Mr & Mrs Gates - St Albans: Two storey front & side and single storey rear extensions, garage conversion and internal layout alterations etc.
"Hi Paul,
We moved in last week and are absolutely delighted. The house is great. We've still got quite a bit of unpacking to do..... but it's already changed the way that we live, which is what we wanted... "
Mr & Mrs Morley - St Albans: First floor side extension and layout modification
"Hi Paul
We are very happy. The kids are thrilled with their new rooms. The former bathroom, despite being smaller now, actually feels bigger than before since being converted to a shower room (1200 x 800 shower makes all big difference).
The new family bathroom at the front is still being finished off, but we can already tell that it is going to be a great improvement.
The new, bigger landing area and stairs have created an extra sense of space that we hadn't anticipated.
We were extremely satisfied with your services. The quality of advice was excellent. The timeliness of your communication was also great (far better than my responses, on occasions !!). I'm also happy to report there have been no gotchas for / gripes from the builder :-).
We will certainly be recommending you to friends & colleagues
Regards Ben"

Mr and Mrs Taylor - Forster - Radlett; Remodelling of detatched house to include a new 2nd floor level with entire new roof, new garage roof, internal layout alterations and external facade changes.
"Hi Paul,
The service we have received from you has always been excellent. You have come up with different designs and ideas that we would not have thought of, for our previous house which was a great project.
For our current property you became our architect again as we wanted to work with you when we brought the house, instead of the architect who drew the plans for the previous owners.
You really listen to what people want and give them that within their budget. You also explore other options and designs to see what works best, for the property and financially.
You also explain technical issues in plain English and put down very clearly any implications of changing plans.
You are always cheerful. I would love to work with you again but I do hope this will now be our forever house. I am pleased that we are still neighbours as we will still see you around.
Best and kind regards, Rachel"

"We appointed PLK Design to design and coordinate refurbishment and multiple large extensions to our Victorian home in Letchmore Heath and were aware of the potential difficulties connected with gaining approval to alter our 'Locally Listed' house but luckily we knew of PLK Design's previous successes in Letchmore Heath because they had just completed a major project for our neighbours.
Paul listened carefully to our brief and worked closely with us to develop alternative design options which were then refined to suit our specific requirements and were very happy with the proposed designs and even more delighted when we received confirmation that planning permission had been granted for our scheme.
Paul had anticipated and dealt with the planners' many requirements including tree protection plans and the selection of materials etc., so our planning application was approved first time.
Since then PLK Design have helped us to put together and coordinate an excellent team of specialists to bring us to the stage where our project is fully approved and all of the construction work is now completed. We are very grateful to PLK Design for their support and expertise.
We would not hesitate to recommend PLK Design to our friends and family and we would be happy to work with PLK Design again in the future".

"The standard of service we've received from PLK Design has been outstanding and we're so pleased that we chose them for our project. Paul Kennedy is reliable and committed and his attention to detail is exceptional. Queries are responded to promptly and what could have been a daunting process has become one where we feel supported in this new world of planning, building control, Party Wall issues and the selection of builders. Knowing that Paul is around to guide us is very reassuring. We'd be very happy to recommend PLK Design."
