Friendly Local Architects

Our local RIBA registered Architects are specialists in your area and you can get some helpful advice from your architect at a free initial consultation.

Multiple Design Options

Explore all of your design options with your architect so that you’re confident and satisfied that the design you chose is truly the right solution for you.

Never on your own

Your architect will help and guide you through all the statutory processes, obtain quotes for other professionals for you where needed and can even help you find a reputable builder.

At House Architects we specialise in re-designing, re-configuring, and extending your house to create your forever-home that works for you, your family and your lifestyle. Our team at House Architects have designed over 100 house extensions for happy clients. We are fully qualified, award winning and RIBA Chartered. We deal only in the domestic residential sector so you can have confidence that you are in the hands of a specialist who can give your house extension or refurbishment the care and attention it deserves!

How It Works

Book a free consultation for an online meeting with the RIBA chartered House architect for your area. At the consultation, find out what’s possible, ask questions, find out about the planning and building regulations, and talk about timescales. Your architect will ask questions to find out what you need and what you’re looking for.

Book in the measured survey with a CIAT registered House architectural technician. Our technician will come to your home and conduct a full measured survey which will take around 2 hours. This can be scheduled at a date and time to suit you.

Schedule your online Design Consultation with your architect. During the consultation, review the options drawn up and see if there are any other solutions. Explore advantages and disadvantages of each design and evaluate them in terms of budget and value for money.

Once you’ve decided on your preferred design it’s time to obtain planning permission from your local authority. Your architect and their technical team will prepare the CAD drawings and application, check you’re happy with them, and then submit the proposals. Your House architect will then manage the process and liaise with the planning officers.

Obtain building regulations approval. Your architect will prepare the building regulations drawings package and application and submit and manage the application. Where others need to provide input, such as a Structural Engineer or Principal Designer, your architect will also manage this and get quotes for you where needed.

You have your approvals! Once you have obtained all your approvals, you’re ready to build! If you’re not sure which builder to use, don’t worry, your House architect can also help you find a reputable builder!

The service is fantastic and the help Catherine provided was brilliant. I have been looking for a simple and easy to use architect service that deals with home improvements for ages. Unlike the many other architects I contacted, Catherine actually responded with a clear service description and clear pricing. The free initial consultation was super insightful. The design consultation gave us everything we needed and ended years of procrastination about the best options to solve the functional issues we have with our house. Catherine helped us narrow down what was really important, drew up a number of different options from simple solutions to grander designs and then talked us through them in detail. The benefit of engaging an architect has been immense. I have no hesitation in recommending Catherine.

House are great architects! I used them for an extension over my garage to make an extra bedroom for my foster daughter. I had an objection from my neighbour but our architect was really good with the council and we got planning permission in spite of the objection. The bedroom is fab, Catherine the architect designed a walk in wardrobe for it, and a skylight which floods the room with light, it’s lovely and bright. I’ve used House since then for an outbuilding in the garden which we got through planning and I plan to also extend the garage in a few years so I’ll definitely be using them again. I would recommend them to anyone I know who wants a house extension, they have fab ideas and make everything easy. Mary xx

Catherine offered very professional advice during her design consultation and made it really easy to explore different ideas for what we wanted from our extension. The service was great and we felt supported by Catherine throughout the whole process, we would absolutely recommend using House for anyone wanting to extend their home.

House came up with several designs for extending my current bathroom. The designs were really good and the advice they gave on the planning and building regulations was very thorough and helpful. Would recomend. Marianne.
