Sustainable Design in Wokingham, Berkshire

“Avinu designed and installed our home media and computer systems in a new apartment in 2008. Messrs. Roberts and Farquar were knowledgeable and imaginative in the design and professional and and punctual in its installation. The after sales service has been attentive. They are delightful people to work with and have become personal friends.”

“I asked SA designs to design and complete a kitchen for me in my old house. The service provided by Steve was amazing with incredible attention to detail. When finished, it was stunning! I loved every minute me and my family spent in there afterwards. We've just moved and I've contacted them again recently to talk about my next SA Designs kitchen, due to start in 2017! I can't wait!”

“Kantec was the building contractor on our recent project to build a rear extension to a 1930s three bedroom semi-detached house. Both the project manager and the builders did a very good job and were all friendly and helpful. It was the first time that we had been involved in major building work and the project manager was very good at explaining the work that was being done, how the project was progressing, any problems that arose (all were relatively minor) and the options that were available to us (either to address those problems or improve on the design). Very important to us was the detailed scope of work that specified a cost for each activity and which, together with the schedule, provided a clear basis for the project, indicating when work would be done and the associated payments due. Any variations that arose were also clearly presented, following discussions with us, and consequently we had confidence that the work was under control at all times. Overall we would not hesitate in recommending Kantec as a building contractor for a similar project.”

“VC Design was recommended to me and I would do the same without hesitation. We contacted Veronica about drawing up plans for our ground floor extension and although conceptually we had a clear idea of what we wanted to she was invaluable in advising us how to best use the space and our options within the parameters of planning. She also contacted previous clients and arranged for us to see the work they had done, this allowed us to see first hand some of the ideas we had discussed. Veronica submitted the planning application and we have now received our approval - a job very well done.”

“Alex transformed my kitchen space from something ordinary and poorly planned to a fantastic family space that we all can now enjoy everyday. He though of every detail to make the most of the space and made sure I didn't over spend too. Would absolutely recommend him for large renovations to a smaller extension and re-design like mine.”

“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.”

“We were delighted with the service we received from Willow Grey Interiors. We hired Caroline to overhaul our living room and master bedroom. She helped us every step of the way, from choosing furniture, paint colours and accessories to designing bespoke furniture. She even painted our existing bedroom furniture to save us money - and the results looked brilliant! We didn’t feel pressurised at any point, and really felt like she took the time to understand what it was we wanted, while also stretching our ideas to give us two rooms with a wow factor. It was really helpful to just pay for what we wanted, rather than only having the option of one complete service, so we were able to spread the costs of the design and not spend silly money, which is what we thought we would do hiring an interior designer. Really happy with the service and would highly recommend!”

“Gina gave some great advice when we were re-designing our livingroom and was great at helping us pick furniture that suited our taste and needs at the time. She was s pleasure to work with.”

“I am happy to highly recommend Metre Squared architecture. Gilda provides a wealth of experience. She was able to convert our ideas and vision to realistic designs, providing a range of options for us to consider. Gilda was patient and flexible to work with and was able to clearly and simply explain the end to end process from design and planning permission through to building works and building control. I have learnt so much through this process and have appreciated Gilda's expertise and support.”

“I am a professional guitar teacher who works from home. Jo designed me a recording / teaching studio. I am very pleased with the result. I spend most of my day in the studio. Since the upgrade I am more creative, relaxed and happy. Thanks a lot Jo Darius”
