“My company worked closely with Raebrooke on a listed development that consisted of multiple boutique styled apartments. Their team was extremely professional through the design stage, build and throughout the install and handover. Their knowledge of products and suppliers in the industry was invaluable and the detail and quality of work carried out was produced to a high standard. We were able to work together to ensure client brief, budget and vision were all met.”

“Caroline has been such a great inspiration to us with getting us to think carefully about what we want from our house interior! She has come up with a beautiful colour scheme and has great ideas and vision on how to throw some colour in too. Very professional and friendly with excellent customer service. With the added bonus that she can upholster cushions and blinds too and keen to upcycle existing items that we already have! Would highly recommend ”

“A pleasure to work with Julia, a combination of talent, taste and professional approach. Excellent client service, and getting things done and ideas implemented. We now have a home we dreamt of thanks to Julia's work. Highly recommended, a rare find and now a friend for life!”

“Gemma from Balance Interior Design has been wonderful at transforming spaces within our home. She has a calm, approachable manner and strives to create aesthetic and functional perfection, suited to her client. She worked with us on providing different options to suit our budget and needs, with lots of different recommendations on suppliers and materials, and worked with us throughout the whole process.”

“Working with Linda from No471 was a dream! Not only is she a perfectionist with an eye for detail: she listened to what I needed and understood immediately how to achieve the best possible outcome. I had a spacious “summer room” at the back of my property that was no longer fit for purpose and I needed it transformed into a comfortable Beauty Treatment Room. The results were better than I expected. Thank you Linda @ No471.”

“Elisa is a resourceful and creative person, she loves to listen, will present a vision but is never imposing. She works with you to be able to understand you and your desires. She knows how to create a climate of trust, takes your personal ideas into account and helps you put them into perspective so that you can see all the other possibilities open to you. She knows how to enhance a place by harmonising colours, appropriate styles and optimising spaces.”

“This team are very thorough and appreciate high quality products, it was a pleasure to be part of this project.”

“From start to finish, Chloe was amazing to work with! I felt like she really listened to what I wanted and understood the vision (even though I wasn’t even sure what I wanted). Chloe sent through lists and links to items to furnish the space and worked to strict budget. I was surprised how far she was able to make it stretch and how good value for money everything was. I kind of assumed that recommendations would be costly but that wasn’t the case at all! Also, Chloe is so lovely and easy to talk to too which made the whole process even nicer. I can’t recommend working with her enough and will definitely get her help on the next room we do!”

“We instructed Laura for the design of our Lounge after being impressed with the initial consultation that Laura gave; Laura really took on board what we were looking for - a functional living room in an Edwardian setting. Once the design was completed, Laura arranged a presentation for us to go through the overall design and the products that she had sourced for the room. We could not have been happier with the design or the furnishings sourced, and used everything that she recommended. Whilst we might have been able to choose a paint colour ourselves, it's highly unlikely that we could have come up with the fixtures, fittings and wonderful furnishings that actually make the lounge amazing. My husband remarked that Laura's fee was the best amount of money we could have spent on the decoration of our home. We would not hesitate to recommend Laura and her amazing designs which are totally in keeping with the clients requirements, and have in fact arranged for Laura to design our dining room and hall, stairs and landing..”

