What Our Clients Say About Us
Learn more about us and the team behind Atkins Custom Builds.
“Honestly where to start this chapter. It all started with securing quotes from multiple companies for our loft conversion project at my home in Southend-on-Sea. In the end we spoke to 5+ companies who all gave a similar price. So how do you make your choice? I based it on their portfolio and customer reviews, and Atkins are the leaders in that aspect by a large margin.”
- Frequently Asked Questions
Find Quick Answers About Working With Atkins
How long does a typical loft conversion, garden room, or home extension take to complete?
At Atkins Custom Builds, timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your project, but most loft conversions take 6–10 weeks, garden rooms 3–6 weeks, and home extensions around 10–16 weeks. We provide a clear schedule before we begin and keep you updated every step of the way.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion, garden room, or extension?
In many cases, these projects fall under permitted development, meaning planning permission isn’t required. However, every property is different. We’ll guide you through the process from day one and handle any planning applications if needed, ensuring everything meets the latest regulations.
What is the average cost of each type of project, and what factors can affect the price
Costs depend on design choices, materials, and the existing structure of your home. We offer transparent, detailed quotes with no hidden surprises. Whether you’re planning a loft conversion, garden room, or extension, we tailor each project to suit your budget and vision.
Can Atkins Custom Builds help with design, planning applications, and building regulations?
Absolutely. We manage everything from the initial design concepts to architectural drawings, planning applications, and full compliance with building regulations. Our team ensures a smooth, stress-free experience from start to finish.
Will I need to move out during construction, or can I stay in my home?
Most clients remain comfortably in their homes throughout the build. We work efficiently, keep disruption to a minimum, and maintain a clean and safe site. If temporary relocation is ever recommended, we’ll discuss this openly during the planning stage.
What materials and insulation options do you use to ensure energy efficiency and durability?
We use only high-quality, durable materials and the latest insulation systems to create energy-efficient spaces that stand the test of time. Every build is designed to perform well year-round while keeping running costs low.
How involved will I be in the planning and building process?
You’ll be involved as much—or as little—as you’d like. We keep communication clear and consistent, giving you full visibility throughout the project. Your ideas guide the build, and we take care of turning them into reality.
Do your projects come with guarantees or aftercare once the work is completed?
Yes. All our work comes with comprehensive guarantees for certain aspects. After completion, we’re still just a phone call away for any questions or support you may need. Your peace of mind is part of our service.
