleasant manner. He is clearly appreciated as whoever was on site seemed pleased to see him whenever he arrived.
The way the tradesmen fit in with each other’s timetables amazed me. I know Lee has an overview of the various stages of work but I think there must be a lot of good will among the different trades for it to knit together as it did. Matt and his plumbers had to complete 3 different stages with electricians working in between for example.
There was no disturbance inside our house until the stairs went in and the plastering, which was the most "messy" part of the job, only took a few days.
Agim and his plasterers were artists. As well as producing conventional smooth walls they converted the wire and brick spaces under the new stairs into a smooth beautiful sweeping curve. I love that and have painted it deep yellow.
When plaster was dry and it was time for the 2nd fix I was thinking oh dear sawdust but Jermain was tidy and very easy to have about the house so it was not bad at all.He paid attention to detail and his finished work looks great.
Over all the tradesmen were verbally appreciative of each other’s work not just to me but to each other. ..and any issues between them were openly dealt with quickly.
We have a lovely well finished loft and I have no hesitation in recommending LMB.
Fantastic work from start to finish!
Thank you Lee and Joanna for everything and more and making myself and my husband at ease through the whole process.
We are so happy and couldn't recommend LMB Group Ltd enough
It's been a month since our Loft Conversion was completed and we are still so happy with the results, thank you Lee and your hardworking team!
LMB are reliable, hardworking and have an excellent level of workmanship.
Highly recommend
Thank you
Mr & Mrs Bennett-Croft
Lee and his team provided us with an amazing service from our first enquiry to the end result. Joanna in the office was always very helpful and on hand for any questions we had, Lee and the team of workmen were always on the ball, making sure we were always in the loop, the workmen were tidy, polite, helpful and professional honestly my wife and I couldn't be happier.
Our loft conversion (2 small bedrooms and wet room) was completed within 9 weeks as planned and it is fantastic, we are over the moon with the results!! We have an will continue to recommend LMB Group Ltd to our friends, neighbours and family.
Thank you Lee and everyone at LMB
My husband and I have been so impressed with this company. Nothing is ever too much trouble! Our new loft conversion was built to a very high specification thanks to Dave’s team (contractor) and also lee for project managing. All of the contractors were helpful and were also very good and experienced tradesmen. All the snagging was done quickly and efficiently leaving us with the perfect loft conversion. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you :)
We recently had a loft conversion: two bedrooms and a bathroom. LMB was very professional on all levels. We are very pleased with it all finishing in 8 weeks. We strongly recommend this company.
Lee (CEO) for LMB lofts completely put me at ease, we discussed all aspect of the build.. planning/costings/time scale etc, every detail had complete transparency. Once I agreed, & the team got started, you quickly established how professional and efficient the whole team are. Of course in the beginning there’s a little apprehension but that soon disappears when you become aware of the high level of workers put in place. Big mention to Brandon, who is the 1st Carpenter/project manager.. was exceptional, showing quality and skill. His apprentice Darren was also impressive & hard working. Many of the tradesmen, Stephen & his team from SGE services (electrics) were also brilliant, so was Eddie the tiler, Savi the plasterer and Matt the plumbers. Front office with all her girls is Joanna, customer service is outstanding! so if your thinking about making that call, then don’t hesitate! LMB will not disappoint!!
I am absolutely delighted with my loft conversion from LMB.
From start to finish, everything went smoothly. There were different workmen looking after each phase of the project and they were all highly qualified, experienced, hardworking and courteous. They didn't take loads of tea breaks and they always tidied up meticulously after themselves. LMB managed my expectations about how long it would all take, and the time passed quickly - I think they probably completed everything ahead of time. The quality of the work was excellent, and people consulted with me regularly on the finer details - from the original design plans right down to where I wanted spotlights, plug points and light switches! I LOVE my new loft space... LMB have created a spacious master bedroom and en-suite, transforming my home to a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom property, which will have increased its value well over and above the money I spent having the work done! It was definitely a smart investment to make use of my loft space. I would thoroughly recommend LMB to everyone!
Lee's team have just completed our loft extension, and it was on time for Christmas, as promised. All the builders and suppliers were professional and courteous. Throughout the build, Lee was available and minor problems were resolved quickly and effectively. We are delighted with our new rooms. In particular, Lee's team managed to integrate the staircase with the house, so it looks 'right' and the loft and eaves access, which were included in the quote are tidy have maintained much needed storage space. I would recommend LMB.
My family and I were extremely pleased with the service and workmanship of this company. The project ran exactly to the promised timescales. They were reliable and the office staff especially were efficient and helpful.
I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone thinking of having their loft converted.
Excellent workmanship and completed within a very short space of time. I am very pleased with he standard of work and would recommend LMB.
