Hakan and his wife live in a 1930s property on Mead Way in Coulsdon. For years, their loft was nothing more than a dusty storage area. It was dark, cramped, and uncomfortable to use. As Hakan explained:
“It was itchy, it was dirty and it's just a space which was just a dumping zone.”
With a young family and limited space, they felt the need for another bedroom. They wanted a comfortable room where everyone in the family could have their own space. The idea of a loft conversion in Coulsdon quickly became the perfect solution.
A Great First Impression That Built Trust
“She made me and my wife really comfortable… It’s all about that working relationship with the client, and that’s what we fell in love with.”
“We was always talking about having a room… The problem was you just couldn’t picture it. You just didn’t know the size.”
Once Ricky talked them through the design options, they felt excited about what the loft could become — especially when they learned an en suite might fit too.
Clear Planning and Honest Pricing
From the start, Hakan and his wife appreciated how organised the LMB team was. During the build, they knew exactly what stage the project was at and who would be visiting on each day.
“We knew what trade we'll be dealing with on certain days, what information they need from us.”
“The quotation which we got is what we paid at the end… the quotation I got when we started the project was exactly what I paid at the end of it.”
Transforming the Loft: A Hip to Gable Rear Dormer
The result took even the homeowners by surprise.
“The quotation which we got is what we paid at the end… the quotation I got when we started the project was exactly what I paid at the end of it.”
The new room includes a spacious double bedroom, a well‑designed en‑suite, and fantastic views across the Coulsdon Downs.
Comfort, Light, and Peace at the Top of the House
One of the biggest benefits of the new loft room is how peaceful it feels.
Hakan joked:
“I’ll be honest with you, I can’t hear the kids in a good way — and the kids can’t really hear us.”
The loft is bright, well insulated, and surprisingly airy. Even during warm weather, the space stays comfortable:
“It’s airy. I don’t find it hot. Just over the moon with what we have at the end of the project.”
A Build With Very Little Disruption
Many families worry about builders moving through the house for weeks. With LMB, the experience was very different.
“When you have a loft build, everything is on the outside… The only time they tap into the home, the shell’s already on.”
This meant the family could live normally while the new loft took shape. The project also moved faster than expected, which was a big bonus.
A Project That Surpassed All Expectations
Hakan summed up the transformation with enthusiasm:
“The project we’ve decided on is the project we’ve got at the end. The only difference is it’s exceeded what I expected.”
The couple now enjoy a private, quiet, and beautiful new space that adds real value to their home — both financially and personally. The en‑suite, extra light, and views make it feel like luxury living.
Why They Highly Recommend LMB Group
Throughout the process, the homeowners felt supported, informed, and respected. The communication, aftercare, and finishing quality stood out.
“Hats off to LMB. They’re a rare gem… LMB by far stands out and I’m very, very happy with the project.”
They continue to recommend LMB to friends and family, confident others will experience the same level of service.
