“This company are professional and plain amazing. From design to completion the communication is fantastic and they really understand and design what you really want.”

“Glen Thomas architecture provides an excellent design and architectural service. In recent years we have used Glen on numerous occasions and he never fails to understand the brief. I'm always pleased by his innovative design and understanding, which always leads to a first class finish. . We are currently in the process of building three of Glens designs, which cater to a modern way of living but still retain just enough of a traditional style. However if modern is what you are looking for, they've got that covered too. I always highly recommend Glen Thomas architecture.”

“We have just had an initial live design session with Brian to look at our refurbishment. He was extremely helpful throughout the process and really helped to bring the project to life. Looking forward to working with him over the coming months”

“We wanted to completely reconfigure the ground floor of our house and partvof our upstairs. We were very impressed with the professional service we received from Turley & Young. Their questions and suggestions were very good. The drawings, right through to the Building Regulation drawings and electrical requirements, were excellent and covered every aspect of the changes. We are very pleased with their service and would highly recommend them to others wanting plans etc. done for any work they have planned. .”

“James listened attentively to our business plans and produced a design that really worked with the physical constraints of the plot. I’d have every confidence in recommending his services and suggest early project engagement to help sense check your imagination!”

“We required an architect that had a sensitive and respectful touch when dealing with a property of over 300 years. The requirement was to design a two and single story extension in a sympathetic yet current way. Modernity of space was essential. The incorporation of several levels to provide increased head height and tie in with the existing building was to be a giant three dimensional jig saw puzzle. Christian took this on with both hands and I was confident that he would provide us with a cohesive and balanced result. So it proved. Obviously there were tweaks along the way, largely to satisfy the planning authority. Christian dealt with these imposed changes in a most professional manner and through him the end result is highly successful. Even allowing for the modifications the final plans were on time and right on budget. I am indebted to him and the person who put his name forward.”

“Carolyn and I worked on many residential projects involving extensive renovations and additions. Our approach was always to work with the client's desire to upgrade an older property while maintaining the neighborhood character and scale. Sometimes this involved Craftsman detailing, sometimes a more traditional look. We also worked on the exterior renovation of an outdated 2 story office building which included a new restaurant.”

“Elliott Pardington We had been looking at the Old School in Goodrich near to Ross-On-Wye for almost a year, the paperwork as always seemed to be taking for ever. As usual this was down to making certain that we had a clean title. We finally completed the October 2018. The school had been closed in 2000 and remained shut till a group of local builders purchased the school in 2008. They had plans passed by Herefordshire Council and work got underway. For whatever reasons work stopped in 2013 and the school was put on the market for sale in 2014. The prospect of converting the near two hundred-year-old school into four houses was something we were really excited about, so whilst the solicitors were getting the paperwork all set up, we wanted to find an architect with the skills needed to maintain the character and history of the building. The original builders had not used an architect to draw up the original plans but had used a structural engineer, quite frankly we had we were not given any working plans so it was a case of starting again. Looking back now we think ourselves as being very lucky to have been given the recommendation of Elliott Pardington. First impressions are very important, we knew from when we had our first site meeting with Elliott that we had been recommended to a first-class architect. What impressed us was how easy Elliott was to communicate with, he understood everything about current building method, what new materials were available to be used on our 200-year-old school. A building of this age had many issues that were needed to be overcome to make it into homes that were fit for the 21st century. As you would expect from any good architect the plans and detailing on the plans were perfect. Armed with a full set of plans our build got underway, our team of tradesmen and builders had detailed drawings on site, but if there was anything that they were unsure of or unclear about Elliott was always available at the end of a phone. It was nice to see him on site as well, as he popped in on occasions to see what progress we were making. The project was completed in November 2019. We have sold two of the four homes with another sale pending. We have all heard the expression “Planning and Preparation Prevent Poor Performance” and it is in no small part that Elliott Pardington provided us with a set of plans that made our project an outstanding success.

“Jonathan is a fantastic architect. He was very friendly and professional. He really listened to what I wanted and added his own ideas. The service provided was extremely efficient. Jonathan supported my application to the Council with his designs - which took all the stress out of it for me. Jonathan continued to support once the designs were signed off by checking quotes received for the work to make sure they incorporated the whole design. I cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough and will continue to recommend him.”
