EXCELLENT Based on 45 reviews Posted on Emily HudsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A massive THANK YOU to the whole Atkins team for all your help bringing our dream home to life, maximising every inch of our new loft conversion. The hardest working, nicest guys around, we can’t thank you enough! From architect drawings, building control, scaffolding, the build, carpentry, plastering, plumbing, electrics, tiling… you sorted absolutely everything with no stress for us. Got our main loft structure built in a record 5 days!! We had more than a few extra jobs to add on and even knocked through to our garage and built a downstairs w/c for us. So impressed with your work and the attention to detail finish. A special shoutout to Matt, who must have thousands of messages everyday but somehow always has time for you whilst hanging off a roof & makes you feel prioritised, quick responses and dealt with everything BANG ON! We have loved seeing your video updates & commentaries 😄 We’re going to miss having you all around. So polite, professional & fun (great singers) and all amazing at what you do. Couldn’t recommend enough - everyone is always shocked at how happy we are with our builders, but you guys are the best! THE FUTURE IS ATKINS 😎 Emily & Alex HornchurchPosted on Charles MorrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Also, their ease of communication, friendliness, professionalism, prompt responses to my queries made me very comfortable in choosing them to take our project on. Consider you will be talking to whoever you get to take on your loft for up to 8 weeks daily. If you’re not going to get on with them, how will that communication support in getting your project to life. The whole Atkins team are the friendliest individuals around making me, my partner and daughter feel very secure. If you’re looking for a loft conversion or garden extension, save yourself the time of contacting multiple companies and just go with Atkins, they will do you right. The whole process was very smooth and easy as they have their own architects, building control, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, carpenters, painters, and flooring specialists. We wanted a new master bedroom + en-suite, ended up with that plus walk in wardrobe and a study. I only had a general idea of what I wanted in terms of the finer details but I was able to put my trust in every team member Atkins utilised and I would recommend you to do the same. They are the experts, heavily consider what they think is best and how different aspects should look. My loft project the Atkins team took on came with unexpected challenges to which the team rose too, and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy. If you need a loft project to be completed, the Atkins team are the ideal partners to make what you envision come true. They’re a great bunch of guys, the hardest workers around and I wish them all success in the future.Posted on LouTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Fantastic firm keep up the good work.Posted on Gary PageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Didn’t really get to meet the guys but they helped out with my neighbours loft who was had over by another firm & was basically left with know roof on her house & they took half the money, I see the Atkins banner up on the scaffolding & within a week i come home from work and the roof was on and tiled and so my neighbour said the inside was done exactly how she wanted it once it was completed! My wife spoke to the guys a few times and said they was very polite and down to earth , even bought our kids sweets couple of times for letting them park one of the vans across our drive 👍🏻Posted on emma sandersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we are so pleased with the outcome Atkins built us a luxury garden bar ready for the summer and we are honestly so pleased it’s exactly what we wanted. very respectful team of hard work men. highly recommend these to anyone looking for work in there home .Posted on Tracy ColmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

- 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.
