I engaged Guy for a rear single story extension to my house. Guy was very informative and easy to work with and stuck to the timescales he initially gave.
He gave me plenty of options which improved my initial ideas of what I wanted for the space. We are currently moving forward with planning and hope to start soon!

Working with Guy on our kitchen extension was a straightforward and positive experience. He did a great job balancing creative design with a practical approach, ensuring the new layout maximized both space and natural light.
Guy really listened to our requirements and produced clear, professional plans that captured exactly what we were looking for. He also handled the entire planning application process for us, which took a huge weight off our shoulders and kept the project moving forward without any stress.
He was reliable, easy to communicate with, and delivered exactly what was promised. I’d highly recommend Guy to anyone looking for a competent architect to get their project off the drawing board.

Guy provided us with architectural drawings for our home renovation project. He helped with design advice, talking us through pros and cons of each option, taking the time to understand in detail exactly what we wanted. We also asked Guy to produce various options to challenge our thinking, and they were fantastic - all took our original ideas and supplemented them with some really interesting architectural elements. The way Guy presented his designs back to us, talked us through the options, took the time to listen to our feedback and then adjusted accordingly, has given us some stellar designs we are really excited about. Thank you so much - we would absolutely use Mr Guys again for any future projects. More...

Really easy to deal with and Guy very quickly sorted out what was required and produced the relevant drawings. Would use again if I need this kind of service so recommended

Guy couldn’t have been more helpful with advice and clearly talking me through the process at each design stage. Drawings were received in a very fast turnaround and great communication all round.

We genuinely can't believe how fortunate we were to find Guy. We had never been through any house build process and didn't know where to begin, Guy guided us faultlessly through the design and planning stages, even going as far to help with quotes for 3rd party services such as building control and civil/structural engineers.

The plans and reports that he produces are extensive, and cover everything you need throughout the build journey.

His vision for our house has been more than we could ever have imagined ourselves, and we're so happy with the results. Thanks again for everything Guy!

Since taking over a planning request last year Mr Guy has been very helpful in getting to planning permission granted. He has always been there to answer questions and advising me in all aspects of the procedure.

4 June 2025

We can’t recommend Guy highly enough. After being told by other architects that our project was unlikely to gain planning permission, we were close to giving up. Then we found Guy.

From our first meeting, he stood out for his in-depth knowledge of planning regulations, creative thinking, and practical, honest advice. He really took the time to understand our vision and came up with a design that worked for us and met the expectations of the local planning authority.

Thanks to Guy’s expertise, attention to detail, and his ability to communicate effectively with the council, we were finally granted planning permission—something we didn’t think was possible.

If you’re facing a challenging planning situation, do yourself a favour and speak to Guy. He delivered where others couldn’t and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

Working with Guy on the design of our extension has been an absolute delight. From the very start of the process he's been friendly & professional. He is very knowledgable with regard to planning and building control, which has made the entire process a frictionless experience.

Guy has a great eye for design and absolutely wowed us with the designs he presented to us in the early stages of the engagement. Once we settled on an initial design, he was happy to make amendments to fit our requirements. The opportunity to have a virtual visit using VR to our extension was a real bonus, as it really lets you get a feel for how the space will work once built.

Guy has handled all third parties for us (planning, structural engineer, civil engineer etc.) which has been a great help and ensured that any issues get resolved quickly.

I would have no issue at all in recommending Guy to others looking to have design work done for extensions.

Guy was friendly, efficient, imaginative and communicative throughout the process. His work is really first class.

15 August 2023

Mr Guy’s provided me with a highly professional service. First class drawings with excellent, innovative design features. All discussed to make sure it was exactly as I wanted before submitting to planning.
My property is in a grade two listed park and a conservation area so Mr Guy’s did extensive research. I cannot recommend this highly skilled architect enough. You won’t be disappointed.

Q&As

I enjoy helping people make better use of their homes. Every project is different, and I like finding practical solutions that fit how a family lives. Seeing a design move from an idea to a built space that changes the way a home works is the most rewarding part of my work.

I wanted to offer a service that gives clients clear advice and well considered designs without unnecessary complication. Starting my own practice allows me to focus on each project from the first conversation through to completion, making sure clients feel supported at every stage.

I am a qualified architect with experience in extensions, conversions and alterations to existing homes. My work is based on clear communication, practical design and compliance with planning and building regulations. I take time to understand how clients use their homes and provide solutions that are both functional and well considered. My approach is professional but simple, guiding clients through each stage so the process feels manageable and the outcome adds real value to their property.

Yes, I can provide services online. Initial consultations can be carried out by phone or video call. Clients can send existing drawings, photographs and measurements for me to prepare design proposals. Planning and building regulation drawings are produced digitally and shared by email for review. Applications to local authorities are submitted online, which allows me to handle projects across different areas without needing to visit in person for every stage. Site visits can still be arranged where needed.

I follow current government guidance to keep clients safe. Most meetings can take place by phone or video call. When site visits are needed, I wear a mask if requested and keep safe distances. All drawings and documents are shared electronically, reducing the need for in-person meetings. This approach allows projects to progress while minimising unnecessary contact.

Services

I provide full design and planning services for single and two storey extensions. This includes measured surveys, preparation of drawings, and guidance through planning and building control. Each design is tailored to your home and site, ensuring the extension adds useful space while meeting planning policy and regulations. I also consider daylight, layout and energy performance so the new rooms feel part of the house rather than an addition.

Converting a garage is one of the most effective ways to create extra space without building a large extension. I prepare drawings for layouts that suit living rooms, bedrooms, studies or utility areas. My service covers building regulation requirements such as insulation, fire separation and ventilation. I make sure the conversion integrates with the rest of the house, so it feels like a natural part of your home rather than a retrofit.

I advise on new and replacement windows to improve energy efficiency, daylight and appearance. I can prepare plans that show the design and size of proposed windows for planning applications when required. My service includes ensuring compliance with current building regulations for safety glazing, thermal performance and ventilation. Replacement windows can be designed to respect the character of your property while meeting modern standards.

I prepare and submit drawings and documents required for planning approval. This includes site plans, elevations, design statements and any supporting information requested by the local authority. I liaise with the planning officers as needed, and I guide clients through the process so they understand each stage. My approach is to ensure applications are clear and well presented, which improves the chances of a smooth approval.

I produce detailed drawings that set out how the project will comply with current building regulations. This includes structure, insulation, drainage, fire safety, ventilation and access. These drawings are suitable for submission to building control and can also be used by builders to price and construct the work. My role is to ensure that designs are practical to build while meeting the required standards.

I offer an initial consultation to discuss your ideas and explore the best options for your property. This can include sketch layouts, advice on planning policy, and an outline of the process and costs involved. The consultation is a chance to identify what is possible before committing to detailed drawings or applications. Clients often find this early stage helps clarify priorities and avoids unnecessary expense later.
