I would highly recommend Nick Pitcher if you are looking for an architect. We had a very tight schedule as we were trying to get building work done before the arrival of our second child. Nick understood exactly what we wanted to get out of our extension and suggested a couple of ideas before we decided on the final design. He kept in contact throughout the process of applying for planning permission and building control consent. We also had many positive comments from builders quoting for our project on the quality and details of his drawings. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.
