“Detailed Planning were recommended to me by a friend. We found their prices very reasonable so instructed them to draw up plans for our extension.

Right from their initial visit and all the way through to the finished plans we could not have asked for better service.

They work extremely well with their recommended engineer, surveyor and building control company to deliver a very good package.

Thank you Paul, Emily and everyone at Detailed Planning. We can’t wait for our extension to be completed.”

Vinay Rughani, Via Google

“We engaged Detailed Planning this year to prepare drawings and seek local authority planning for the redevelopment of our home from 2 flats into a single dwelling.
We worked with several members of the team and they succeeded in gaining permission from Camden Council much faster than we expected and without any alteration to our proposal.
Their work was exemplary, excellent value and the proof of the process is within the work completed by our builder.
I have no hesitation in recommending their services.”
