Basement Conversion Professionals in Ash, Kent

“Imaginative, constructive and professional all the way from initial consultation through drawings and dealing with the council to gaining planning permission. A pleasure do business with.”

“SEAS were very professional and worked to a very high standard. They provided us with plans for an extension, they were finished promptly and at a very reasonable price. When they came to see us they went above and beyond helping us tweak what we wanted, to get the best overall outcome. I would definitely recommend their excellent service.”

“I was extremely pleased with Peter's highly focussed & dedicated approach. He continually went the extra mile during the 2-year project. Of particular note was his awareness of the latest products, and his skills with 3D visualisation software - it was extremely helpful to receive multiple 3D visualisation remodelling options. Highly recommended.”

“I have known John for several years and decided to provide JPD Architecture with an opportunity to design, obtain planning permission and building regulation approval accordingly. My design criteria was extremely unique with specific requests relating to usability of open plan living with particular emphasis on the unique design and quality of workable details. My development criteria has always maintained the ethos and emphasis not only within desirable locations but the new homes must at all times be designed uniquely, totally individual and uncompromising for my specific requirements. Having over 30 years in the development industry it remains critically important to engage the correct team of professional consultants to enable satisfactory execution of my specific requests. I can not speak more highly of John, He proved to be very helpful and always accommodating. A true old school gent who never complained if my personal alterations to a detail etc was required. John concluded the requested alterations and issued the revised drawings pretty much immediately. Any structural bearing he issued and liaised with my structural engineers immediately. John's son Tim has also joined the practice proving to be a real asset. I myself was delighted with Tim's ideas and proposals especially his attention to detail of the internal feature lighting designs i had requested which was by no means an easy task. Together the project was hugely successful which achieved amazing results. The attached brochure will endorse my comments and sentiments further. Good work guys,I am looking forward to commencing the immanent site initial designs hopefully within the month.”

“Miriam has been a brilliant architect for us. We hired her to design a 3 bed, 2 storey extension. We thought we already knew what we wanted in terms of layout and look, but she came back with a number of really exciting ideas that transformed our fairly mundane ideas into really exciting, but affordable designs. We had a number of difficulties with planning, none of them Miriam's fault, causing her to have to revise key details without losing the essence of what we wanted (lots of light and space). She was really succesful and we're really pleased with the outcome. We were very naive about the whole building process before starting the project and Miriam has held our hands throughout and been a fantastic support.”

“William has a great understanding of design and perfectly managed to put our thoughts and preferences into action. We are extremely pleased with the result. He took time to adapt the designs to our feedback, was patient and understanding. We highly recommend!”

“We found Prince & Gisbey through a recommendation; we were looking for a young, local architectural practice to guide us through a proposed re-modelling and extension to our recently-purchased 60's bungalow. Matt Gisbey came and visited, talked through in depth our ideas and wishes, and returned a week or two later with his thoughts on paper. We immediately liked some aspects of his design, and realised the value of bringing in a professional. Not everything suggested was to our taste, but between us in the intervening weeks, we honed the plans to achieve a balance between the practical and the aesthetic that would enhance our home and our enjoyment of it, whilst preserving and adding to the character of the property. Due to the coronavirus lockdown, some meetings have been conducted online, with Matt showing us very effective 3D computer generated images that really help to make the project come alive. We are very relaxed with the result, and plans have been submitted for local authority approval. Matt has moved on to the next stage, of detailing all the services, finishes, specifications, etc and to agreeing with us the locating and appointing of suitable building regs consultant and structural engineers. It is reassuring to have his guidance in these matters. As this review is written, no building work has commenced, so I cannot comment on the final outcome yet. However, we have enjoyed the process to date, Matt has followed a logical sequence to get to this point, and has always listened to our ideas, even if he has had to gently point out the practical difficulties of achieving them! We generally have found a good compromise and moved on. Matt himself is personable and good company, and has taken a close interest in our project. We expect to work with him through to the completion, and would recommend his calm, friendly but professional approach to anyone considering using an architect for similar work.”

“Pro Arkitects comes highly recommended from us after they helped us with our side extension and internal renovations. The drawings, planning and project management was spot on and made the whole process less stressful. Thanks again guys!”

“We bought a house designed by Rupert Davison at the beginning of the C20th and we wanted to create more bedrooms, bathrooms and living space. We needed someone who would be sympathetic to the original design, at the same time sensitive to our requirements. Gelarah Hirst listened to our needs and after agreeing the design, she consulted with us each step of the way. One of the lovely spaces she created for us was the sun room. The en suite bedrooms challenging but Gelarah found room for six double en-suites. the attic space was converted to en-suite bedroom and sitting room, a space which is filled with light most days. Whenever we have guests, which is often, we always have wonderful comments.”

“I have worked with Modern Sphere on a couple of projects now and I would highly recommend their services. Sophie is a very talented designer, her innovative ideas and passion for her work made the application extremely simple. Many times they have suggested ways to save money during the planning process, where other companies would exploit. I found them to be very good value, without any compromise. I look forward to working with them on my upcoming builds.”
