Today we are taking a look back in time comparing the Loft Conversions Buckley Loft Conversions built in the 1990’s to the 21st Century. Buckley Loft Conversion have been established for over 24 years, so if you wish for some security in a firm you can see we are going no where!

It is great to look at how we have developed as a company through the different eras, even though the fashions have changed you can be self assured the quality of our workmanship is still of a high standard as you can see in the different images.

Back to the 90’s!!

In the 1990’s the architrave may be painted green but it is still the standard bullnose architrave which is still an option in our range that we use today.

The roof lights installed Then and Now are supplied by Velux – Why change it when they are superb quality. Velux provide excellent customer service, if you have problems with your Velux’s – YES even 20 years later we can fix it!!

Bathrooms were certainly easier in the 90’s compared to present day. Today we have so much choice with the modern styles, we install lots of different variations of units, not just the standard ‘Pedestal’ and ‘wash basin’ like in the 90’s!

Today square parts have taken the industry by storm, many stair manufactures have had to alter their stair ranges and discontinue some turned stair parts due to the low demand levels. Oak and Hemlock are very popular today along with the ultra-modern Fusion Glass range that has hit the stairs world with a big bang!
