House Extensions in Wokingham, Berkshire

“Living through a kitchen extension on a terraced London house isn't fun. We both work full-time and have two children at school so returning at the end of each day to the property once works had commenced could be a little stressful; but PlusRooms protected our downstairs areas, created a temporary kitchen for us and were really considerate of the fact we were living through the works. They project managed the whole thing right from design, costing, adjustments, planning, build scheduling, (prompting us what to buy and when), right through the build - and we couldn't be more delighted with our new space. Living through building works is unpleasant but was made less so with Robbie and James' support and professionalism. We had the odd snagging that needed resolving at the end of the job, which you would always expect, so we are more than happy to recommend PlusRooms and may be using them again next year!”

“Refurbishment. Excellent service from start to finish. I was given an immediate quote along with a break down of all the costs. Work completed within agreed time frame and have loved my house ever since. Great job! highly recommend!! Thank you to Aaron and The Market Design & Build team.”

“Very happy with the work done by Totus as I was looking for the right builder for almost 5 months but it was worth it. We have done a large project where the house was extended throughout. In particular, I was impressed with the work done by Andrew as they completed all the work 2 weeks before the schedule. Also I had a total transparency through the entire process of costs due to the regular meetings with the site manager where all variations in costs were discussed and all the changes required. Most of the time it was because I wanted to change a few things and the team was very flexible and performed work to a high standards. I have only had 2 occasions through this build where something was put in the position (e.g. a door & a glass partition) I did not want it. In both cases, they replaced it with my requirement free of charge – no debate or discussion. Very glad with over all service and would highly recommend Totus.”

“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.”

“I've known Veronica for over 20 years, she designed our first kitchen extension in the early 90s. She had a great deal of creative input in the design of the modern house we built in South Africa, she visited the plot and understood exactly the sort of build we wanted. She has great imagination and flair and I have no hesitation in recommending her services.”

“Following on from an extension, we used MKPBS again. We had our entire en suite ripped out and redone. Again we had someone there every day without fail. We have a water pressure system at the house and no water tank and they are able to see all issues that arise and come up with a solution to all problems. They have solved our water pressure problem and we now have a stunning new bathroom that matches our requirements. They have also added extras to the master bedroom, new radiator, new plug sockets for downstairs, and are re-decorating the whole thing. We will definitely use again”

“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.”

“Patrick + Ryan was recommended to us to help with a fairly major house renovation, including extending and remodelling the kitchen space and adding a loft. Having never used an architect before, we weren't necessarily sure what to expect, so feel extremely lucky we found Patrick + Ryan and had a really high level of consistent expertise, professionalism, knowledge and creativity the whole way through the project. Patrick listened to what we wanted, design-wise, and looked at how we used or would be using the spaces to come up with extremely clever design ideas -- including fitting a fantastic bathroom in the loft bedroom space and making downstairs open-plan -- which completely enhanced our thinking. The design of our house is fairly unique in our area, plus we live in a conservation area so this meant limitations to what we could and couldn't do. We were definitely in safe hands -- Patrick handled the planning process beautifully and seamlessly. In fact, the whole process from drawing up the plans, making adjustments along the way and the build were seamless. We couldn't be happier with the end result, almost a year on, we still open the front door and can't quite believe how fantastic every element has turned out to be. We can't recommend Patrick + Ryan highly enough.”

“We worked with Concept 8 on the complete refurbishment of our 1970s house to bring it into the 2000s. I met with 4 different architects and chose Concept 8 because they listened best to what we wanted and did not try to impose their own ideas. However, they added some great additions and we are really pleased with the end result. Very professional; easy to understand their process; met all deadlines and very patient with our constant queries and multitude of changes! Their thoroughness ensured that the build went smoothly and that most decisions were made upfront. We therefore came in on budget and on time. Have recommended them to friends who have also been very happy with their work.”

“I have used imby3 as architects and designers for a large rear garden revamp which included an entertainment area, photographic studio and complete landscaping (hard and soft). I am now engaged with them to remodel the top floor of our house and add a first floor extension of ~60 sqm. I have been dealing with Nick Taylor as my main contact and I found that he is really meticulous in his questioning and qualification of how we live and how we want to use our space to ensure it fits our lifestyle - whilst at the same time ensuring that our investment brings charm, character and value to the property. I uploaded photos onto houzz showing the final product of the design that imby3 did for me. Needless to say that I am happy to recommend imby3.”
