James King Architects

James designed our kitchen/diner extension, managed the planning process and procurement of a builder. James came up with a great design that was innovative and dealt with the many levels at the back our house perfectly. James is also very practical and had many ideas to make the build more cost effective. Basically James is very professional and a great person to work with. Highly recommended.

James King Architects are excellent. If you require an Architect for the design of your project, look no further. Their attention to & the depth of detail is great. We, Vencer Ltd, are a building contractor who embrace as much detail on drawings as possible so when we supply our quotation to undertake the construction works, we can provide as much cost certainty as possible. During the project, if any assistance from them is needed, they communicate very well & are always happy to help. We would highly recommend their service.

We loved the design James provided. He was happy to help with any questions or queries along the way. Would highly recommend.

James provided an exceptional service from initial engagement to our eventual decision not to proceed with our project. Having initially obtained planning permission off our own back, James helped us reimagine the potential for the space we had to work with and, through a combination of on-site meetings( (pre-COVID, I hasten to add) and 3D models & 2D plans, helped us form a far better idea of what was possible than we'd originally assumed. He worked through our options with us, advising us at each step, connecting us with the relevant people and providing excellent advice. Then COVID hit and, ultimately, we decided not to proceed with our plans, however, we wouldn't hesitate to work with James again and have recommended him to friends already.

I'd have no hesitation in recommending James, the service he provided was very professional and excellent in quality. James always had time to answer questions and his knowledge is exemplary. Highly recommend.

We hired James to design our first floor extension at our 1960’s semi. His design, which is due to be built over the next few months, is set to lift our fairly normal property to something really special. James’ design includes a wall of glass overlooking our garden, a kitchen/diner, snug, utility room and a re- design of the downstairs layout. James has been so helpful throughout the whole process, not just in designing the space but in specifying materials, recommending contractors and adding those little touches that we would never have thought of. He has always been at the end of the phone or email with any queries we’ve had and has guided us through the process of dealing with our water company as we need to move a drain. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James, he has been fantastic!

We are delighted with the extension that James designed for our 1926 semi-detached house. He listened carefully to our requirements and then worked closely with us to ensure that the resulting design met our needs. We have fairly traditional tastes and he respected this. He always responded quickly to any queries and dealt efficiently with the local authority. We now have a beautiful kitchen, utility and downstairs wc/shower and love our ‘new’ home.

Very professional. Surprisingly fast drawing up plans and responded quickly to our queries. Designed a fantastic bespoke side extension to our down stairs living space. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Highly recommended

I am a retired Chartered Surveyor and instructed James to prepare plans for an extension to our home. He obtained 3 estimates and recommended the successful company. His up to date knowledge efficiency was very impressive but what pleased me most was that he was always "ahead" of us, the client, and kept to his time line and was easy to contact. As a small practice his fee was very reasonable. He is strongly recommended by us. Graeme Ingram Evans FRICS

James King has recently acted for us to extend our Victorian semi - detached home. We are delighted with the outcome. Pre planning my husband and I changed our minds on certain ideas and went ‘back to the drawing board’, thankfully James is very patient and always maintained a true professional manner with a lot of good ideas and solutions. I would not hesitate to recommend James King and gladly give him 5 stars.

James listened attentively to our business plans and produced a design that really worked with the physical constraints of the plot. I’d have every confidence in recommending his services and suggest early project engagement to help sense check your imagination!