“For some years, we had planned to extend our 3 bedroom, end-of-terrace property and already had plans drawn up and approved. However, with the passage of time, we wanted to be sure that these plans continued to suit our purposes. We invited Nick to review the proposals and he made a number of very useful observations. Importantly, he helped us to see that we could reconfigure the space and change our way of living to enjoy an improved view of the garden and across the valley in a light-filled, open-plan kitchen-diner with separate seating area. He also identified some simple changes to the layout to maximise functionality of the various new spaces, creating a separate utility room that we had always wanted, and an area for our pets. He also spotted a design simplification that would facilitate installation of a new kitchen. The proposed renovation would affect many of the spaces in the house, so Nick produced several 3D models of the whole property to help us to envisage optional layouts. His advice, supported by the different models and estimated costs, also identified elements that were not worth pursuing, releasing funds for other aspects that were more important to us. With the basic layout agreed, Nick worked with the architect, structural engineer, and Council planning officers to ensure that the agreed re-design would be approved. In parallel, he produced a very detailed specification with electrical and lighting layout and schematic for the TV, music and IT installation; this, together with architect’s drawings, formed the tender package against which 3 contractors bid a fixed price. We came to realise that this detailed document with specific references was critical to containing the price within defined limits; through the specification, the contractor was given very clear instructions on specific building works, plumbing and heating, joinery, lighting, flooring and other aspects of the project. Nick ran a competitive tender working closely with us and the 3 bidders. Together, we then selected the winning contractor and work started. In essence, whilst we lived with the building work, Nick was on site almost every day to keep an eye on developments and make decisions where required. Largely, we sat back and made cups of tea for the builders. If we spotted anything of concern, we generally raised this with Nick in the first instance and he would either explain the issue to us or, if some action was required, would address it with the contractor. Having established the principal price for the works, Nick was also keen to show us the total cost of the project including carpets, window dressings, audio equipment etc. He had also designed a number of bespoke storage units some of which were eventually fabricated and fitted. Early in the planning process we met to review decorative schemes with samples to show how each room would look and feel, along with the associated prices. He maintained a detailed spreadsheet, so that we could budget for furnishings over a timescale that suited us. The spreadsheet included a risk budget for identified risks, to help us understand the level of caution required as the project progressed. The value of the main contractor’s work was £120k + VAT (including kitchen) and the total project budgeted price was £150k + VAT (including furnishings etc). Nick oversaw the contractor’s implementation of the design. He also managed any interfaces between the contractor and other suppliers, and organised purchase of additional items such as the kitchen, carpets, blinds, and audio kit. He took us to view kitchens and appliances so that we could confirm our requirement. He then negotiated a good price for us which saved several £ks. This was another feature of working with Nick; not only did he negotiate good prices on our behalf, he also passed on elements of his trade discounts to us, and identified cost effective solutions which more than paid for his fees. We were particularly fascinated by Nick’s attention to detail and came to realise and appreciate its importance. For example, his insistence on the apparently small detail of aligning the floor level at the threshold to the French doors was simple to implement, but the contractors would have proceeded to fit a step over the threshold (because it was easy and what they always do) without Nick insisting otherwise. We now have no such trip-hazards. As the project proceeded, Nick spent more time with us and our teenagers, confirming styles and tastes, bringing samples and putting together schemes, before sourcing carpets and other fixtures and fittings. He introduced us to a number of new ideas: all of our friends marvel at our purple glass splashback and resin-worktop; the walk-in rain shower is fabulous; the music distribution system is fantastic, the wide floorboards are a real feature, and the look of our spacious, contemporary kitchen-diner is very special. He also future-proofed the property with an ethernet network in all key areas of the home. To manage cash-flow, the project was split into 2 phases. In planning for this, Nick ensured that all foundations, cabling, and pipes for phase 2 were installed during phase 1, negating the need for re-work or additional work later. In fact, during the 6 month break between phases, the contractor failed to record works already completed and paid for, and were preparing to escalate the ongoing price significantly (by approximately £8k, or 30% of the price remaining). However, Nick’s dogged determination and scrupulous record-keeping allowed us to maintain the project largely within the original price (allowing only for a legitimate inflationary increase in materials and labour). Throughout the project, we had every confidence that Nick would address any issue with the work. He produced a detailed snagging list at the end of each phase and ensured that all items were closed before the project was signed off. We are delighted with our “new” home and, having lived with it now for over a year, we find it practical as well as stylish, with plenty of functionality, space and light. Nick is a pleasure to work with. He offers fresh ideas and has opened our eyes to opportunities that we would otherwise have missed. Equally, he accepts respectfully that a client may not always be able to follow a particular recommendation. He is extraordinarily diligent and reliable and his involvement saved us money overall (to the tune of many £ks). We will certainly continue to use his services for future developments of our home and it gives us great pleasure to recommend him to others.”
