Architect/Builder Recommendations for Extension?


Recommended Posts

Hello, we are looking to have a home extension done and are hoping to get some recommendations from people in the area who have had similar projects done. We are deciding between having a side return kitchen extension or an addition to the end of the property.From what we have seen side returns are quite a lot more expensive so that may be out of our budget.


Any help greatly appreciated


Thanks!

Hi Kate,


I think I might be able to help. I work for myself (based in Peckham) and oversee the drwgs, planning, structural

engineering and building control for developments like yours. Basically I provide all the architectural services you'll need to see your build through. Funnily enough Tony Pescana (recommended builder above) is quoting on a job for me in Bellenden Rd. I do a lot of side and rear extensions these days so feel free to get in touch if you want any advice. I'll also be able to give you a good steer on costs. Please do get in touch and in the meantime feel free to have a look at my website. All the best, Mikail (www.fixateddesign.co.uk)

I highly recommend Majek Kocon who runs Magic Projects (www.magicprojects.co.uk). He did an excellent job for us - kitchen extension. Very professional, on budget and on time. He's also very calm - never flustered - a very good trait when it comes to major house renovations!

Hi All,


I am in the middle of a large kitchen/living area extension and carried out extensive research on architects and builders. There is a hidden gem who I have engaged to do the design and the build of my extension. I could not be more pleased with their services.

Every single day the builders turn up at 8am and work through (without leaving the site) until 5pm.


As for the plans themselves, they are better than I could have ever expected.


Call Paul on 07746 116041, [email protected]

The company is called Sigma Builders and can be found on ( www.sigma-builders.co.uk )

Hi Kate


Really encouraged by your recommendation and have just got in touch with them, we'll see what they come back with. My job is possibly bigger - loft conversion, two extensions, landscape garden - pretty much a complete house renovation - would you recommend them for this size job too?


Thank you - appreciate it.

    • Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.
    • Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)
    • Please let me know if anyone is selling a Hemnes daybed in the near future. Thanks 
    • Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
