Testimonials
From first contact to completion they were a great company to work with. Ralph listened to what we wanted and came up with a design which filled our brief but also encouraged us to consider ideas and materials which we wouldn’t have originally gone for. This resulted in a much more exciting and satisfying end result.
The whole team were skilled and patient with us as clients. When there were doubts or queries, they carefully explained the rationale for why they wanted to do things that way. Although having building work done will never be stress free, having Ralph and the team working for us meant that this was minimised.
The team took pride in the build and the work on site was skilful with everyone paying great attention to the detail, even if this resulted in more time on the job. It was reassuring to know that Ralph wanted to deliver a project that we as clients were happy with at every stage in the process.
We are delighted with our extension. It has transformed the feel of the whole downstairs. Light, which was previous lacking is now abundant. It is a joy to be in the room as it not only has delivered on the function we were after but also brings aesthetic delight, both internally and externally. We would highly recommend Ralph and the team to anyone thinking of an extension, particularly if they are looking for something which has the wow factor and not just the standard kitchen add on.
