A House with Pink Stairs

It’s been excellent working with Seán and Matt on the renovation of our house. They listened closely to what we needed and developed thoughtful and exciting designs that responded to our brief and budget. They also made some great suggestions for things we hadn’t even thought of, which has strengthened the design further. We’ve just submitted our planning application, and we can’t wait to see their designs turn into reality.

I commissioned Pencil & Brick’s construction arm to carry out a two-storey rear extension on my property in East London between September and December 2022, for which I had already completed architectural and structural designs. Being my first construction project, I was hugely grateful for the insight and guidance that Pencil & Brick’s highly experienced and dedicated team provided throughout the project. The project was well planned and executed, and I received regular updates and feedback from developments on site. I always found Pencil & Brick to be totally honest and transparent, and this is something that the company clearly prides itself on. Pricing estimates were accurate and realistic, and costs at all stages of the project were clearly broken down and explained.

The highest testimony I can give is having worked with Sean and Stephen in a professional capacity through my role at the London Borough of Waltham Forest I then chose them to be the architects for my own home extension. I trusted them to improve my home, meet my children, husband (and my cats) and to shape how I will live in my house for many years to come…. they are trustworthy, conscientious and sticklers for detail. I felt comfortable leaving them a key to my home when they needed to take measurements and felt able to ring them once the design was completed for advice on anything from the contract, to design challenges, changes and how to approach issues with the contractor.
