Highlights

"Great company with brilliant communication and professionalism. Josh the architect has been incredible in his work & speed, Rebecca the head of comms and admin has been thorough, prompt and helpful throughout! Last but not least, we chose this company as the Director; Philip took us through a FREE 40 min consultation to introduce us to the company and gave us some pretty incredible tips and extension design ideas. This really helped the whole process and he gave us some serious value and quality on this call, even before we were customers/clients."

"Working with Extension Plans UK has been a fantastic experience. The team have been extremely helpful explaining the process and very quick to respond to all of our questions. The pricing has been extremely transparent, with absolutely no hidden costs. We found the price to be extremely competitive in comparison to other architects we spoke to. The drawings were very clear and we loved the balance between our own suggestions versus the architects expertise. Couldn’t be happier with the service, price and experience!"

"Extension Plans UK did a good job, we had an initial discussion with the head architect, and once we'd agreed to their 'silver package' we mostly dealt with an architectural assistant. She was really good, very happy to help us in getting the plans we wanted and accommodated our requests. The studio administrator was really on it and made sure various documents were sent and organised at the right time."

"Architect" is a title protected by law - only people on the official Architects Register (held by ARB) may use it. Confirm they're on it before you commission a design.

Check the Architects Register
Smart checks

Before you hire an architect

Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK — ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
Agree how they charge before any work starts — a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate — and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded — the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site — and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
