“We desperately needed advice about planning and I called Sue, who was absolutely amazing with professional advice and support. She listed criteria and how and who to approach about our cornerns. Highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely use and recommend Ecclesall Designs to friends and family in the future.”

“Brightman Clarke have provided professional services for us on a number of traditional and contemporary design projects, ranging from new build housing developments to individual contemporary extensions and refurbishments. When dealing with Brightman Clarke we have always received a friendly, customer focused approach with a genuine desire to understand the complex needs of our project taking account of our budget and timescale.”

“Brilliant! Lang Architecture provided a well thought out design for our property and really listened, I mean really listened, to what we were trying to achieve. Professional, innovative and a joy to deal with throughout the process. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“They provide a very personal service. Very keen on the detail and excellent knowledge of the planning application process and how to obtain the best results. My applications for an extension and new build were successful thanks to their expertise despite many local objections. Overall an excellent result. Very satisfied.”

“I’ve been working with Jervis Design on my project which includes the conversion of three barns and my house extension. They’re great to work with in terms of professionalism, engagement and timescales. The 3D designs are second to none. The presentation of the designs is very impressive and will undoubtedly play a key role in the planning prospects of the project going forward. I would recommend Jervis Design to anyone.”

“We employed GRT Architecture on the recommendation of some friends. Joe did an excellent job providing a plan with a very workable solution to a complex space issue in an old stone cottage. We ended up with exactly what we wanted both aesthetically and practically providing us with more usable space than we thought possible. Joe was extremely helpful, sympathic to our wishes and the character of the building and the job was done in a timely manner.”

“James worked with us on plans for our extension. He has an intuitive approach to design, working with ideas flexibly and offers excellent solutions to problems. James has good communication skills, keeping us in the loop throughout the whole process. Plans were completed with innovative ideas and options that helped us to clearly visualise the completed build. We couldn't recommend his service any higher.”

“I appointed Julie Richards in January 2016 to carry out a complete refurbishment of the two bedroom 'Warner' style maisonette I own and rent out in Leyton, London. It was agreed the works should be completed by April at the latest, and this was achieved. The property had fallen into considerable disrepair during a lengthy tenancy of almost a decade, only fetching a low rent that reflected this state of affairs. In January 2016 the existing tenant moved out and I took this opportunity to bring the place into line with average rental prices for the area, which valuations indicated had risen a great deal since my original investment. Within a strict budget of 25k Julie's brief was, therefore, to strip the place out entirely and build it back up to a standard that would guarantee the financial return necessary to recoup the expense, whilst providing enduring value going forward. It was a given that the kitchen and bathroom would have to be completely replaced. Julie's choices were tasteful, economical and above all - with limited space - practical. All the existing decor had become too tired to be restored effectively, so Julie also designed and oversaw a complete redecoration. Of course scratching the surface brought ever greater issues: large areas of plastering coming away, and the apparent obsolescence of the electrical circuitry and aspects of the plumbing amongst them. She coped admirably with all of these things as they arose. She also showed an appreciative touch with some of the more 'period' features such as sash windows, sliding doors and wooden floorboards stripped, sanded and varnished to remarkable effect. (We never did get round to rehabilitating the bricked in hearth due to the narrow budgetary restraints, but the will was there!) The lighting design was also improved, adding to the overall feeling that my property had been transformed beyond recognition. Julie managed to incorporate these things into her scheme of work without - as I greatly feared - allowing timescale and budget to spiral out of control. She negotiated with a wide range of tradespeople directly herself, many of whom were her existing contacts. This was all a great relief to myself, having never embarked on a project of this scale before. I hope this helps, please don't hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss anything further.”
