Disappointing Experience – Would Not Recommend (this company has multiple accounts, I wonder why ?)I hired EDSS construction for a full home renovation including loft, kitchen extension, driveway, outbuilding, and garden. The original project timeline was 17–19 weeks but extended to over 16 months, with several key areas still incomplete or unsatisfactory.While there were some changes to scope and delays (e.g. tenant moving out late), the lack of project management and missed deadlines became a major issue. There was no clear schedule, and expensive materials like kitchens and bathrooms sat unused for months, impacting warranties.Throughout the process, I experienced repeated requests for payments at inappropriate times, and there were long absences without notice, which delayed progress further. On an occasion, a future EDSS client was brought to view my property without my permission.The quality of workmanship fell short in many areas. For example, drainage issues led to multiple visits from Thames Water, and I eventually had to hire another company at significant cost to correct problems with the pipework. The garden, driveway, and outbuilding were left unfinished, and poor sealing allowed rodents access to the property.Despite ongoing issues, I was pressured for further payment, even where work remained incomplete.The contract was cancelled because the owner tried to charge 1k for services without telling me the price first and wouldn't come back unless I paid 1k yet I was left without a basic functions such as drainage working adequately with toilet waste leaking into the garden, and there was ample time to remedy issues and he had access from Feb 2024 until June 2025. I've reported this company to Trading standards via citizens advice and have asked for compensation for costs which they have refused to pay, it cost me over 10k to fix all the isssues he left behind. I also have all the evidence of threatening emails and pictures of works not completed to standard and the missing materials and damage. The owner will come and dismissed all claims and say he has references etc about his excellent work but I have emails and whatapp message where he accepts responsibility for his mistakes especially the drainage and am happy to send to Trust Pilot to verify if required.Unfortunately, my experience was stressful and costly. Based on this, I would not recommend EDSS Ltd for any renovation projects. If you look at the reviews on here there is a consistent pattern of behaviour and if you Google reviews of the company (which has been shut down) or mybuilder.com or the next-door website or the previous company (Sim Vik Ltd) associated with the Director you will not want to take the risk, there are so many horror stories. There are many of my neighbours he has caused so much stress too, honestly would avoid at all costs.If anyone ever wanted to get in contact via Trust Pilot I would happily share my details and would show 4/5 references where this company has caused significant stress and issues and all the horrible emails recieved, be warned, avoid at all costs.I've managed to now move on with my life and have peace from the EDSS nightmare, until now that I have a leak in my new roof so now more things to fix.

Loft conversion
Converting lofts into usable living spaces are one of the most common residential developments in the UK nowadays, and it is one of the specialties of EDSS Construction Ltd.
Adequately planned and executed loft conversion to your property does not only increase the value of your property but also adds add a whole new look to your property. Most interestingly loft conversions are the cheapest investment on extending the available living space in your house than rear/side extensions or basement extensions. Therefore, loft extensions are the most recommended means of extending your living area in terms of both costs and looks of your house.
Loft conversion can serve multiple purposes according to your custom needs. You can opt to make add an additional bedroom to your house, for children or guests or a luxury master bedroom with en-suite shower-room, or a disturbance free work space for your home office.
And most interestingly, we can carry out your loft conversions with the least disruption to your everyday life, while living in the same property.
When it comes to any type of extensions to your living space involving any structural changes to your property, including loft conversion, you must be aware of the planning permissions you got and/or require. In some cases, not only the planning permission but the party wall agreements are critical in making decisions about your loft conversions or extensions, as in case of attached properties you share the same building structure with your neighbours. These permissions can take a long time; therefore, it is important for you to know and plan that what extending exemptions you may already got, and do you really go beyond those exemptions in extending your property. The standard Loft Conversions, where you already have not extended your property, normally doesn’t require planning permissions.
Extension
Adding an extension to your home for improved living space suiting to your needs is a very good idea, if executed in a proper way. It adds value to your property and comfort to your living. So, if you have not yet done your house extensions, and you are looking into extend your house to the back or side, Edss Construction Ltd can be your perfect choice. We are specialized in home improvements building and interiors with over 15 years of experience in the UK.
House extensions planned sensibly can improve the aesthetics of your property and can certainly provide you with more space to your home. If you are desperate for a larger kitchen, living room, need a sun room, a home office or a study for your kids, house extension is the best idea to pursue. A purposeful extension can provide you with a potentially double kitchen, extended dining area, or double of the living room space, or even an extra room in your house, or an additional toilet, or shower room. You can extend your single-storey rear extension by almost three metres in case of an attached house, or by four metres in case of a detached house, even without planning permission, and can be up to six metres and eight metres based on your property specifications; however, it requires consultation with neighbours and local authority. Therefore, house extensions can sufficiently increase space in your covered area and so is the value of your property, should you want to sell or let in the future.
