I have nothing but the highest praise for Nick, Kate and the team at Berkeley Place for the work that they did for me on my Clifton flat. From a leaking shower room to noise from neighbours, they gave me excellent advice as to how I should deal with these issues, and then organised and scheduled all of the trades needed to deal with them. Everyone turned up when they said they would, and the work was completed to a very high standard. I found that having only one person to liaise with who made all the arrangements, brilliant. I would highly recommend Berkeley Place. I will certainly be using them for my next project!

We met with Nick and from day one our project has been planned and carried out faultlessly. We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Berkeley Place and the team. Special thanks to Chris Thorne who dealt with every query and decision making with professionalism, he was cost conscious and handled the team perfectly. An absolute pleasure to work with and it was a huge relief to have him on board. Many thanks and Phase I complete!

Berkeley Place completed a stunning flat renovation for me in Clifton in 2020, despite the challenges of Covid 19. Kate come up with brilliant ideas of how to make better use of the space available including adding an en-suite and clever storage solutions. The team were able to safely complete the project through the pandemic and made it a stress free process. The quality of the end finish was amazing, bringing out the beauty of the original features whilst creating an overall contemporary living space. I would not hesitate in recommending Berkeley Place and would definitely use them again. Jenny Clayton

Nick has been a real star, serious, professional and capable. I had a weird problem in my kitchen, and he addressed it the best he could. I would definitely recommend him for your jobs. His courtesy and availability go over and above what I have previously experienced from businesses like his. If you are tired of contractors who are coming late, are not reliable and messy, here we go: he will exceed your expectations.

We have worked with Nick as the client's architect on many projects over the last ten years. The majority of these projects have been with Listed Buildings. Nick has a deep understanding of the design issues, economics and sensitivity required to make these projects successful and provide guidance for the clients through the process. His friendly and helpful attitude helps the clients feel confident that their projects are in a safe pair of hands.

I received an excellent, very professional advice from Nick! He clearly knows what he is doing and I was so happy to receive such a great service. Nick replied very quickly to my inquiry and managed to squeeze in a visit within his busy schedule, as my roof situation might have needed an urgent repair. I'm very happy with the service and would recommend Nick's services without a second thought!

Couldn't have asked for a better job - Berkeley Place really exceeded any expectations with brilliant project managing and guidance from start to finish. It was really a case of handing the keys over and coming back to a fantastic finished project. Nick, Kate & the Berkeley team were on hand to manage every aspect, even going the extra mile to help out where possible and making the process incredibly smooth. The renovation was finished to an impeccable standard, within budget and completed well on schedule. Cannot recommend enough!

We hired Berkeley Place to help us convert two flats in an Edwardian property back into a single dwelling. In retrospect it was one of the best decisions we could have made in the whole process. Nick and his team helped us source the various contractors to gut the house, renovate and restore it back up to the beautiful home it is today. Everyone we worked with was brilliant and worked to an extremely high standard. Berkeley Place managed not only the finances but also the inevitable issues which arose which kept some of the stress levels down. There is no way we would have been able to complete this project in such a short period of time, had we managed this project ourselves. As well as being highly professional and knowledgable, Nick and his team were also very pleasant to work with and I would happily recommend them or indeed employ them again.

Berkeley Place are truly fantastic. Nick and his team were very hands on from the get go and always available to answer any questions we had - from before we purchased right through to the end. The contractors they suggested were friendly and professional and completed the job to a very high standard.

We supported Nick and his co-investors with a strategic and challenging off market transaction. The high profile Grade 2 listed property which comprised over 10,000 sq ft of commercial space, together with scope for further development represented an attractive opportunity for the customer. Whilst the property eas in unloved condition, the building was efficiently reorganised and renovated to deliver a sizeable rent uplift via a new tenant and lease arrangement. Latterly the sale of the property provided further investor returns.

Living overseas and having bought a rather run down but a gem of a Georgian Grade 2 listed townhouse in Bristol , absolute trust and faith in our project manager for the complete renovation that our house needed . In one word Nick and his team at Berkeley Place , “ delivered”. The whole house , all 5 stories were gutted , front and back gardens redesigned and planners dealt with , all within the confines of very awkward access . The opportunity for conflict with our new neighbours was obvious , but Nick and his various contractors worked with the deftness that would have made a professional PR company proud . At the end of what was a year long project , our next door neighbour told me he missed our contractors , which has to be a first ! The quality of the workmanship , the willingness to go the extra mile , and the professionalism of the financial management of what was a complex project , would all lead me to recommend Nick and his team to anyone with a similar renovation in mind .

Berkeley Place have been contracted for various requests at a number of our properties, ranging from major refurbishments to kitchen and bathroom installations and decorative works. The quality of the work has been faultless – Nick and his team were always willing to go the extra mile and provided excellent communication throughout the process of each project. We will certainly be using them again and would not hesitate to recommend Berkeley Place.

