Oakthorpe Completion

Semi-hip to Gable and Dormer conversion

Another stunning project completed by MPH, comprising semi-hip to gable with dormer loft conversion to provide a master bedroom with en-suite moving from a three to four bed property. 

The works incorporate a Velux roof light, plus a stunning floor to ceiling window within the master bedroom. Floor to ceiling windows are becoming ever more popular with dormer conversions, as they provide you with lots of natural light without the obstruction of a handrail required with a Juliette balcony.

You can see from the images we have yet another very happy customer! But don’t take our word for it, read what they have to say! See you on the next one.

I first heard about MPH from the local advertisements and their sponsorship of a local community beer festival in Western Park. After a quick chat via email, Matt talked me through the process and suggested getting an architect round to talk through the options for my loft conversion.

This was great, and I opted for a full hip-to-cable conversion with en-suite bathroom and the plans were drawn up swiftly. Matt then quoted, gave me timescales, and I decided to go ahead. The quote was thorough and clear and broke down all of the component parts in a way I could understand. The work started in February and was completed in exactly 8 weeks, including some extra home improvements I bolted on during the process!

It was great to meet the team, Mat and Daz, and the various local contractors they used for the more specific parts of the build. It’s reassuring to know that Matt uses quality local sub-contractors. It feels good to support the local economy, and you know you’re getting good people on the job.

For those of you who like to see progress, Matt provides great photos & videos showing the work at every step. The service is top-notch, and they are incredibly mindful & respectful of being in someone’s home. They treat your place like it’s their own, which makes a huge difference. They also kept me in the loop about the work at every stage, so I always knew what was going on and what to expect next.

One of the best things is that there are no hidden costs. The quote is the quote, which was a massive relief. Plus, Matt is wonderfully optimistic, even when things get a bit tricky. There’s always a way to get the job done.

The final result is superb – I had it decorated immediately after they finished and moved into the new space two weeks later. I can honestly say it’s like staying in a hotel, the sound and heat/cold insulation is second to none and it feels like a new house.
