What Coulsdon customers say
2 reviews from customers in Coulsdon, in their own words.
“Everyone from Lordans + Lawsons and all external firms (scaffolding etc) were timely and courteous. Everything that could be done to make the conversion as safe and accessible as possible for our children, such as dusting the building, was done! Amazing service, thanks!”
“Mark and his team did an excellent job. Polite and tidy crew. The finish of the job was high quality. The company kept us informed about any additional costs resulting from additional features.”

A box built out from the back roof slope, giving full standing height and the most floor space.

Planning in Coulsdon
Coulsdon is in the area of Croydon Council. Most loft conversions don't need planning permission: they count as permitted development if they stay within the size and design rules. That changes if your house is in a conservation area, or if the council has removed permitted development rights with an Article 4 direction.
- We check your road at the free feasibility visit and tell you straight away if you need a planning application.
- Our in-house architect, Simon Burrows, draws up your loft, and Mark goes through the drawings with you, including whether permitted development applies.
- Every loft needs building regulations approval. We handle it through independent building control, start to finish.
