I employed Stephen Waldron Architects Ltd two years ago with the aim of attaining planning permission on a number of plots in the Pontardawe area.
It has been a pleasure working with Stephen in this time and I found him exceptionally knowledgeable and as a result, very easy to work with.
The project was potentially problematic due to its location; however Stephen approached it logically, using great design to overcome any reservations the local authority had.
Stephen was prompt in returning my calls and emails and kept me notified of every step of the process. The project required excellent communication skills and a degree of flexibility in dealing with the local authority planning office, which Stephen exhibited on a number of occasions, helping the applications go through as trouble-free as possible.
Stephen is a very likeable person which I’m sure counts in his clients’ favour when dealing with local authorities, and I found his approach to be very professional, with a personal touch.
I would definitely approach Stephen in relation to any future projects, and I would strongly recommend him to others.
What impressed us about Stephen, from the outset, was his willingness to work within the budget with which we felt comfortable.
Rather than approach him with an idea of what we wanted, we instead presented him with the problems we were trying to solve and our perceived needs and nice-to-haves.
What we got from this was a series of ideas, many of which we had not thought of, that stimulated us to think about our home in ways we had not done before.
We called Stephen because our house wasn’t working, we had a tiny kitchen that was always a mess. Stephen worked with us from the ground up finding an expression for what we wanted and making it happen. What we have now is a completely different house that transformed our family and the way we live.
Stephen Waldron approached our rather small roof extension project with enthusiasm and care. He treated our house and our opinions respectfully, always listening to our many questions and answering or helping us answer them.
Not only were we happy with the design process but we were also grateful for Stephen’s extensive knowledge of materials, new technologies and his great experience of local planning procedures and building regulations.
I especially appreciated his allowance for ‘good light’, his meticulous efforts to fit our staircase in and his final bill – which came in under budget. I can’t complain about that!
We now enjoy our views daily.”
“The garage conversion that Stephen undertook for us has been a complete success and enabled us to make use of what was a dead storage space. Stephen quickly understood our needs and provided designs ideas for us to evaluate. Whenever we needed input on the design and build he was quick to respond and this meant we could rely on him to keep the project on time and budget.
We are delighted with the result and everyone comments on what a great space it is. We generally used it as a home office and studio but it has also been used for parties. Stephen helped us to solve a number of problems and we still have a good storage area because an extension was created without spoiling the aesthetic of what is an attractive tile hung building.
The designs had been well thought through and we didn’t encounter any major problems in the planning process. The garage conversion has added significantly to the quality and value of our home. We would be happy to recommend Stephen Waldron Architects.”
We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Stephen on our planning application. The process was smooth and without any hiccups. Stephen is very knowledgeable of local planning regulations. Communication was excellent with Stephen answering the phone at all times and emails answered in a day, sometimes within the hour. He contacted for us all external agencies and spoke personally with planners. We would highly recommend this company.
