We approached Binney and Sims to design a single storey pan-tiled kitchen-diner extension to the ground floor of our house in Cambridgeshire. The existing house is a nightmare of different construction across at least 2 centuries and no 2 walls are perpendicular to each other or the ground upon which they sit. To add to the confusion, our plans also needed to get rid of a dilapidated 1980s-built conservatory. From the outset Binney and Sims were right on top of our brief. They made a thorough survey of our site and came up with a great first set of drawings. Inevitably, the visualisation that these provided gave us more to think about and prompted a rethink of our original approach. As our plans evolved we became doubtful how things would eventually look on the ground and, so, Binney and Sims produced a 3-D view to help us visualise the ideas involved. When it came to dealing with the Parish Council over Planning Permission and their muppet objections about bat nests, underground water courses and the duck pond half a mile away Binney and Sims took it all on so we didn't have to. They ran with all this throughout and didn't charge us a penny over their originally quoted fee. Every one of our many e-mails was answered politely, thoroughly and quickly. Couldn't have asked for a better, more responsive service and absolutely delighted to be moving forward with the dream plan for our home.
An absolutely outstanding job. We got Tommy in to skim 3 walls and the ceiling in the main bedroom we'd spent 13 months rebuilding. A lot of hard yards went in to that project, so we only wanted the best. We weren't disappointed! Tommy came the afternoon before to sort out the eaves on the cathedral ceiling and tape-up the seams on our plasterboard. He then arrived at 7.30am the next morning and grafted though 'til gone 3pm. What had started off as the wonkiest set of walls and ceiling imaginable was finished-off billiard ball smooth. A really, really first class finish from a polite and talented professional.
