A full house refurbishment with a loft conversion and rear extension, a tired Easton terrace taken from top to bottom and turned into a bright, modern family home.

The brief

The owners of a terraced house in Easton (BS5) wanted the whole property brought back to life, not one room, but the entire house from top to bottom, including a loft conversion with a rear extension. It was a big job: the house was in a poor state when we took it on.

The challenge

Refurbishing a whole house means every trade, every room and every finish has to come together in the right order, while keeping the original character of a Victorian terrace. The new stairwell up to the loft also had to be fire-protected to meet Building Regulations, without making the middle of the house feel closed in and dark.

What we did

We refurbished the house completely, top to bottom. The loft became a big, light room with a generous floor space and French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. Downstairs we opened the house up with a rear extension, installed a new kitchen, and built bespoke plywood storage into the living room. The fire-protected stairwell was fitted with a glass panel that keeps the light flowing through the middle of the house, a detail that came out really well. We also refitted the first-floor bathroom.

The outcome

A house that was in a poor state is now a beautiful, modern family home, a loft bedroom with a Juliet balcony, an open-plan kitchen and living space, clever built-in storage, a bright glass-panel stairwell and a smart new bathroom. The whole house, done properly, from top to bottom.

  • We used J Vincent Lofts for a kitchen diner extension on our house in Bedminster and couldn’t be happier with the result. Joe was incredibly helpful right from the start and always quick to reply whenever we messaged him with a question or new requirement. We had Ben on-site every day and he was absolutely fantastic; thorough and a pleasure to have around.Being an old-ish 1930s house we uncovered plenty of surprises along the way, and the team took every one of them in their stride. Notably, Joe researched the groundwork that was needed for our specific area and arranged all of that. When any requirements needed changing on the fly they were always accommodating, and importantly they kept us in the loop about any impact on the budget that had been set out at the start. No task was too big, and every trade they brought in was just as thorough and personable.A genuinely great experience from start to finish, super chuffed with the work they did and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable builders in Bristol.

  • We're very pleased with our kitchen extension that Joe and his team completed in May this year.From the start Joe was accomodating with our plans, working around our schedule and needs which included living at the property durring the works. The design included some custom solutions that the team executed brilliantly and to a high standard.We were recommended Joe by a friend and I will continue to recommend as their work ethic, attention to detail and consideration were exactly what we were hoping for!

  • We couldn’t be happier that we chose Joe and his team to complete the work on our house. We had a double loft extension which involved reconfiguring the first floor. Joe had a solution for everything to make it all possible. His communication was excellent and his team were friendly, considerate and did an exceptional job. The work has been done to such a high standard and we’re so pleased with the result. If you’re thinking about getting work done on your house, Joe is your man!

  • Joe and his team did a great job on our loft conversion and 1st floor renovations. Our conversion came with the added complexity of lowering the first-floor ceilings to create enough space for the loft, but Joe took it all in his stride.Throughout the build, Joe was incredibly accommodating when we asked to include additional work, seemingly unfazed by any request and capable of making it a reality. His budgeting and organisation were excellent from start to finish, which no doubt helped us avoid any issues in what was quite an extensive project!It was a pleasure having Joe and his team in our home, they were respectful, hardworking, and clearly took pride in their work. We love the final result; the space has completely transformed our home.We’re planning to renovate our ground floor in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Joe again. Highly recommended.

  • Great team, high quality build and friendly. Considering the length of the job we were apprehensive to have builders in the house whilst heavily pregnant but the team were friendly and respectful. Very happy with the end result!
