Basement Conversion in Reading, Berkshire

“I've worked with Totus Construction as a photographer on a number of projects. Can't ask for a better client! Very clear instructions, excellent communication, flexible and fast decisions. The projects that I worked on are beautiful and inspiring. Attention to detail and care for the clients - that's what I understood about Totus Construction.”

“An excellent finish to my bathroom. A few structural problems occurred due to bad workmanship in the past, but all the problems were sorted out at little extra cost to me. All work was completed on time and all the workers were very punctual, tidy and trustworthy. Would recommend the company to anyone who wants a good job done for a reasonable price.”

“Cant recommend Alex and his team highly enough. Hes done 2 separate projects for us, both with problems (due to planning, not them), and hes not rested until these issues have been sorted, going well beyond the call of duty. Dont hesitate to use them.”

“I hired Concept8 for a complete renovation project of a 4,000sqf family home over 12 months in 2013-14. The Concept8 team was responsible for architectural design, organizing tenders, sourcing contractors & materials, monitoring the entire process onsite & dealing with all contractors from start to hand-over (and beyond). I found in Concept8 a team of dedicated professionals, able to listen to our needs, highly knowledgeable in their domain, well-connected with a large network of professionals in the construction business, without which my own personal project would not have been a success.”

“Absolute Architecture was a joy to work with. Kate Cooper and her team worked with a tiny, decrepit home, large garden and stables from 1908 and turned the property into a show piece. They were sympathetic to the original design and area while making the home user friendly and comfortable for contemporary residents. They were knowledgeable about the many local laws and guidelines and used the best local craftsmen for the renovation and addition, all in a timely, warm manner. We are so proud of our lovely home; it came out truly beautiful. Thank you Kate!”

“The project is large extension of the 1960s bungalow including the front, side, rear and porch and increasing ridge height to create two storey dwelling. Currently at a building stage, expected to finish in 2020. AG Architecture Studio was involved from the early stages of the project including planning permission, building regulation and ongoing architectural support during building stage. From the planning permission stage, we have been very impressed with AG Architecture Studio professional approach, sensitivity to environment and creative yet pragmatic design which have been awarded with a planning permission for a house ideally suited for our family needs (despite a history of prior planning refusals). AG Architecture Studio services were invaluable in maximising space usage and accommodating specific requests on style and functionality. AG Architecture Studio provided very specific and well thought through Building Regulations drawings advising on materials and cost and being flexible and patient with changes inflicted at various stages in order to achieve the best possible outcome. AG Architecture Studio have been providing architectural support during the building stage, their input was extremely useful in resolving inevitable issues with the contractors. We can wholeheartedly recommend AG Architecture Studio services to achieve your dream home.”

“We wished to extend our house but it is a very unusual shape. We were looking for an Architect who could come up with a design for a 2 storey extension that maintained the character of the house but provided us with more usable living space. We chose Adapt because their initial design concept fulfilled all our requirements yet remained within our suggested budget. Although construction is not yet complete, our neighbours have commented on how much better the house looks. We are pleased at how much more space we will have when the work is complete and how the house will be far more suitable for us as we get older. Alan talked us through the whole process of Planning & Building Control approval & kept us fully informed during these processes. Additionally, he recommended suitable structural engineers and surveyors to assist us, and sent out tender documents to the various builders who were quoting for the work. Altogether, we were provided with an excellent service and would recommend this company without hesitation. We would recommend t”

“I first employed Sergiu and his team in June this year to completely gut and refit a 30 year old bathroom. Sergiu was quick to respond to my enquiry and provided a prompt quote for the project. I have never come across a more hard working, punctual, trustworthy firm whose quality of workmanship is of the highest standard. At every stage Sergiu kept me informed, had some really good suggestions and solved the inevitable complications that arose quickly and efficiently. They worked long days, respected my house (and my neighbours) and tidied up every night and produced a wonderful finished product on time and in budget. Sergiu really is customer focused and strives to provide quality and satisfaction for his customers. I was so delighted with my bathroom that I employed Sergiu on 2 more occasions - I had my lobby, lounge, stairs and landing repainted in June 2018. Again quality workmanship at a reasonable rate, on time and on budget. Finally, in August, Wise Renovation came and took down 6 internal doors and rehung and painted the new doors for me. I am a very happy customer and have no hesitation recommending this firm and will be using them again for my next project when funds allow.”

“Great company with a great attitude, we have been working with George and his team for several years in and around London area for smaller, medium, and large residential projects. Strong FIVE STARS from us.”

“Fineline Architechs offered us a fantastic service. We live in a Tudor, listed building which required a great deal of renovation and a total revamp of the large parts of the house. Fineline delivered a fabulous design which was both contemporary but also sympathetic to the original ancient building. Both Katie and Chris had great ideas and where a joy to work with. They were also excellent at dealing with our local council and conservation officer to ensure that the designs we submitted would have the highest likelihood of success, which indeed they did as we had the entire programme of works agreed by the planning department. I can not recommend Fineline highly enough and I would definitely use them again.”