Berkeley Place delivered our year-long house renovation project, while we lived in the property. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any large renovation projects where you need all the strands pulling together to be delivered as a whole. Nick brought together the right people at the right time and monitored all the financials, dealing with any pricing pushbacks that were necessary. He managed issues arising and negotiated practical solutions, keeping the emotions of the project on an even keel and therefore absorbing those stresses and strains of living through a renovation.

I was introduced to Nick through a local business network as I needed a local project manager / developer to manages the expensive renovations to our new house. Being new to Bristol we needed local expertise and Nick and his team at Berkeley gave that in spades. The team at Berkeley were fantastic in identifying our needs early, appointing the right architect and finding, appointing and managing the wide range of experts needed to build our project. I would recommend Berkeley Place to anyone who is renovating and extending their home in Bristol and the surrounding areas.

It was great luck on my part finding Nick... After only a couple of meetings, I left him the keys of the house. A large old houses with extensive redecorating, so there were snags, and decisions to be taken to keep costs in check. Nick and his team were not very efficient, pleasant to work with and always ready with good sensible advice. The house has been transformed, and I am about to give Nick my house keys again for a second round...

We used Berkeley Place for a substantial project on a grade 2 Georgian country house including extensive refurbishment, decoration, reconditioning 300 year old windows etc. NIck, Alex and the team were always quick to respond and happy to do the extra stuff that keeps the stress to a minimum! I would have no hesitation to recommend the service. We have infact gone on to do another two projects with Nick already.

Nick helped us with the planning and conception of our project and managed the entire process through planning, build and delivery. Everything was delivered to time, spec and cost. Something we have never previously experienced on projects. Most importantly it was hassle free for us, truly a turn key solution. Having approached a project in the way Berkeley Place do thinks we would never use a conventional builder again.

I approached Nick to appraise a property I was enquiring to purchase and renovate. As it was going to be my first development I wanted input from someone who was experienced in this area. Nick was able to give me a full assessment of the possible work that would need to be undertaken, just from a review of the agents' photographs of the property. He was able to guide me on costs by area of the property too. I was really impressed with Nick's knowledge - he was really supportive yet warned me of the potential risks of this particular development. Its rare that you find someone who wants what is best for you and not just after your business. Unfortunately I was unable to negotiate the price down low enough to make the renovation worthwhile and proceed. Overall, my customer experience with Nick was exceptional. He is generous with his time and explains complex issues in a way that is easy to understand. I really valued his expert opinion on this project.

Berkeley Place was recommended to us by a friend as we recently bought a flat which needed renovation, including 2 bathrooms, kitchen, and various windows. It was not possible to carry out the work with us in occupation, and as our main home is in France, we wanted a reliable company to déliver the works to a high standard,and within budget. We would not visit the site until each phase had been completed. The project has been divided into 4 phases and the first two have been completed with excellent results.

We appointed Berkeley Place to project manage a substantial house extension and refurbishment, and the construction of a swimming pool and tennis court. Nick provided some valuable extra input on the initial design and ensured a smooth outcome for gaining planning permission on what was a sensitive application given the listed building and green belt status. Nick ran the tendering process for the builders, providing us with choices, and we then selected the building company that best suited our requirements. The project was a 10 month project, which was delivered on time and within budget. I highly recommend Nick and Berkeley Place. They were on site and always available, ensuring the project was going to plan. They were a dedicated team, who were extremely committed to ensuring our requirements were achieved, and as clients, we were totally satisfied with the end product. We are absolutely delighted with our house and are very thankful to Nick and his team.

We are delighted with our final new builds (x 2). Nick's builders and suppliers were all excellent, professional and hard working. The site was always kept tidy and safe, and our wishes were always met. Nick's project management was wonderful. He was responsive and quick to deal with queries. I felt Nick understood our vision clearly and more importantly worked within our budget.

My fears about undertaking such a major renovation, of 'runaway' costs and of disruption to tenants occupying other flats in my Clifton house, were allayed! - In fact, I greatly enjoyed the whole process working with the Berkeley Place team and the outcome is fabulous. Later, I wanted to make an addition to the kitchen area and contacted Cass at Berkeley Place who had project managed the refurbishment. She replied by return and was able to source the exact fitting and arrange installation. Much appreciated. I won't hesitate to invite BP for both residential and commercial projects in the future.

Berkeley Place looked after the substantial refurbishment of our 3-bed Victorian flat in Clifton. We have to say that it was an absolute pleasure working the Project Manager, Cass. We always found her to be highly professional with a keen attention to detail, and at the same time very personable. We were always impressed with how promptly she responded to our emails at the end of each day, during the entire 4-month project, and she was always very patient with us. Working with Cass fully justified our decision to employ Berkeley Place to look after the project for us. We were absolutely delighted with the finished result!
