Complete Kitchen Renovation Professionals in Cowes, Isle of Wight

“We have always received a brilliant, professional and timely service from this team. We are a property promoting company and the layouts provided for small or large scale developments are always, thoughtful and respectful of the planning requirements which of course differ from planning authority to planning authority. We have no doubt in our minds that users of their design services, will like us continue to come back time and time again”

“A fantastic service which I would certainly use again and recommend highly. The drawings provided the best possible use of space and all communication throughout the process was clear and professional.”

“Natalie not only had the vision to create a unique design for our extension, she has been helpful in every way. She has an extensive repertoire of ideas which has helped us through. She has always been attentive & helpful with all issues of the project. She has always been there to listen to issues & help sort. We would highly recommend her.”

“Last Spring we had the exterior of our rather large Victorian house renovated and redecorated by Alresford Design and Build. We have no technical building knowledge and so relied on Garry and Josh to observe and recommend actions on our behalf. We were invited to inspect any area in question and the alternative actions were clearly and objectively laid out. The end product is (one year on) excellent and we feel that was money well spent. The combination of genuine niceness, expertise, attention to detail and understanding made the whole disruptive process easily bearable. Soon after the work was finished, someone who lives in a nearby street called on us to compliment on the look of the property and asked for the paint colour! These are genuine craftsmen of the old school of thought and deserve patronage.”

“Very professional service. Listened to what you wanted but able to give excellent advice. The drawings submitted were of high quality and builders were able to work from them and get the job done. Deadlines were met good value for money spent. Highly recommended.”

“In designing our new kitchen there were two major hurdles – a narrow L shaped room opening into an about to be built orangery; and a husband who wanted high gloss white and handless units. We invested considerable hours in kitchen design shops but felt that what we were getting would look like a laboratory or a dental practitioner. We decided that the designs were too linear and we needed some curves and a friend recommended Johnny Grey. We met with Johnny Grey and suddenly we could see some light at the end of the kitchen design tunnel. He listened to our needs and wishes and produced a set of designs which unquestionably surpassed anything else we had previously come up with or had envisaged. He recommended a series of zones for our kitchen – reception/home office ; high tech prep area; cooking /informal dining. He combined different English woods with concrete; marble with corian and stainless steel ; and they work superbly together . We love our new kitchen / informal dining area and it continues to bring us pleasure after 18 months. It unquestionably has the WOW factor and is admired by all our friends. It also has fantastic storage capacity and all the modern gadgets. We were very involved at all stages and it was a pleasure to work with Johnny and his team. We visited the company making the units and were very impressed with the standard of craftsmanship. All of his team are first class artisans”

“Shaun grasped my requirements quickly, undertook the work with minimal fuss enabling building control and construction to start on site as quickly as possible. One happy (professional) customer”

“Nick helped us with the restoration of an 18th century house over several years. He was not fazed by any of the unexpected problems the house threw at us and solved all of them in a practical manner and with the minimum of fuss. He is very strong technically but is also willing to get his hands dirty and explore the nooks and crannies. He has an easy and friendly manner and worked well with the various contractors on site. He also has established good relationships with the local planning, conservation and building officials, which proved very important for a project of this kind. We would happily recommend Nick to anyone needing architectural support on a restoration project.”

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Matt at Fraiserline Architecture he was thoroughly professional in everything that he produced for us over a two year period”

“My husband and I have been considering for a long time how best to efficiently reconfigure our downstairs and outside space in a way that will work for our lifestyle and family. Neither of us has any design experience or skill and have struggled to get our heads around what would work best. We had previously done some research into architects/ designers to help us get something we really love, but found that they were hugely expensive and required a commitment to do the whole job for it to be worth their while. We came across residence, and it was exactly what we were looking for - a simple and cost effective way to get some great design advice upfront at the first stage of the process, without having to commit to a huge project, allowing us to explore and test different ideas, with really thoughtful touches that accommodate our specific needs/ the way we use our space. The whole process was done from our home through videos, emails and over the phone, which made it very convenient, and I was amazed by how much detail and accuracy could be gleaned in this way. residence has also helped guide us through the sorts of considerations we would need to think about if taking the project forward with regard to building regulations and planning permission, and the level of structural works required for different options, even contacting the Council on our behalf. This has been enormously helpful and time saving. We have decided to take forward one of the ideas we discussed with residence, and will be working with residence on the next stage of detail to get the level of aesthetic finish we know we wouldn't be able to achieve on our own. This whole process has really given us the confidence that we will end up with a beautiful space that works for us, and within our budget. We would highly recommend.”
