When a family needs more room, moving is not the only choice. Sometimes the answer is already above you.
That was the case for the owners of this home on Manor Wood Road in Purley. They have two young children and wanted more bedroom space. Their loft was rarely used and was not needed for much storage. It had clear potential to become a useful part of the home.
There was another reason to look upwards. The house sits high on a hill and has wide views across the valley. A loft conversion could add the space the family needed and also make far more of that view.
After looking online and reading customer reviews, the family chose LMB Group for the work.
Why Convert the Loft?
The family had reached a point where they wanted more room at home. With two small children, extra bedroom space would help the house work better for them.
At the same time, the loft was doing very little. It was a part of the house that neither owner used very often. They also did not rely on it for storage.
That made the loft a clear place to look for more space. A move would have meant leaving a home they already enjoyed. Converting the loft gave them a way to use more of the property they already had.
The aim was simple: turn an unused area into a bright and useful part of the family home.
Finding LMB Group Online
The owners did not start with a personal recommendation. Instead, they searched online for local loft conversion firms.
They looked at several companies and paid close attention to customer feedback. LMB Group stood out because of the positive reviews they found online.
For the family, those reviews helped them decide who to contact. A loft conversion affects the structure and day-to-day use of a home, so confidence in the team managing the project matters.
That confidence became an important part of the Manor Wood Road project.
Using the View as Part of the Design
The position of the house gave this Purley loft conversion something special.
Because the property sits high on a hill, the upper floor has a broad view across the valley. Before the work began, the family did not make much use of the loft. As a result, that view was not part of daily life.
The conversion changed this. New windows open up the outlook, while the balcony gives the family a much stronger link with the view outside.
The owners described the windows as “amazing” and spoke about how much they enjoy being able to see across the valley.
This shows why a good loft design is about more than floor space. Every home is different, and some properties offer opportunities that only become clear when the loft is carefully considered. In this case, the height and setting of the property were a major part of what made the project work so well.
The finished space now makes better use of both the inside of the house and the view beyond it.
A Smooth Build from Start to Finish
The owners were also pleased with the way the work was run.
They said the whole process was smooth and well managed. Work ran on time, and each stage fitted with the next.
That matters on a loft conversion. There are many different stages involved, so good planning and communication can make the experience much easier for the people living in the house.
The Manor Wood Road owners felt that the work had been handled with care. They also liked the way the finished space came together.
Rather than feeling as if different parts had been completed separately, the loft felt joined up. The owners said it felt as though it had all been completed by one group. That was exactly what they had wanted when they chose LMB Group.
From Unused Loft to Useful Family Space
The biggest result is easy to see. Space that had little use is now part of the home.
For a family with young children, that can make a real difference. Extra room can help a house adapt as children grow and family needs change.
The project also made the most of something that was already there: the property’s elevated setting.
Before the conversion, the family had a loft and a view, but they were not getting much benefit from either. Now the new top floor brings those two things together. It gives them more useful space and a new way to enjoy the outlook from their home.
