ROC haus Architecture

Andrew provided us with fantastic customer service and advice on our house refurbishment. He took the time to detail his thoughts on our property and was extremely professional. I would recommend Roc Haus and Andrew to anyone as we really did receive a great service and were very happy with the final result.

ROC Haus successfully obtained planning permission in 2021 and then got it renewed in 2024. Many thanks to Andrew, Sabina and Karen

I highly recommend Andrew for his expertise, patience and professionalism. Andrew has freely provided excellent advice to me and I consequently did not need to engage him as the matters resolved on the basis of his valuable guidance and knowledge. Andrew grasped the issues so well and I extend my huge thanks for all the attention and time he has given me.

I had real problems trying to sell my small commercial office as an office, but with the help of ROC haus, we managed to get planning for a HMO, meaning I can now not only easily sell, but have uplifted the value of the property, so thank you very much for all your help and very happy to leave a positive review, as I am so appreciative that we got there.

When I first met Andrew I wanted a simple but specific plan .He asked Sabina to handle the job and she delivered it 100% . There were problems along the way with planning departments but Sabina came up with solutions to move the project along . I think ROC have a wide network of people they can seek help from when the brief is a little more unusual. Job well done to Sabina and all the team .

Fantastic experience with ROC haus, from the get-go. We screened a number of architects to begin with and found the level of Andrew's creativity, diligence and attention to detail a cut way above the rest. This continued through the design stage - he was always on call whenever we needed him, acted as a true advisor (with our interests / preferences front-and-centre) and made the entire process a very smooth one. This was our first construction project and we would, without doubt, use ROC haus for the next one!

Roc haus provides a high quality service. They are easy to deal with and always put the clients interests first. Sabina couldn't have done more to ensure the process of getting planning permission was as smooth as possible.

Andrew has designed our four bedroom (to be) house extension in Loughton. He’s always been lovely to chat to and deal with. To achieve planning permission for the design, Andrew used three applications to put it all together. He has expert knowledge of the subject and always very approachable. Currently working on our house right now, we are very excited to see the project come together. We can’t thank Andrew enough for all the time and attention he gave us!

I found Andrew through a social media group when I reached out looking for someone to assist with some drawing details. Andrew responded quickly, and said he could help. I couldn't believe the quality and speed of work he completed for us. I was really blown away by the whole process. I've been going round in circles with other architects trying to complete my job, so this experience was INCREDIBLE to say the least, We can now proceed with the job thanks to the professionalism shown by Andrew and his team. I thoroughly recommend Roc Haus, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Andrew. a VERY happy customer!

Professional and responsive service from Andrew and team. Expert guidance throughout, and plenty of patience when answering our questions. Recommended!

ROC haus are a fantastic architectural design firm and highly recommended. From the first time we met Andrew, we got a great feeling that we didn't get from competitors. Rather than obsessively push us to answer a set of formulaic questions to plan our house extension (e.g. how many rooms do you want, how much will you spend, how many sq. metres to extend by, etc.), Andrew asked us about our life (e.g. our family, how we used our spaces, what was important to us about our existing house, etc.) and came up with a proposal off the back of this. It felt like he wasn't trying to oversell or short-change, but instead was always keen on helping us make the right choices for us. This extended into the more detailed design process with Andrew and Sabina. We never felt rushed into making decisions, and our uncertainty was met with guidance and more questions, rather than impatience or frustration. Andrew would make a point of never saying 'no' to something he didn't agree with, but instead to 'show' rather than tell how it might not be the right decision. This meant we stayed informed and in control throughout. Sabina would always come up with creative ways of trying to solve challenges for us, and she was always happy to keep finding a solution that would work for us. Overall, we've really enjoyed the experience of working with ROC haus. We received planning permission on our first application, and we intend to use ROC haus throughout our project because of the relationship and trust we've built with them.

Sabina went above and beyond to assist with the successful planning application. Will recommend!

