Building and structural work
The space above your head could become a useful room, but it needs more thought than boarding a floor. Stairs, headroom and the shape of the roof all affect what is possible. Share your plans and we will help you find vetted tradespeople for your loft conversion.

The work
Worth thinking about
A room that looks generous on a floor plan may lose useful space around sloping ceilings and stairs. Ask how the new stair will affect the floor below, where services will run and what work is needed elsewhere in the house. These details belong in the discussion before you settle on finishes.
Why we are here
Cowboy builders have cost families their savings, and the tradespeople who turn up on time and do the work properly get tarred with the same brush. Most platforms check the company rather than the person who will be standing in your kitchen.
Pinnacle vets the individual. Our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years helping families rebuild after they were let down, more than 500 of them, sometimes out of his own pocket. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are all checked by a person, against the standard he built that work to.
It costs you nothing, and you are not handed a list and left to it. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project, so if something needs sorting out there is someone to tell.
Graham's storyPinnacle of All Trades
You should not have to start from scratch with a list of names. Our vetting follows the standard our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years building. We find suitable tradespeople for your project, so you can concentrate on what your home needs.
Share the work, your postcode and your timing. Add photos or plans if you have them. It is fine to say what you are still deciding.
We match the project with vetted tradespeople. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are checked before introductions.
Discuss the work, ask questions and agree the scope and quote before hiring. Pinnacle stays involved, so you have someone to contact if a concern comes up.
Once we have looked at your project, we set up your own project area on Pinnacle and send you the link. You can see where the project stands and what happens next, read the tradespeople we introduce by name, ask one of them to contact you, add photos or documents as the work is scoped, tell us if something is wrong, and keep the project up to date as things change.
A clearer quote
Roof alterations, structural support, access and a new bathroom can change the scope significantly. Ask whether drawings, approval-related work, stairs and decoration are included. An itemised quote helps you see what is ready to price and what still needs designing.
Before you hire any builder
From 25 years of helping homeowners after they've been let down. The things every family should check before signing a contract.
No checklist is foolproof, and neither is any vetting. We check every tradesperson hard, but if a job ever stops feeling right, trust your instincts, run it past this list, and tell us. Because Pinnacle of All Trades sits in the middle, you're never sorting it out on your own.
Not just our word for it
Graham has been on ITV This Morning talking about what every homeowner should know before hiring, and in 2021 he was voted the inaugural winner of the SGS Local Hero Award, taking 39% of over 2,000 public votes.
"Contacted Smith Bros Roofing from Pinnacle of All Trades. He was outstanding with the service, came the same day to give a quote and got the job done within 5 hours."

Before you start
No. Suitability needs an assessment of the existing building and the proposed layout. Do not rely on a photograph or a general online guide as confirmation.
Describe it in the initial brief. Drainage, pipe routes, ventilation and available space need considering alongside the room layout.
Tell us that when you start. The design and assessment work needed should be clear before anyone treats an early estimate as a fixed building price.
It can, particularly where stairs and services are added. Ask for the quote and programme to cover making good in those areas too.
Yes. Registering a project and being introduced to tradespeople costs you nothing, and we take no commission on the work.
No. There is no obligation at any point. Talk to whoever we introduce, get quotes, and walk away if none of them is right for you.
It depends on who is available and suitable near you, so it may be one or it may be several. Nothing is exclusive, so you can compare before you decide.
Tell us. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project rather than stepping back after the introduction, so you are not sorting it out on your own.
A screening call first, then identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references, all checked by a person before anyone is put in front of you.
Your home. Your next step.
We will help you find the right people to talk to about loft conversions.
Free for homeowners. No obligation to hire.
