We called Stephen because our house wasn’t working, we had a tiny kitchen that was always a mess. Stephen worked with us from the ground up finding an expression for what we wanted and making it happen. What we have now is a completely different house that transformed our family and the way we live.

Stephen Waldron approached our rather small roof extension project with enthusiasm and care. He treated our house and our opinions respectfully, always listening to our many questions and answering or helping us answer them.

Not only were we happy with the design process but we were also grateful for Stephen’s extensive knowledge of materials, new technologies and his great experience of local planning procedures and building regulations.

I especially appreciated his allowance for ‘good light’, his meticulous efforts to fit our staircase in and his final bill – which came in under budget. I can’t complain about that!

We now enjoy our views daily.”

Within an hour of Stephen’s initial visit, he was able to show us a rough sketch of the completed conversion. Where we only saw a detached garage full of junk, Stephen saw a sun-room, shower room, utility room and bike shed, connected to the main house! This is a reflection of Stephen’s creativity and imagination. Stephen’s attention to detail and breadth of experience were invaluable in not only employing a reliable builder but in producing a finished product of the highest quality. Our requests for, as far as possible, “environmentally friendly” products to be used were readily taken up by Stephen, and suitable suppliers found. Throughout the building process, Stephen monitored progress by regular phone-calls, e-mails and site visits. The “aftercare” that Stephen provided was also second-to-none: the final payment only being made 3 months after the completion date.

From the offset, Stephen’s professionalism; knowledge; communication skills and detailed follow through on all aspects of the design and presentation to the Planning department were exemplary …… His foresight and recommendations for all aspects of the build to incorporate all of our requirements and ideas was a major reason we now have a finished build we are very happy with.

Stephen’s hard work and perseverance to push and negotiate through many stumbling blocks experienced from the authorities along the way are a major reason we have the property completed to the high standard we have.

Like many architects, Stephen works alongside his clients, but it’s his inspirational response to exploring a design from the very outset that creates momentum to many challenging projects.

He fully interpreted our Brief, but also evolved his designs as different aspects of the project evolved

He was exactly on time and understood the potential administrative issues with planning etc and had allowed a realistic buffer to accommodate these

Stephen has always been very competitive, but brings the full weight of his experience and advice

He did more than add value, he inspired some of the foundational directions of the design, after hearing what we wanted.

Our clients have given nothing but glowing reports about Stephen and the manner in which he talks them through the project. He has such an open minded way of coming up with ideas that greatly improve the quality of the project.