I was recommended the services of Roc Haus by Innovate Design and Build Ltd. I’ve been in contact with Andrew Sheeley – Senior Partner, Chartered Surveyor and Creative Director for the last three months during the major renovation project of my Victorian home. Andrew has gone above and beyond and he is by far the most knowledgable, gracious, personable and helpful professional I’ve come across. Andrew has advised me on how to find the source of building issues, signposted me to competent tradesmen and a structural engineer. The tradesmen he has recommended have been extremely helpful during my renovation project. Most importantly, Andrew has always been on the end of the phone to answer my queries, regardless of how small. The support he has provided is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend ROC Haus. Best wishes S Smith

Andrew and Sabina really helped us with our proposed renovation - their designs and ideas were excellent and we couldn’t be happier with their suggestions. Andrew had surprising and innovative solutions to various challenges my wife and I had - thank you! We built a great rapport with Andrew who came to measure and discuss our needs essentially. I would highly recommend ROC Haus as they are honest - which is just what you need when you are renovating - they won’t be afraid to tell you when something is not a good idea! Thank you for your help!

I went through a thorough due diligence process when selecting an architect for my double story extension. What impressed me about Roc Haus was their tenancy to detail and being fairly priced. During the design process Sabina helped with working on the optimal layout as well as helping conclude council queries quickly. GU

The team at ROC haus have been an absolute pleasure to work with! Very clear process , continued professional guidance from concept , schematics and council planning permission approval. Thank you Andrew, Chrystalla and Karen. Kindest regards, Dan

We were recommended ROC Haus and Andrew from a friend and have to say the service has been outstanding. We had doubts from a terrible experience from a previous architect but Andrew and his team have been super professional, always on hand to help with any queries and really patient too. Nothing is ever a problem for them and they have a real person centred approach to their work. From our initial conversation right through to the planning and applications, they have been a pleasure to work with. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and can't speak highly enough of the service provided. Well done Andrew and all your team.

Chrystalla and the team of Roc Haus were very quick in organising a site meeting and provided the drawings in a good timely manner. Would highly recommend their services and will sure be coming back for follow up work.

ROChaus was recommended to me by a friend who’d just completed a fabulous home extension project designed by them. I’m so glad I used ROChaus for my project. I found them professional and organised and all-round good guys. I’m very happy with the plans they came up with. I was quite unsure and indecisive through lack of experience with building projects but they were patient and kind and helped me with decisions by clearly and simply outlining all the possibilities and their implications/cost etc. We’re at the tendering stage now and they are also helping me with this. I’m so glad that I chose ROChaus and can thoroughly recommend them!

The ROC Haus team approach is one of high expertise and great enthusiasm in pursuing matters.....most refreshing ,and in our case exceeded expectations ! We much look forward to growing our relationship in pursuit of our dreams !!! David & Sofia

We used Roc Haus to design our rear single storey extension. Sabina really listen ti our brief and designed something way beyond our expectation. Due to price rises etc we had to make amendments to our original plan, and Sabina was super flexible and worked hard to keep as much of our original design with cost in mind. The result is amazing, it has changed the way we use the social areas of our house and the amount of space we now have is fantastic. Just a few finishing touches to go and some new furniture and we are done! We are so proud of the extension! Thanks from Amie and Alex.

The team at ROC haus were very helpful from start to finish and provided great communication as well as quick response times with any queries I had. Would definitely recommend.

I recently bought a run down house that was in need of lots of extensions and a general refurb. After discovering ROC haus through recommendations and meeting Andrew and the team, I proceeded with ROC haus... I am glad I did. The whole process was made so easy, it removed the stress completely. Andrew had great ideas on on the layout for the house, which we had not even thought of. Chrystalla and Sabina on the architectural team were a joy to deal with. Very creative and competent. Planning was achieved with minimal fuss! We had a difficult neighbour to deal with before the build started. Harkishan and Karen on the party wall side of things eased my neighbours concerns and protected the relationship. Thank god! We are now getting on with the work and I'm so glad that the planning and party process was dealt with so smoothly. Building can be stressful enough! Definitely recommend to others! Kind regards frank soper You the man

Roc haus helped us from start to finish and we can't thank them enough. They designed our dream family home, liaising with our neighbour to get a large joint application granted, which enabled us to have the 4 bedrooms we required. They also helped me get the structural engineering package in place, completed the party wall process for us, recommended contractors and advised on the contract once we had selected our preferred contractor. It was so helpful and reassuring to have them behind us throughout the whole process to make it as easy as possible.
