Architect recommendations around Lincoln,Grantham, Sleaford area

[Sushiqueen]

Can any one recommend an architect in this area? We are buying a house in this area and want to do an extension to it.

As we are new to the area we don't know any and haven't had any recommended to us (lots of tradesmen recommendations) but none for getting the plans drawn up.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Hi Sushiqueen

I live near to Sleaford/ Grantham in a small village just off A52 and had a an extension done 4 yrs ago with brillant architect and fab builder, if you want their details pm me.

Not a bad approach in general terms and they seem quite popular but just beware:

"..your local architect chosen from our network of experienced and creative professionals.."

for various reasons not all Architects are on this privately-run list so your choice will be restricted.

(I have no axe to grind here because they do not cover my area anyway).

Try Architect Your Home, we used them for our extension last year, extremely professional, gave us fantastic ideas. The best thing is you can choose how much of there service you require.

Thanks for the advice.

Will do as you suggest :)

I'm in Cornwall so no use to you however the RIBA website will help find your local practices:

Find an Architect

She / he can provide inspiration and ideas to ensure what you need is achieved including advice on colours, kitchen layout, Party Wall agreements and a host of other matters above and beyond the drawings.

In addition to the design, a local practice will know the best builders and other tradesmen.

I usually allow an hour's free discussion on site with a potential client to explore (in outline) their aspirations and then offer initial advice on what may be possible, so when you ring them ask if they provide this.