LMB lofts have an excellent workmanship and completes all their work with in a short space of time. l am very much pleased with the standard of work they offer and would recommend them to anyone
We were extremely happy with the final result of the loft conversion. Lee's Architect designed the loft in such a way that it flowed from the rest of the house and maximized the space in the loft. Lee uses only quality trades people and the end result was fantastic.
Excellent workmanship and completed within a very short space of time. I am very pleased with he standard of work and would recommend LMB.
When my wife and I decided to hire LMB to turn the our loft into an extra space to live in, we were initially overwhelmed by the prospect. After all, you don't remove your roof and have builders working in your own personal environment everyday. Luckily, we were reassured by Lee Murphy, the Managing Director, during our initial meeting. He gave us a specific time frame, made clear the costs involved and the payment schedule, not to mention telling us important and relevant information that would help us later. He also answered our questions truthfully and made sure we were happy with everything before proceeding. His advice was invaluable.
From start to finish the process took a little over three months. His team were on time everyday, very pleasant and worked extremely hard. There was never a shortage of materials being delivered and whenever we had any issues, the men on site were happy to discuss them with us and assist in any problem solving.
The work was completed to a very high standard and my wife and I are extremely pleased with the final product. The space is now luxurious and welcoming and no longer a place where we keep things in boxes. Since finishing the work, friends of ours have commented on our new large one bedroom with an ensuite bathroom as being like a "hotel room" and we haven't even finished decorating it yet!!!
I am sure that by investing in our home we have handsomely added to our property value if we ever choose to sell it.
I would happily recommend LMB to anyone who is thinking about undertaking such a project. Thanks again LMB.
Second times a charm!
Having previously had an extension built by Lee and his team, some 10 years ago I was delighted to see the expansion of the company and asked them to quite for our loft conversion. This was by no means a forgone conclusion and I asked a further two reputable companies to quote too, but the build 10 years ago was a huge success so it would be fair to say LMB were the favourites!
Having read a lot of reviews on LMB and the other companies asked to quote, I noted that there was a very similar trend, mainly good to great reviews with the odd negative posting. My advice to anyone looking to spend what will always be a considerable sum of money is to go with your gut, I was made to feel at ease by Lee 10 years ago and again on this occasion and offered the contract to LMB.
I am delighted I did!
On day one of the project, Lee convened a meeting with ourselves and the builders so we could set the ‘ground rules’! I am a firm believer in building relationships and therefore made it clear to all builders on site that if they treated my home like theirs, we would have no issues and I am delighted to say we had no problems there! Common courtesy and decency has to be a must when you have what are strangers in your house when you aren’t and I can’t fault any of Lee’s team on this front. The house was clean every day with the only real noticeable difference when the ceiling came down for the stairs and once the plastering had been done, other than that they all had their own hoovers and cleaned up brilliantly every day.
The pace of the build is immense, scaffolding up, roof off, dormer built, plasterboarded and plastered etc etc, I’m not ashamed to admit it caught me by surprise, but these are surprises you are happy to receive!
The two builders we had that did the main build, Olly and Lee were superb and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough, very attentive, always checking in to make sure we were happy and always on time. We had our loft built during the snowfall, which resulted in a slight delay but also water ingress, a quick call to Lee on a Saturday evening at 8pm and within 30 minutes one of the lads was around to secure the issue, completely unavoidable and due to melting snow, but the message it did send was that LMB really care about their clients and that wasn’t the only time help was needed ‘out of hours’ and was sorted very quickly.
If I could offer one piece of advice it would be to try and make sure you speak to the different trades as they arrive. A couple of small problems we encountered were that we had bought a specific radiator which we had failed to communicate and the original light fittings were not as we expected, both unavoidable with better communication but my fault as much as anyone else’s, and in any case sorted following a quick telephone call with Lee!
The finish of the build is absolutely brilliant, you never really know what to expect but I hadn’t envisaged what we have ended up with! We are lucky in the the pitch of our roof is high so we have a loft room with almost a normal ceiling height, this was totally unexpected but both Lee and the architect mentioned to me on day one of the process they could get a great height for us and they delivered!
One of my initial concerns was the sheer number of different tradesmen flip flopping between each other and how this would work in reality but all of them were managed superbly by Lee and his staff in the office and I was kept fully up to date with who would be on site and when, builders, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, tiler, Roofer’s all working together to deliver the final product.
I have to give a special mention to both the Paul’s on the build, the tiler and roofer. Both are incredible and their strife for perfection in what they do is something to behold!
All in all, we are absolutely ecstatic with the whole process and have no hesitation in recommending LMB so a huge thank you to everyone involved and to Lee and the staff in the office for their attention to detail, it’s been a pleasure!
We recently had a loft conversion:two bedroom and bathroom Lmb to very professional on all levels. We are very pleased with it finishing in 8 weeks. We strongly recommend this company.
