5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Excellent place to live
The facilities here are excellent, the front desk are very helpful with any issues and the corridors/stairs remain very clean. Any repairs are dealt with quickly and communication as to when access is required for fire alarm checks/general maintenance is excellent. The gym area is well equipped, and the roof terrace is a great place to relax with a lovely view.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
I love the proximity to the city centre and the ease of access to the centre from the tram stop just outside. There's lots of nearby places for food and drink and it is closely located to Kelham island which is a thriving place. We have had no issues living on this street, and there is no noise from the nearby roads
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
They have answered quickly to any issues and communicate well in advance as to estimated times/dates they arrive to fix any issues, which is useful.

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Our Experience Living at Tilt Works
We’ve really enjoyed our time living at Tilt Works. The building is modern, well designed, and always kept clean and tidy. The communal areas are lovely, the facilities are convenient, and everything is well maintained, making it a really comfortable place to live. One of the things we’ve appreciated most is the on-site team, especially Abbie, Jodie, and Courtney. They’ve been absolutely lovely throughout our time here. They’re always friendly, approachable, and happy to help, whether it’s sorting out a maintenance issue, answering a question, or just having a quick chat. What we particularly appreciate is how thoughtful they are and how they genuinely take the time to get to know residents. It’s the little things they do that make such a difference, and they’ve made us feel really welcome from the beginning. The building management has also been great. Communication has always been straightforward, and whenever we’ve needed anything, the team have been responsive and helpful. It’s reassuring to live somewhere where you know there are people you can comfortably turn to. We’re genuinely sad to be leaving Tilt Works, and the team is a big part of that. They’ve made our experience here so positive, and we really appreciate all the care and effort they put into what they do. I really hope their dedication and hard work are recognised, because they deserve every bit of appreciation they receive. They’re a real credit to Tilt Works, and I hope their efforts never go unnoticed. We’d happily recommend Tilt Works to anyone looking for a place to live in Sheffield. It’s a lovely building, but the people working here are what we’ll remember most.
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The location is easily one of the best things about living at Tilt Works! Almost everything in Sheffield city centre is within a 20-minute walk, making everyday life incredibly convenient. There’s a Tesco Express and Uni Convenience (our favourite) nearby, and West Street, with its restaurants, cafés, and bars, is just a short walk away. The nearby tram stop also makes getting around Sheffield very straightforward, although we’ve found the area so walkable that we rarely need to rely on public transport. Despite being so close to the city centre, the street itself is surprisingly peaceful. Throughout our time here, we haven’t experienced any issues with antisocial behaviour or disruptive traffic noise, and we’ve always felt safe and comfortable in the neighbourhood. The building also makes everyday life easier, with a convenient bin facility, lovely communal spaces, and a little garden by the main entrance that adds a welcoming touch. Parking is straightforward too, and whenever we’ve needed assistance with arrangements, the Tilt Works on-site team have been incredibly accommodating. They’re always approachable and happy to help, which makes even the smallest practical matters feel effortless. We genuinely struggle to think of any significant drawbacks to the area. It offers a wonderful balance of city-centre convenience and the comfort of a quieter residential street. Having such a thoughtful and helpful team looking after the building makes living here even better.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Whenever we’ve raised an issue, the management team have been quick to respond and have kept us informed throughout the process. They’ve always taken our concerns seriously and made an effort to find a solution as smoothly as possible. What we’ve particularly appreciated is that we’ve never had to feel uncomfortable about bringing something up, even when it’s been a minor issue. The team are easy to communicate with, and it’s clear they genuinely want residents to have a good experience living here.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
One thing worth mentioning is that the walls aren’t particularly thick, so sound insulation might be something to consider if you’re sensitive to noise. That said, we’ve been fortunate with our neighbours and haven’t experienced any noise-related issues (or heard anyone having such issues). Other than that, there haven’t been any unpleasant surprises. Everything has been in line with what was outlined in our tenancy agreement, and our experience has been very positive overall.

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. Life at the Tilt Works Sheffield
More than wonderful. Living at the Tilt Works is a complete joy. I cannot express the skill, knowledge, perspective and passion those that work here have. I feel totally reassured and safe living at the Tilt works! It has the best vibe too, I can fully relax and let go of life’s stress, as a resident here!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Regeneration at its best. Feeling the life being breathed into an area of the city that was once a place of industry to somewhat a disused and abandoned area. “Up and coming” is the term I think!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Always respond asap, it feels like 48hrs max. The communication is AMAZING. All residents are always kept up to date with exactly what is happening. Communist specific and timely. A*.

Will have to think in this, but nothing comes to mind.

5This development review is rated 5.0 out of 5.0. A lovely place to live with an amazing concierge team!
We've been living here for 3 years now and have really enjoyed our time here. The building is well looked after, and it's been a great place to live. But what really makes this place special is the concierge team. They're honestly the best! Everyone is always so friendly, welcoming and happy to help. A special shoutout to Jodie and Abbie, who we've had the most contact with over the years. They've both been absolutely lovely, always approachable, helpful and genuinely caring. Even the little things, like a friendly chat or a warm welcome when you come home, make a real difference. A big thank you to Jodie, Abbie and the entire concierge team for making our experience here so lovely. We really appreciate everything you do!
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is a really nice place to live, with plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants nearby. It's convenient for everyday life, with good transport links and everything you need within easy reach. Overall, we've really enjoyed living in this neighbourhood and find it a comfortable and convenient place to call home.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Whenever we've had an issue or needed help, the team has been approachable and supportive. They're always happy to listen and do their best to get things sorted.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How lovely and welcoming the concierge team would be! Jodie, Abbie, Annie, Daniel and Mark are all amazing and make this place feel like home. It's something you don't really think about during a viewing, but having such a friendly and helpful team makes a huge difference when you actually live here!
