Meet Chris The Person Building Your Project

Before the financial crash I was working alongside my dad Brian on new build developments across London— groundworks, structural work, the kind of projects where the margins are tight and the standards are non-negotiable. When the recession hit in 2008 and the banks stopped lending, that work dried up almost overnight. New build sites across the county went quiet. We had to find a different way.

Fox Conversions started in 2012. I was 23. The honest version of how it began is this: Brian fronted the business. We would go to surveys together, meet the clients as a team, and then I would go away and write the quote, manage the process, handle everything. The clients could reach Brian by email — but those emails came to me. He was my mentor and my credibility until I had built enough of my own. Because the truth is, nobody is going to hand a 23 year old the keys to their home and a £30,000 project without some reassurance.

It worked because the work was good. Word spread. By the time I was running projects entirely in my own name, the reputation was already there.

Brian moved on to pursue commercial projects a few years in. I kept Fox Conversions deliberately small and deliberately focused. We do loft conversions, garage conversions and home extensions. That is it. I am not a general builder who turns his hand to whatever comes in — this is all we do, and it shows in the detail.

Every project is personally managed by me from the first survey through to building control sign-off. Not a site manager. Not a foreman relaying messages. Me.

the family behind The business

Building runs in this family. My dad Brian is a bricklayer and groundworker — on extension projects he handles the foundations and structural brickwork. Having him on site means I have direct oversight of every stage of a build, not just the carpentry and finishing. There are no subcontracted groundworkers turning up who have never spoken to the person running the job.

My brother works alongside Brian on the groundworks side. Between them they have decades of experience in the kind of structural work that extensions demand — and they work to the same standard I hold the rest of the build to, because they know I will be checking it.

My sister handles interior design. For clients who want input beyond the structure — layouts, finishes, how the new space connects with the rest of the house — she is available as part of the process. It is not something every client needs, but for those converting a garage into a living space or opening up a loft into a master suite, having design input from the same team that is building it removes a lot of the friction that comes from briefing two separate people.

This is what family-run actually means. Not a logo and a tagline — the same people, accountable to each other, on every job.

The same applies to the trades we bring in for specialist work. Our plasterer, plumber and electrician have all worked with Fox Conversions for over six years. They are not pulled from a subcontractor list — they know how I run a site, they know the standard I expect and they have delivered it consistently across dozens of projects. When I say you are getting a personal service, that extends to every person who sets foot in your home during the build.

I take on a limited number of projects each year. Not because I cannot scale — because I will not. Taking on more jobs than I can personally oversee would mean handing off to someone else, and that is not the service I am selling.

You will get a detailed, fully itemised quote — not a ballpark number over the phone. You will get stage payments tied to build milestones, not large upfront sums. You will get a direct line to me throughout, not a customer service inbox.

And when your project is finished, you will have a Building Control completion certificate, properly specified structural work and a finish that genuinely feels like part of the original house.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris Fox and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. We’ve hired Chris on two separate occasions: first for smaller works, including fitting new flooring, and later for a full renovation of our entire downstairs. On both projects, the experience was consistently excellent.

The quality of workmanship across the team was outstanding. Chris’s trusted plumber and electricians were equally professional, reliable, and highly skilled, which made a complex renovation feel seamless and well-coordinated.

What stood out most was the care and attention they showed throughout. They treated our home with respect, kept everything organised, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was right. The project was delivered on time, all our questions were answered promptly, and Chris was incredibly helpful in guiding us on materials and supplies. Even after completion, he made sure everything was finalised properly in the following weeks, which we really appreciated.

We are especially impressed with the bespoke side cabinet and window seat Chris built for us. The craftsmanship is exceptional, and these pieces have become real highlights of our home.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris and his team for any project, whether it’s smaller interior work or a full renovation. It has truly been a joy working with them, and we are delighted with the final result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with, he's knowledgeable and skilled and his quote was very reasonable. We were trepidatious about taking on such a large renovation project, comprising a loft conversion and full refit, with no prior experience, but Chris's arrival on site assuaged our concerns, and the project went smoothly with only minor hiccups. Overall I cannot recommend Fox conversions enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and his team were amazing in completing my Velux loft conversion. I had a number of quotes, and I am glad I chose to give the project to Fox Conversions.

From Chris’s initial visit through to completion, he and his team were professional, courteous, respectful, worked in collaboration with other tradesmen and I am very pleased with the finished result.

Chris was patient when I wanted to change or add items different to the original plans such as extra windows, a media wall or a floating shelf etc.

I would defiantly recommend Fox Conversions if you want a home improvement project done at a reasonable price and with a team that will not let you down.

Chris delivered great service over and above what I expected.

Thank you to Chris and his team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fox Conversions are simply a pleasure to work with. We had a Dormer loft conversion with en-suite shower room built by Fox. The finished project looks fantastic. The construction was quick and passed each building controls inspection without any issues. All our requirements were catered for, and Fox were very reasonably priced, one of the better quotes I had with the added bonus of including the building controls drawings. Chris Fox is a very pleasant man, very approachable and skilful at what he does. He saw the opportunity to improve the design during the build and made it happen; we are really happy with the results. He is also happy to fix any issues you spot during and after construction (snags) without hesitation. His crew were all courteous and friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend using Fox Conversions if you are planning an extension project of any kind.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the very beginning, Chris made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. He listened carefully to my requirements, including any additional requests, and was consistently flexible with the budget, always looking for ways to help wherever possible.

One of the standout aspects of working with Chris was his documentation. Everything was clearly laid out, making it easy to understand what was included in the quote and what to expect. His transparency and honesty regarding costs, materials, timelines, and the overall process gave me great confidence throughout the project.

Chris was always prepared to make decisions in my best interest as the client, and he held himself and his team accountable for their work. The pace at which Chris and his team worked was impressive—many of my friends and relatives commented on how productive they were, especially in the first few weeks.

He made a point of asking questions rather than making assumptions, ensuring I was always informed about the upcoming week’s plans and progress. His project management skills are excellent, and he was instrumental in helping me achieve my loft extension within a reasonable budget, accommodating specific requests and managing the challenges of parking on a busy road.

Chris’s dedication to quality and accountability is second to none. Whenever unexpected challenges arose, he led the team with effective problem-solving and ensured the job was completed to a high standard. His punctuality and willingness to personally step in to get things done demonstrated his commitment as a lead builder.

He and his team consistently arrived on time and made every effort to clean up after themselves, which was especially appreciated as I was living on-site during the works. There was never any pressure to pay upfront, and Chris even arranged for me to speak with a previous client about their experience, which was very reassuring.

Overall, Chris has been superb. I am grateful for his professionalism, dedication, and the quality of work delivered. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a building project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a garage with a lot of exposed plumbing below the ceiling. Fox Conversions changed the plumbing so that the pipes were no longer below the ceiling and converted the garage into a lovely office space on budget and within the agreed timeframe.
