Loft Conversions in London

North London Joinery provides professional loft conversion services in London, transforming unused roof space into practical bedrooms, home offices, en-suites, and other living areas designed around your property and requirements.

Before recommending the right approach, we assess the existing roof structure, available head height, staircase position, access, and usable floor space. The project can then include structural alterations, floor strengthening, insulation, roof work, staircase installation, and internal finishing where required.

Depending on your property, options can include dormer and roof-light (Velux) conversions, with fitted wardrobes, shelving, and built-in storage incorporated into sloping or awkward spaces where suitable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Ylli, he installed some bespoke shelving and cabinets on either side of our fireplace (quite challenging with wonky walls and sloped floor etc) and he did an amazing job. Not only that but he’s reliable, efficient and tidy - we’ll definitely be in touch again. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ylli and his team saved the day! I was struggling to get several tradesmen to do the job within a time frame. Ylli is knowledgeable in just about every trade and has the contact in every trade. He rebuilt a knackered wall partition, painted, put down new flooring, built a boiler cabinet, built boxes for pipes, replaced rotten floor boards, electrical work, installed fire doors and did the rendering. He is such a nice guy that he even helped with odd jobs like break up furniture and take furniture out to the skip (not included in the job, added value. Others would either say no or charge). Very reliable, he turns up when he say he will, quality of work is excellent, gives ETA of completion and he is reasonable in price. Very little supervision was required from me. He gives that end to end solution and you don’t need to waste time in finding other tradesmen. I will definitely be hiring Ylli and his team again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Ylli for several home improvement projects, and I am thoroughly impressed with the results.

Wardrobe installation:
Ylli designed and installed a custom wardrobe that perfectly fits the space and complements the room's decor. The craftsmanship is exceptional, with attention to detail evident in every aspect. The wardrobe not only offers ample storage but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the room.

Bathroom Unit:
The bespoke bathroom unit crafted by Ylli has transformed the space. It was tailored to meet our specific needs, providing both functionality and style. The quality of the materials and the precision of the installation are commendable.

Door Fitting:
Ylli also fitted several doors throughout our home. Each installation was executed with meticulous care, ensuring smooth operation and a perfect fit. The doors have added a polished finish to our interiors.

Throughout all projects, Ylli maintained a high standard of professionalism, punctuality, and cleanliness. I am delighted with the outcomes and would highly recommend Ylli for any carpentry needs.

I cannot wait to see my kitchen finished too and enjoy his wonderful work.

Thank you for all your hard work🙏🏻☺️
