Specialist loft conversion company in South London, Touchstone Lofts
Over 1,000 lofts converted since 1989
South London has so much to offer, but do you ever feel like you just don’t have enough space? We meet many people in this position, and while they need some more space, they also love their homes and don’t want to move out of the South London area. This is a common occurrence along roads such as Silvester Road – East Dulwich is a sought-after area and people enjoy living there, but they have growing families and their needs are changing. We recently met a couple who turned their loft into a bigger bedroom for themselves, which they said was a real luxury since having their three children, who have taken over most of the house! We know that their loft conversion changed their life, and yours could too. From Cowick Road, to Mallinson Road, to the Dulwich Picture Gallery, to Battersea Power Station, and everywhere in between, we continually meet families who are converting their lofts, and they all say the same thing – “why didn’t I do this sooner?”
