House Extension Professionals in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire

“The service we received was exceptional. Simon was professional, knowledgeable, and listened to exactly what we wanted to do. He ensured every aspect of our project was dealt with, from start to finish, smoothly and efficiently. He took all the stress out of every step of the process. Once we were ready to proceed he had recommendations and ideas of where and who we could contact, to help us get the building work underway. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We would highly recommend Design Solutions and would certainly use them again if we required any further work.”

“We highly recommend Andrew, we are absolutely thrilled with our new extension. Andrew listened to our needs to create a beautiful new downstairs family space and upstairs bedroom/ensuite that completely exceeded our expectations. We've found him to be very approachable and professional. The process of gaining planning permission went smoothly thanks to Andrew. He is excellent at communicating with clients and kept in constant touch throughout the project which we really appreciated.”

“Ian acted as our architect for an extension project back in 2001 and when we came to do a full renovation of our house 15 years later we were very happy to use his services once again. He is great to work with to realise your ambitions within your budget, get you over the line with the planning and building control authorities, find a contractor and then supervise the project through to completion. He has also helped a great deal with post completion and rectification issues and we are very happy with the results of our project with him. Ian is personable, thorough and professional and we have no hesitation in recommending him.”

“We engaged Kimble Roden to design our new open plan kitchen/dining/living room. Very impressed with their professional and helpful attitude throughout along with their attention to detail. We would highly recommend them.”

“First class from initial meeting and ideas to putting the plans into action. Egon dealt with all aspects of the project and planning permission was granted without any restrictions. We would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“From start to finish the whole process has been faultless. Our project was difficult in terms of both planning and design which caused several Architects to stumble. Annabelle however dealt with all aspects excellently achieving a no compromise design with a swift planning permission. The end result in my opinion is one of the best houses for sale in Alderley Edge.”

“Amy was great in helping us decide the possibilities with our project. We love the completed design, it's changed the way we live!”

“I feel very fortunate to have discovered Llama Property Developments. This came at a time when my wife and I were struggling to comprehend the sheer size and scale (and opportunity!) of our build. What you will get from Llama: 1) Honesty - they will not pretend or lie to you about what is possible/achievable. 2) Professionalism - I'm actually a Project Director in another field - but Andy's ability to run projects, to time, agreed spec and budget - and at any give time, see the 'whole picture' - is startlingly good and key to the success of your project. 3) Creativity - yes you're paying for a service - but having access to such a wealth of experience and ideas - which enables Andy and the team to make sensible, achievable and appropriate suggestions all the way through is a huge plus 4) Quality - the quality of the tradesmen/professionals in the Llama team really has to be seen to be believed. From Planning Consultant, Architect and Project Manager, to Builders, Carpenters, Interior Design etc - the output is incredibly good. I genuinely have not seen better. 5) Proven Track Record - this was a big thing for my wife and I (to put our minds at ease). Look at what Llama have achieved - their portfolio (and don't forget the awards!) isn't simply impressive - their work is stunning. At this end of the market, my experience is that some companies are still 'playing at it'. Llama are the real deal. I have no hesitations in recommending them and will be using them in future.”

“When we moved into our" tired" 1920s cottage we could see it had potential, needed updating and the current layout didn`t flow however we really didn`t know where to start. James had done an excellent job for me designing an extension on a previous property( Wychwood Cottage, Oakhill) so without hesitation we knew he was the right person to help us with this project too. He listened to what we wanted from our home and on visiting immediately saw the solutions. He split the work into 3 phases and advised us of the order to do. As we are living in the property this provided the benefit of concentrating on one area at time, thereby allowing better control of our budget and securing the finish of one phase before moving one to the next and enabling a break between phases to restore our sanity rather than having to live on a building site for months on end and the risk of going over budget and unable to complete any areas. The first 2 phases were reconfiguring the current cottage to make full use of the space available. The 3 rd phase is an optional extra : the addition of an orangery which would increase space and enhance the current cottage and wonderful views it affords. We have now completed phase 1 which has most definitely provided the Cottage with the "Wow " factor achieved by knocking the existing back room and kitchen into a light airy kitchen/ diner with a working area flexible dining area and retaining the log burner and chilling out area with sofas. Altering the position of the door to the previously messy utility room has enabled a shower room with toilet to be put in whilst till retaining laundry facility, storage and space for the dogs. A stable door through optimises light and views but provides the option that any mess can be hidden if necessary! It really is a lovely space and so flexible now - all our visitors are amazed at the difference and love the light and airy homely feel. W are about to embark on phase 2 which involves swapping a bedroom and family bathroom. The bathroom will then be above the utility room which also houses the boiler with the outcome of a larger 3rd bedroom and all the unsightly pipework at the back of the house will disappear as all water and waste will be on one side of the building. Thank you James your are a true inspiration!”
