Used for Rear single storey extension & garage conversion; very pleased; Daniel is so lovely & easygoing to communicate with and has made the whole process so effortless. Planning was approved a lot sooner than expected.
Being Plight
Chris and Paul were great, we were very happy with the whole experience. They helped us redesign our flat, including adding a side return and rear extension, and paid close attention to what we wanted. They sorted all the pre-construction admin and were responsive during construction itself, which was much appreciated.
