Recommendations for structural engineer and architect near Hertford

[Shard1662]

I would be very grateful for any kind Mumsnetters' recommendations in connection with a rebuild of a large house near Hertford. Many thanks!

Start with the architect. They will probably know a suitable Structural Engineer. One way to find a good architect is to find new houses you like and go into the planning portal and see who the architect was. We have used Jane Duncan who is based in Bucks but she would do a grand job for you.

Thanks Bubbles

We've just had an architect from Wastell & Porter (from Hitchin) come round to ours in WGC.

Our friends have recommended them and they seem very good so far. Have a look at their website.

Thanks Now. I will check them out!

Join the Ware and Hertford mums Facebook group as lots of recommendations on there.

We used Hertford Planning Services for our extension. They were recommended from someone else and we were happy with them. They did a good job for the price they quoted. We didn’t get lots of quotes as the recommendation was worth it for us but I do know the price was fair when compared to other projects and it was hassle free.

They had some structural engineers they had used before and could recommend.

Also they know What is expected for the local planning committees so were really helpful in ensuring our permission was granted first time without any objections at all.

I can also recommend a builder if you want, they have almost become friends as they were so good.

Hi @OP, I know a reasonably priced structural engineer for London and surroundings and I’m an architect. If you want to discuss just send me a PM. I’d be happy to help where I can. Done about 15 planning apps for extensions/refurbs in London and surrounding. Thanks.

We also used Hertford Planning Services and am happy to recommend. Just finishing the job and they’ve been great

Thank you very much everybody for the recommendations. I am really grateful.
