Custom Build Home in Eton, Berkshire

“Hired Vorbild Architecture to design a few units I was remodeling. The work they offer is that of high quality and experience. I've dealt with other Architecture firms in the past, but they've always given sub par customer service and similar results in their work ethic and craftsmanship. Vorbild is one company I would recommend for any project big or small. I will definitely be working with them in the future.”

“The Market Design and Build has just finished a big project for us and we couldn’t be happier. The property is an old converted barn so the challenge was huge. Obviously there were some set backs but the communication in between us (property owners) and The Market was excellent so problems were solved quickly. These guys are not here to screw you over. Before signing the contract they guaranteed us that they wouldn’t leave the project until we were 100% happy.. And they didn’t! We are sure to use The Market again if we need more work done on a property in the future.”

“Marius and his team are not only professional and hard-working but also unusually sensitive and attentive to the requirements of the customer. We had very little experience of dealing with builders and were rather apprehensive at the start of the process but were soon completely reassured. They have a real can-do attitude and kept surprising us with their blend of practical and creative solutions to issues that arose. I couldn't recommend them more strongly.”

“Complete new bathroom installed following removal of old bathroom. Work was very professional, executed within agreed time frame and within budget. I was kept well informed throughout the process. I am extremely pleased with the end result. I have since used the company for the removal of my old kitchen and the preparatory work for the installation of my new kitchen (installation was done by kitchen supply company). Again I was very pleased with the work done by Battersea Builders. They kept to time and worked within budget and there was no problem with interfacing with the kitchen company. I will certainly use them again.”

“We used Kantec for a loft refurbishment. it was a complete rebuild with a technically tricky internal rearrangement, and a planning requirement that the external appearance remained unchanged. The build waa well managed and delivered on time to a very high level of finish. Builders were diligent and very respectful of the rest of the house. We are very pleased with the results.”

“Hired to design and deal with the local Planning Dept. The challenge was to interpret my ideas for a significant house extension - convert garage and build to the rear. I was worried that, like choosing any professional (Solicitor, Accountant etc), you find Too late that the relationship is not working and then it is difficult and costly to unwind the situation. However Alex has been knowledgeable and flexible - i fail to see how anyone could have a problem with him. He 'translated' my scribbles and made useful suggestions including a major change that will save money and yet achieve the same objective. Planning Permission has now been given the green light and i look forward to continuing to work with Alex during the project.”

“I was recommended to Clearly renovations by an AV contractor that I was considering using for the complete rebuild and refurbishment of my apartment. The job was not without it's problems as the flat is a lateral development situated over two clothes shops on a very busy market street that trades 7 days a week ( and obviously had to continue trading throughout,unhindered ) it's also in a conservation area with all the added pressures that ensued. From day one I found Jeremy and his team helpful and conscientious .There were a myriad of problems that manifested over the project but all were handled with professionalism and aplomb. I have been back in the apartment a year now and again the few snagging problems have been sorted out with minimum fuss.I could not recommend this company more highly and would certainly use them again.”

“I employed Architect Your Home to design an extension to my house by replacing a conservatory with a new family room added to my kitchen. The kitchen was redesigned as part of the architect's brief together with a new downstairs cloakroom/WC and storage area beneath the stairs in the hall. The architect was Andrew Catto, who is based in Putney. Andrew provided an initial half day consultation and sketch drawings for me, then at my request went on to prepare among other things the scheme level drawings, permitted development application, breakdown of work and tender documentation and invitations to tender to builders, coordination with the structural engineer, party wall and other permissions documentation, and a pre-contract site meeting with the chosen builder. I consulted him by telephone and email and at my home and at his office throughout the preparation stages and he was available for queries during the build. His design was an excellent solution to ensuring both light for the enlarged space and the practical use of the kitchen and new WC and storage area. He understood our needs from the outset and met them fully. He produced what the builders said were excellent drawings and design and they followed up with a high quality build which they completed several weeks earlier than estimated. My wife and I have been delighted with the result and which impresses all of our visitors. Andrew was very professional, timely and helpful to deal with and managed my expectations and occasional minor anxieties about what I was embarking upon. I was delighted with the Architect Your Home way of working which allowed me to choose the services I wanted and to know in advance what the costs were likely to be. I recommend their service.”

“Callender Howorth provided us with a full design and project management service for an extension and full refurb of our maisonette. They liaised with planners, architects, building contractors, kitchen companies and advised on sourcing of materials and interior furnishings. The project took 1 year from conception to completion. The people at CH were creative, professional and importantly a pleasure to work with. I would and have recommended them successfully to friends.”

“We used M H Costa for a total refurbishment of the N Road house. The level of craftsmanship they provided allowed the architect to bring the house back to it's period routes using good design executed beautifully by the Costa team. The team were impeccable effective with their time, they worked cleanly and left no margin for error. They stayed on track and were (give or take 3%) within the initial price for the tendered job. I found them a real pleasure to deal with and we could not be happier to live in what is now our beautiful home. I would have absolutely no reservation in recommending them to anyone committed to doing a project well.”
