Design & Construction Firms in Leigh on Sea, Essex, UK

“To set the scene : we are mid-way through construction, to renovate & extend of our Victorian terrace in East London. We've had Seán and Stephen Ltd as our architects for 18 months so far. My wife and I are complete novices to design & construction, and Seán and Stephen have expertly and supportively guided us through each stage, enabling us to really enjoy every part of creating our new home. I would happily recommend this professional practice to family and friends. They were great at helping to bring some of our own design preferences to life using plans, 3D models, and interactive virtual room design tools. But they also have challenged our thinking too, leading us to add in a number of amazing and creative features that we would never otherwise have considered. Seán and Stephen created an extremely thorough and professional Design & Access Statement to help explain our project to the local planners. As a direct result of the quality of S&S’s planning pack our application (which proposed various potentially contentious items such as a basement, lightwell, and dormer) was approved without a single significant amendment. Since the contractor began the works Seán and Stephen have project managed every aspect of the construction programme, providing us with detailed weekly updates and explaining everything to us in layman’s terms. They consistently fight our corner with the contractor on a number of technical and cost-related issues which gives us real confidence that the project is in safe hands. So far we have enjoyed a stress-free project thanks to their project management skills”

“We used these guys for a kitchen conversion and full garden digout & build. They were brilliant throughout, very trustworthy and quick to react, managed our expectations well. Unexpected extras were no problem and they were always the lowest quote when shopping around. We ended up with a great finish. These guys are mostly Lithuanians and probably the hardest workers I've ever seen, almost embarrassing, I asked my kid not to watch them so that he's not disappointed in my own efforts.”

“We hired CELLI Property Care for our loft conversion, and I can honestly say that they were just more then we expected. It was our first time doing something this big to our house so we needed someone with experience that knew exactly what would go into a project like this. They did a fantastic job at walking us through every part of the project and they guaranteed that they will keep us in the loop throughout the whole process. The guys were really hardworking, tidy and polite. They would clean at the end of each working day, and they did everything possible not to disturb us. The price wasn't the cheapest of all the quotes we've received, but Celino was by far the most knowledgeable and patient estimator that came to visit us. Overall we are very happy with the job and we would recommend CELLI Property Care to anyone looking to hire a responsible, fair and hardworking contractor. Emma Hughes”

“Greg was introduced and recommended to us by Ana of High End Kitchen to complete Refresh of Kitchen and Rip and Rebuild of the Extension. Budget was fixed and most of the quotes received barely covered building work. Seems the quotes were post code based. It was refreshing, Greg responded by making an appointment to review the build on site with Ana. Also explained the details of what will be quoted on rather than just the location of the post-code x £K per square Meter, with written confirmation of this and a risk mitigating - progressive weekly payment plan, which spanned the duration of the work. In essence, Wife and I were sold on Greg's honesty and professional approach to us, even before the quotation dropped in my inbox. The Other main point which convinced us to use Greg (Design By London) was his preference to focus on one build at a time, rather than spread across a number of build projects. As agreed the Work Started, on most days of the week there were 2 or 3 on site, specially during any initial demolishment/Rebuild work, so the external shell can be completed as soon as possible. All of the Additional resources Greg brings in are courteous and absolutely trust worthy. Other important fact is, as the kitchen was being rebuilt by Greg and co-working with Ana, all measurements for the kitchen furniture and its fitting into the rebuilt shell was 100% perfect. With Greg, there is no need for a Project Manager to oversee the work, Greg will take on that role and ensure all is completed within the agreed window in a logical manner to reduce/eliminate waiting time. As it usually happens, once the work commenced with the confidence on the quality of the work and speed, we started to add more to the build, which again goes through the formal detailed quotation for us to decide to progress or not. Usually as expected, we accepted and added to the refurbishment/build. During the initial shell demolishment and re-build, there will be unexpected findings which require additional spend, these are unavoidable and needs to be factored in, as the structural survey will not spot, rotten beams or unsafe previous build etc.. Apart from the dust and noise, We have been extremely satisfied with Greg and his team, their speed of build, finish and very tidy and safe approach. Highly Recommend Greg of By Design London Ltd for his and his teams professional approach and quality of build without any hint of hesitation.”
