In Good Company – Use Your Space
A builder who makes the process feel calmer
If you have ever thought about extending, converting the loft, or turning the garage into something useful, you will know this truth, the build is only half the story. The other half is trust. Who is in your home each day, who is leading the team, who is keeping things tidy, who is answering questions without making you feel like a nuisance.
That is why we have a real soft spot for Mike and the team at Use Your Space Design and Build. They bring confidence to a process that can easily feel overwhelming, and they do it by being good people who care about doing a proper job.
Mike’s steady leadership sets the tone
You can usually tell what a business is like by the person at the top. Mike leads in a way that feels grounded and decent. There is no ego, no drama, no grand promises. Just clear advice, honest expectations, and a team that knows what they are doing.
The reviews tell the same story again and again, professional, thorough, friendly, and a real sense that Mike is hands on throughout. That matters, because when someone is trusted in your space, you want to feel they will do what they said they would do, and show up with the same standards every day.
Communication that gives you confidence
Building work can feel stressful when you are left guessing. What is happening next, when are materials arriving, what is being done behind the scenes, is everything on track.
One thing Use Your Space do brilliantly is communication. Clients mention regular updates and photos, even when the work is out of sight. They talk about feeling informed, reassured, and able to relax because they are not being kept in the dark.
It is such a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference. Confidence comes from clarity, and clarity comes from people who keep you in the loop without you having to chase.
Extensions that add space without uprooting your life
Extensions are a big part of what Use Your Space do, and it is easy to see why. With house prices where they are, many families choose to improve what they have rather than move.
A good extension is not only about adding a room. It is about making the whole home work better. It can mean opening up space for family life, creating a kitchen you actually want to be in, or finally having somewhere to breathe when the house feels full.
Done well, it adds value, and more importantly, it adds ease. The team approach these projects with proper planning, good workmanship, and a clear focus on the finish.
Loft conversions that turn forgotten space into real living space
Lofts often start out as a dusty storage zone and end up being the best room in the house. Use Your Space offer loft conversions including Velux, dormer, and hip to gable options, and they guide clients through what will work best for their home.
What we love is how practical they are. They help people make decisions, solve problems as they arise, and keep things moving. Clients talk about tidy work areas and respectful teams, which is no small thing when you are living and working at home during a build.
When a loft conversion is done with care, it feels like the house has quietly levelled up.
Garage conversions that unlock flexible space
A garage can become almost anything, a home office, a spare room, a chill out space, a gym, or somewhere for teenagers to escape without taking over the living room. It is one of the easiest ways to gain space without losing garden.
Use Your Space help people see what is possible, and they deliver it with the same attention to detail. Clients mention smooth processes, thoughtful handovers, and a team that takes pride in finishing properly.
They also operate with the right mindset for modern projects. They are LABC registered, and they understand that CDM regulations apply, which matters when you want the job done safely and professionally.
