Like every family, no two are the same and the needs of one can significantly differ to those of another. We understand this better than most, which is why we take pride in how we approach each build. We ensure that we listen just as much as we advise and assist, to make sure all your set goals are achieved. Over the past 15 years, we have built upwards of 100 rooms, whether they be a loft conversion, extension or both — each one different and bespoke.
CONVERSIONS
Colliers Wood, MERTON
This young family had outgrown the house they lived in and needed to make better use of what was available to them. By going into the roof, Making Rooms was able to transform an empty attic into an impressive master bedroom with an en suite and Juliet balcony. See images of the extension below.
Chris Cooper
Making Rooms converted our loft space into a master bedroom and built a single storey extension for us. The project was completed early against a speedy programme, whilst still delivering to fantastic quality. We were so impressed with the level of communication throughout the project; both providing excellent advice to us but also listening to our needs. The disruption was kept to an absolute minimum throughout and our neighbours were exceptionally complementary of the workforce.The project was great value for money and they gave complete transparency on scope and costs - most of the competitors who quoted gave next to no detail - which allowed us to make informed decisions and control budgets.
Selsdon, SOUTH CROYDON
An example of a Tier III package, the owners of this property opted to do a full renovation that included a rear extension, adding significantly to an open plan lounge / kitchen and a loft conversion to create a spacious master bedroom with en suite. Each floor of the house received an update, whether a lick of paint or complete renovation such as the family bathroom. To finish off the project, the clients chose to have their garden landscaped. See images of the extension below.
Thornton Heath, CROYDON
Time was of the essence with this build in order to deliver what this young family needed. With a baby on the way, the task at hand was simple — transform a three bedroom house into a four bedroom home.
When we bought our house, we knew that we would need to do a loft conversion to accommodate a growing family. With a set timeline, taking on our project was not appealing to every builder we spoke to but Steve Nash (director of Making Rooms) was warm, friendly and empathetic to our situation. He was fully aware of our timeline and was keen to help us transform our house into a home. It was helpful to have Making Rooms' additional services to hand to reduce many stressful elements of home renovations. Steve and his team worked with us to create a family home and it was finished before our special arrival, which was a key priority! They kept us informed of the build progress and costs throughout and we are very happy with the additional space we have today. We would recommend Steve and Making Rooms to anyone looking to extend their property or convert their loft.

Even the smallest of spaces can yield surprising results when planned and expanded to its fullest potential. For this project, Making Rooms was tasked with converting a loft into a spare room that would be used for guests and as an office. We managed to create an inviting space that includes an en suite so visitors don't have to go downstairs to use the facilities. This along with some works carried out in the kitchen on the ground floor have meant this house is now future-proofed for this family.
Milton Avenue, SUTTON
With eye-catching parquet flooring, this loft conversion was all about creating a sophisticated top floor bedroom. Double glass doors open to reveal a Juliet Balcony and view over a long garden, while flooding the interior with natural light. Wall panelling together with brass finishes offer this Making Rooms project a clean and almost regal look.
Penge, BROMLEY
For the owners of this property, converting their loft into another room has allowed the couple to invite guests to stay while keeping their now third bedroom free to be used as a dedicated office. Making Rooms has transformed the loft to include a shower room and modified the office space on the 1st floor to make it as practical and usable as possible.
Tooting, WANDSWORTH
The owners of this property had a specific vision and were very hands-on. Making Rooms worked closely with them to deliver a future-proof home that would meet all their needs. Works included a loft conversion with a connected roof terrace and modifying existing rooms such as the lounge and bedrooms within the property.
EXTENSIONS
Colliers Wood, MERTON
Alongside a loft conversion, Making Rooms was able to significantly enlarge the useable space of this property by extending the back of the house on the ground floor to create a large open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen. Not only has the project created a new family room, it has achieved a strong connection to the garden, with direct access gained via large floor-to-ceiling bi-folding glass doors. See images of the loft conversion above.
Orpington, BROMLEY
The focus for this project was to transform what was once a small kitchen and lounge area into a space that could be enjoyed by the whole family. The newly finished space now integrates the lounge with the kitchen making it a great space to entertain. While large skylights, together with sliding glass doors, flood the room with natural light.
Making Rooms refitted our downstairs bathroom, built an extension across the back of the house and fitted a new kitchen for us. Before the work started, Steve spent quite a bit of time with us to find out what we wanted and came up with 2 or 3 options with different features and budgets. It was very clear before we started which trades were included in the Making Rooms remit and what we would have source, so there were no surprises. There's no question about the quality of the work delivered by the Making Rooms teams. Steve was responsive and had a very pragmatic approach to issues or queries that were raised. If work fell slightly behind for any reason, the teams made themselves available to catch up. They were really amenable as we remained in the house as the works were being carried out. We loved the finished kitchen, which has become the heart of our home, as we wanted it to be.

Wallington, SUTTON
Making Rooms transformed a small and cramped kitchen into a kitchen dining space that breaths new life into this home. The addition has made a significant difference to the overall space on the ground floor.
We had such a good experience from start to finish. The team always checked in and we were never made to feel that anything was too much. The handling of payments was so easy. We always knew what we were paying for. We would happily use Steve and his team again.

With large skylights and floor-to-ceiling glass doors running the width of the open plan kitchen and lounge, this extension is flooded with natural light. It features a central island for easy dining, food preparation and entertainment. This ground floor extension has transformed a small and dark space into the heart of this family's home.
Epsom, SURREY
To make the most of this new build, Making Rooms extended the width of the house to make a large kitchen and dining area, with direct access to the lounge and TV room. Large French doors open outwards to reveal a spacious garden and patio area.
Making Rooms proceeded diligently with the works and were professional in how they overcame some unforeseen issues that prolonged the programme. The standard of work and communication was good throughout. Recommended for your extension.

Here is another example where the rear of a property has been significantly extended to produce a family room that meets all the needs of its owners. Making Rooms created a new space in which the owners can live happily and enjoy raising their young family.
