“After extensive research we appointed Wighton Architects for our renovation and extension of a 4 bed Victorian house. From the very start of the process, Stuart impressed us with his eye for detail and aesthetic consideration. He presented multiple concepts, all of which were well considered and met the needs of our family and 'wish list'. Once we decided on the design, he worked very well with the planning department in Waverley despite being based in Leeds and smoothly gained permission. He played a key role in appointing the building contractor and then as project manager throughout in collaboration with the builder. His approach meant that the timetable was kept on track and any issues with the building firm swiftly and amicably resolved. He brought the project in on budget which was impressive given the scale of work. I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and Wighton Architects.”

“We initially engaged ParkDesigned (Edward) as a consultant to explore options with our property. Their enthusiasm and design flair turned a dubious ill thought out previous extension into a light filled, modern and very practical place to live. They were able to manage the whole design and planning process which certainly kept stress low. Park also provided us with recommendations re builders which we followed and they also provided management in this aspect as well and although one or two snags occurred during the 9 month project they were dealt with in a professional manner and too our satisfaction I would strongly recommend them - they are currently working on a new project for me and that says it all !”

“What an amazing man!!. Lee came around and got straight on with what he needed to do. He advised and guided to the best of his knowledge. He was punctual, professionally and very polite. He even emailed me his recommendations. I would highly recommend Lee and I will definitely be calling him back for future work - Thanks Lee”

“David was recommended to us to undertake the design work for the makeover and extension to our house where we have lived for the past 35 years. David quickly understood our objectives and patiently revised the plans several times to eventually produce the perfect solution. The project has now been transferred from paper to reality and we are 100% satisfied with the end result. We would highly recommend his expertise”

“We cannot speak highly enough of Nick and his team. Nick took time to get to know us and our property to ensure the designs created we’re just right for us and our home. He listened to what we wanted (rather than impose his ideas) and then offered different options to develop our idea, based on his experience and skills. The cost estimate was transparent and exactly as expected, as was the project plan presented at the outset. Most importantly, however, when communicating to us any objections raised by the planning office, Nick and his team had already devised a solution with which planning (with whom they obviously have good relations) were satisfied meaning that, despite a number of hurdles, the process was hassle free from our perspective. As I say, extremely impressed and highly recommended.”

“We moved back into our house at the end of October 2017 after a wonderful experience of having, to us, undertaken a major building project that began with Andrew Long Architects. At our first meeting with the Architect we discussed the primary objectives that we wanted to achieve in the project and looked at other jobs that needed doing building wise in the house and grounds. We rolled everything into the one project. Following on from that first meeting the Architect then came back with his initial ideas which we found very exciting. The site of our house is challenging because it is on a hill and slopes top to bottom and side to side. There are some mature trees on the boundary. These two factors present challenges that were resolved through the structural engineer that the Architect brought in. The site is not rectangular but has some interesting angles on it which the architect related to in his design with the result that the new extension and rebuilt terrace work in harmony with the shape of the site. From our first meeting we were helped and guided every step of the way. At no time did we feel we were being told what we had to have and suggestions were given with regard to different products to consider when deciding on what finishes we would like. This enabled us to go and see the products for ourselves which really helped in the decision process. One of these is a big feature window which is spectacular. During a course of meetings when the design was honed we felt we got to know the Architect and were confident in putting our complete trust in him and the team at Andrew Long Architects to forward the project through planning, finding a contractor to do the work and project manage the build. All of which were done excellently. We are delighted with the results and have no hesitation in recommending Andrew Long Architects.”

“Mr Hutchings designed and project managed our house extension in 2012- 2013. Having no personal experience of such projects we found Mr Hutchings' guidance invaluable. He was approachable, flexible (very happy to work around our children!) and could be contacted easily. Mr Hutchings has considerable knowledge of, and good working relationships with many local builders. This was of assistance in helping us to ensure that our project stayed within budget. Once bulding started there was a pleasant atmosphere on site and any problems were quickly and constructively managed. Mr Hutchings' skill and knowledge made him a very reassuring presence throughout our project.”

“Really easy and enjoyable to work with. Good communicator, clear with what to expect throughout the process, and honest with feedback. Gave us some interesting new ways to envisage what could be done with our extension and the space we had available. Would definitely work with again!”
